Wooden Balance Beam for Kids – Montessori Gross Motor Balance Toy (Made in Canada)
Wooden Balance Beam for Kids – Montessori Gross Motor Balance Toy (Made in Canada)
2 Beams
$179.00
A beam raised just enough off the floor to be interesting. Low enough that stepping off it is nothing, high enough that walking the length of it takes concentration.
Rearrange the sections into a straight run, a corner or a loop, and change it when they stop finding it hard. Baltic birch, made in Ontario, and it works outdoors as well as in.
What makes it useful
Two beams or three
Two beams gives you a straight run or a single corner. Enough for one child and a normal sized room, and the sensible starting point.
Three beams gives you the length for a longer route, a proper loop, or two children using it at once.
Not sure? Send us the room size and how many children will use it and we will tell you which we would pick.
Materials and marks, as stated by All Circles
These are the manufacturer's statements rather than testing we hold ourselves. Our certifications page sets out exactly what we hold and what we do not.
Dimensions and fit
Every measurement is on the diagram. Because the beams rearrange, the footprint depends on the layout rather than being fixed.
Leave clear floor either side, since stepping off it is part of using it. Send us the room size if you want us to work out which layout fits.
Full specifications
Materials and finish
Baltic birch plywood, which is denser and has more plies than standard birch ply. That matters on a beam, because the lamination is what stops it flexing underfoot.
All Circles state the wood is FSC certified and the coating is water-based rather than solvent-based.
Rated for indoor and outdoor use, though a wooden beam left out through a Canadian winter will not thank you for it.
Material information comes from the manufacturer rather than from testing we hold ourselves. Our certifications page sets out exactly what we hold.
Use and care
Use it on a flat, hard surface rather than a thick rug, which changes how it sits. Leave clear space either side, since stepping off is part of using it.
Balance equipment is for supervised play, and our Safety First page covers placement.
Rated for outdoor use, but bring it in rather than leaving it out through weather.
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry it. Check the joins periodically, particularly after it has been rearranged.
Shipping and returns
Free shipping across Canada and the contiguous USA. Orders leave us in 1 to 5 business days.
Because it is made in Canada, there is no customs duty and no ocean freight in the timeline.
30 days to return it from the day it arrives. Return shipping is paid by you unless the fault is ours, and there is no restocking fee.
Not sure whether two beams or three, or whether to start with the wobble board instead? Send us the room size and your child's stage and we will tell you honestly. hello@truelittlenorth.com
