Glückskäfer Balance With Weights

Budding shopkeepers and mathematicians will love playing with this set of weighing scales. Use the five metal weights to learn about balance and relative weights and weigh out small toys, ingredients from the kitchen, pebbles from the beach or conkers and acorns from the woods. The scales are made from solid wood, smooth and tactile. This wooden toy can be enjoyed in imaginative games with a toy kitchen and when playing shop, as well as being used as an educational toy. This set of scales makes a wonderful learning aid for any playroom and will be a hit with home educators, schools and Montessori followers too.

Ethically hand-crafted from solid sustainable wood and treated with natural oils that allow the grain of the wood to show through.

The weighing scales measure 40cm x 30cm x 6cm.

Suitable from age 3. Warning: this toy is not suitable for children under 3.

Glückskäfer toys are beautifully crafted following Waldorf and Montessori philosophies that encourage children to discover creative play independently. Timeless toy designs made from natural materials and colour stains that allow the grain of the wood to show through increasing the feeling of connection to the natural world. Glückskäfer work with midwifes and child educators to help design their toys and have a strong focus on early child development. Materials are carefully chosen to be environmentally friendly and tactile. We love the beautiful colours and classic styles.
