Robinia Balancing

Down-to-earth learning

Balance is a self-challenging game that provides children a way to develop vital life skills, all without them even noticing. It is often a simple concept, but whether it is a balance beam, a row of stilts or a wobble bridge, the lure to ‘just try me’ is irresistible. Once a child embarks on a balance trail they return to it again and again until walking across the waterlilies or the three beams becomes as natural as walking.

Balancing helps train the eyesight and the child’s ability to concentrate. These basic skills improve child’s readiness for school and their performance in the classroom. A good sense of balance also helps children's motor skills, like kicking a ball or running. Both draw on the child’s ability to balance properly.

Balance also stimulates the imagination. To a child, a row of steps or a single log can become the only route across a crocodile-filled lagoon or pit of molten lava. They can share this game with others, helping to further develop social interaction skills.

Robinia balancing equipment can be placed in numerous ways – alone, together, or in a line. Your playground, your choice, your imagination.
