Read the verdict and alternatives

Our take

A movement path the child can help arrange

Eight beams and six stones turn a patch of floor into a route that can change between sessions. The musical stone adds three games, but the modular path is the main reason to choose the set. It needs substantially more clear space than a handheld movement toy.

Best fit
Rearranging and following a route, with room to leave it out and an adult overseeing the layout.
Before buying
Needs a clear, level floor and adult oversight. Musical stone requires 4 AA batteries.

A closer look at the trade-offs

The trade-off

Teeter Popper keeps rocking in one place; the foam pogo jumper focuses on repeated hops. Choose Balance & Groove for rearranging and following a route, with room to leave it out and an adult overseeing the layout.

Living with it & the first play session

After the wrapping comes off

Yes. The beams and stepping stones form different paths. Begin with a simple layout and supervise before adding a more complicated route.
