Kidoki Teeter Totter Shapes Wooden Balance Game

£25.00

Since the dawn of time, stacking blocks has been a staple activity of fun and learning for young children. And yet, for something so fundamentally simple, the Teeter Totter Shapes Wooden Balance Game has taken stacking blocks to a new level, providing fun for all.

Unlike the conventional stacking of wooden blocks, which could become mundane, Kidoki has developed an entertaining balancing game, where you must try and balance different shapes on a weighted crescent block, which tilts and rocks. The crescent is weighted, so it not only stands up but remains stable. Despite the fact that it is made for children aged 3+, I admittedly was addicted to trying to make a topsy-turvy tower out of all the interesting shapes. Each block is a different size and shape, offering a triangle, teardrop, arch, among more. This lets children improve their fine motor skills and helps build awareness of how size affects balance, whilst being distracted by the fun of the game.

Although some would argue that £25 is too pricey for wooden blocks, I would argue otherwise by the fact that the blocks also have rounded edges that have been made with smooth wood, giving them a really professional finish. Another little quirky feature is the googly eyes that have been given to some of the bigger shapes, creating bubbly characters that can be played with outside of stacking.

Overall, the Kidoki Teeter Totter Shapes Wooden Balance Game is a great twist on an iconic child learning activity. Not only does it have a very fun aesthetic, but it also allows children to learn whilst providing hours of fun!

Pros:

- Fun and inventive.

- Elevated an instinctual children’s game.

- Weighted block remains stable.

- Rounded smooth finish to avoid sharp edges.

- Learn and develop important skills whilst playing.
