Plan Toys Balancing Monkeys

A wooden balancing toy that children love to experiment with.  Hook the monkeys into the branches on either side of the tree at varying points along branch to alter the effective weight and tip the balance. One monkey placed near the tree on one side has a different effect to one monkey placed further away from the tree on the other side.  It's like a little physics lesson for the whole family and it's great fun too. Helps develop early mathematical skills and problem solving... looks pretty snazzy too.

Plan Toys are the original eco toy maker leading the way in sustainable manufacturing and quality wooden toys to stimulate young children. Plan Toys use rubber wood from trees that no longer produce latex and would otherwise be burnt.  They also create some toys from 'eco Plan Wood' which is made from another waste product, the roots of the rubber trees.  This sustainable wood source is then kiln dried without the use of chemicals, glued together with Plan Toy's own e-zero formaldehyde free glue and dyed with water based dyes to create a wonderful selection of eco friendly wooden toys.
