The POLKU balance beam is a fun and creative balance training course for children.
It has been designed to encourage children's creativity while also contributing to the development of their gross motor skills and sense of balance. With its uniquely shaped beams, it offers endless possibilities to build fun and challenging courses that are not only perfect for teaching children to balance their bodies to navigate different levels and directions, but also for them to let their imagination run wild by discovering and designing various types of courses. The beams can, for example, be shaped into an ice cream, a car, a bear or a lemon – only imagination sets the limits!
In addition to being a perfect product for developing motor skills and creativity, the POLKU balance beam is also an excellent way for children to learn social skills and play together with other children as they build their courses. With our many varied beams, we guarantee that your children will spend hours and hours filled with fun activities. Pretending the floor is lava, competing with friends, and setting rules for how to cross certain types of beams – these are just some of the ways children can play with them!
The POLKU balance beam is available in three different sets – S, M, and L – consisting of various beams and connectors.
In total, there are four types of beams: long straight, short straight, long curved, and bent, and two types of connectors that can be stacked on top of each other to make the courses higher and more challenging.
POLKU S is a perfect option for the youngest children who have already learned to walk and are ready to start exploring their sense of balance and coordination. We recommend that the beams initially be placed on the floor without being connected, so that the children can get to know the course before it is raised from floor level.
Once the child has some experience balancing their body and walking on the beams, the POLKU M set is an excellent option to increase the difficulty and build the first courses. You can also easily expand an existing S set with M to create a bit more variety once the child has practiced their balance for a while and is ready for the next level.
For more advanced balance walkers and fearless course builders, we have POLKU L with a total of 8 beams and 10 connectors, allowing for the most imaginative courses. L is definitely the best option if several children want to play on the course simultaneously or if you simply want to give your little designers more beams to play and experiment with!
Remember that you can also purchase additional beams and connectors from our website to expand your existing set or build your own unique combination!
Please note that the birch-colored option for the POLKU balance beam is treated with pure wax to highlight the natural light shade of the birch wood.
