The River
Product Code: 1864
This educational game offers unlimited possibilities for you to build more creative balance paths each time. Design your own path by placing the pieces in a circle or one behind the other, or create two parallel paths like a railroad. This activity will awaken senses such as touch to ensure that the foot is in the right place, as well as proprioception, which indicates to the child the force to be applied and the amplitude of the movement to be expected.
Younger children will tend to move sideways on the river since with their feet forward they may have more difficulty keeping their balance on this rather narrow river. Add a degree of difficulty by allowing the child to walk only on a set number of colours. Once the activity is complete, not only will they have successfully completed the course at a steady speed while remaining focused and memorizing all the instructions, but the pieces of your river will stack beautifully for discreet storage.
