River Stones is one of the most popular pieces in the Gonge product family, a great balance-development tool.
Because of the changed height and distance relationships, the child has to keep their balance while lifting and stretching a leg.
Performing this more complex sequence of movements greatly develops concentration and balancing ability.
It can be played alone or together with others. Balancing becomes even more exciting if you make up a story to go with it: for example, you need to cross a swamp to escape an endless forest, or a volcano has erupted and stepping on the stones is the only way to avoid the lava. The set has five pieces, each with a different surface.
