A young boy with short blonde hair and wearing a green t-shirt is sitting at a wooden table, intently focused on a colorful wooden balance beam toy in front of him. The toy consists of a long, orange beam supported on a fulcrum, with various sized and colored blocks attached to either end. The boy appears to be experimenting with balancing the different blocks, likely exploring concepts of weight and balance. The scene is set in a cozy room with large windows overlooking a lush, green outdoor area, allowing natural light to flood in. A potted plant sits on the windowsill, adding a touch of nature to the indoor space.

Discovering Balance with a Wooden Beam Toy

I don’t know why I didn’t buy one of these balances years ago... All the kids are enjoying it. K said she should use it every morning to wake her brain up! Daddy may have even played a little last night. 2 2s and a 4 and a 5 balances to a 6 and 7. Early algebra thinking from the oldest to the youngest. So clever. Get one! . Now where to put it? As nice as it is for a table centerpiece and all.. .
