Balance Blocks

Stacking stones to create balanced forms is a play pattern that has been around for a very long time. Some people turned it into a game with rules, like seven stones. Others, like the Inuit in North America, used it to create decorative balancing forms called inukshuks.

Inspired by all of these, we created Balance Blocks.

For children and adults

Balance Blocks is a physical toy for children that helps develop fine motor skills. Building balanced forms with it gives children a hands-on understanding of gravity, weight, and equilibrium.

For adults it can be both a quiet focus toy that helps them relax alone and a social toy for gatherings. A pile of colorful wooden pieces that is exciting to stack together and joyful to hear collapse.
