6. Balancing Building Blocks

September 6, 2025

Age: Works at all ages. Younger children use fewer bricks. KUL.TING's blocks have functions that grow with age and maturity in the child.

Balancing blocks is an exercise to develop the child's understanding of physics and math.

By building towers with blocks, you can explore concepts such as balance, equilibrium, center of gravity.
The child develops its problem-solving skills as it tries to understand why the tower, the bridge, the house collapses.
Through an exploratory play with blocks, you can help the child experience and understand concepts such as leverage, balance scales, counterweights, friction...
In play and in conversation, the child will understand more of measurement, geometry and symmetry. It gives the child a good foundation for further understanding and learning in mathematics.

Balancing with blocks is an exercise for seeing sculpture.

Gross and fine motor skills are trained by lifting, holding and placing blocks.
The child trains to master his body, using enough strength to put the block correctly.
The child trains eye-hand coordination.

Balancing blocks is an exercise where the child develops self-esteem, qualities and practices social interaction.

The ability to fail, repeat, and try again is trained. The child learns that you can overcome challenges by being patient.
Building and balancing encourages creative thinking, flexibility and daring to experiment.
By choosing the right level of difficulty (the number of blocks), we give the child the opportunity to strengthen their self-esteem and feel satisfied with having completed a challenge.
When several children play together, you get to practice turn-taking, sharing and cooperating.
Balancing with blocks requires focus and attention to detail, which means that the child's ability to concentrate increases.
The child's ability to plan their work develops and the child gets to challenge themselves and test their own limits. How high can I build without the tower collapsing? How weird figure can I build?
