Puzzle Beam Set

 

A Configurable Balance Beam

Chart your own path! Create a one-of-a-kind balance beam by using the puzzle connectors to join the balance beams. This unique sensory equipment adds lots of therapeutic elements to balance beam fun. Kids develop hand-eye coordination and motor planning skills as they collaborate with each other to combine the pieces. Balance beam pieces are soft and lightweight, so assembling the pieces is a great heavy work activity too. As kids step along the completed path, they learn about their body in space as they navigate each bend. 

• Walking along a balance beam is a sensory activity that engages muscles and builds body awareness 
• Helps kids develop gross motor skills, coordination and balance
• Ages 3-5

 

Ideas for Use 

• Jump to it! Line up the beams horizontally with a gap between each beam, and have kids jump over each beam in turn
• Practice heel-to-toe walking along the balance beam
• For a dynamic balance challenge, place small toys alongside the beam and ask kids to crouch down and pick them up as they walk on the beam
