Kids will spend hours playing on the Balance Beams. While there isn't much to the equipment, children love to see how well they can walk such a thin line. The balance beam is only 1-foot from the top of the safety surfacing making for a comfortable experience. Children have just the right amount of challenge with safety that they will feel emboldened to try it on their own. It can be added to a new or existing playground quite easily. The bend in the middle takes the massive amount of space it might require and cuts it down allowing for more length for children to walk.
Almost any type of balancing activity is extremely important for toddlers and preschoolers. Developing a vestibular sense will allow them to learn a wide variety of gross motor skills. One of the most iconic balance related milestones is learning to ride a bicycle. Practice on balance play equipment helps kids figure out how their body balances and helps them learn such skills more easily. For another type of balance equipment, be sure to check out the PlayPod Pedestals.
