First Steps in Balance Kit:

The First Steps in Balance Kit brings together three accessories for exploring balance and motor skills: box stilts for walking while coordinating movements, a balance board for doing little jumps, and a Fun Stepper for moving forward by pedalling. A fun selection for varying activities at home, at school or in circus workshops.

Each accessory offers a different approach to balance. Weight limits are specific to each piece of equipment: 25 kg for the stilts and 60 kg for the Fun Stepper.

The three accessories in the kit:

A pair of box stilts, colour of your choice:

Box stilts let you discover stilt walking 12 cm above the ground. The child places their feet on the bases and holds the cords to accompany their steps. This exercise works on coordination between hands and feet. This model is intended for children aged 4 and up, up to a limit of 25 kg.

A balance board with ball:

Also known as a bouncer spinner, this accessory combines a platform and a central ball. The feet are placed on either side of the ball to hold it between them and make little jumps. The activity requires coordinating your impulse and posture to maintain balance.

The platform measures 37 cm in diameter and the ball 15 cm in diameter. The ball must be inflated before first use.

A four-wheel Fun Stepper:

The Fun Stepper has two pedals, four plastic wheels and two curved metal axles. Standing on the pedals, the child alternates their weight to move forward. With experience, they can also discover reverse walking and vary the exercises.

This model is designed for children. The manufacturer states a maximum user weight of 60 kg.

NetJuggler's opinion on the First Steps in Balance Kit:

The appeal of this kit lies in the complementary movements it offers: walking, jumping and pedalling. It lets you vary the games without piling on complex instructions. The three accessories can be used to organise separate workshops, with exercises suited to each child's ability. You do, however, need to take account of each child's abilities and the limits specific to the equipment: the stilts' 25 kg limit may in particular restrict their use with older children.

What type of practice is it for?

• Discovering balance and coordination in children.
• Motor-skill games for the whole family.
• Circus workshops and supervised school or after-school activities.
• Courses with several stations to vary movements and supports.

Usage precautions: accompany children while they discover the accessories. Respect the weight limits of each piece of equipment and the instructions in its manual.
