Child Development

Suitable for 12 months+, the POLKU balance beam supports the development of gross motor and balancing skills, as children learn how to balance on different beams while following different directions. It also encourages creativity as kids can build different shaped tracks and invent all sorts of fun activities –build a mountain shaped track and pretend the floor is lava, or an ice-cream and compete with friends as to who can get to the top faster – your imagination is the limit!

Design

The POLKU balance beam is available in three different sizes: Small, Medium and Large.

POLKU Small consists of 2 straight beams (2 long) and 3 connectors. It’s ideal for younger kids who have learned how to walk and are ready to improve their balance and coordination. Start by laying the beams on the floor without the connectors before adding height, to build your little ones’ confidence and familiarity with the game.

POLKU Medium consists of 4 straight beams (2 long, 2 short) and 6 connectors. It’s a great choice for increasing the level of difficulty and building first tracks. Add it to an existing POLKU small or simply purchase it on its own.

POLKU Large consists of 8 beams (2 long, 2 short, 2 wavy and 2 curly) and 10 connectors. It’s the best option for creating the most imaginative tracks, ideal for more advanced balancers and fearless beam track designers.
