"A creative game for generations"
"Stacking stones" is probably one of humanity's oldest games. The idea of creatively arranging, stacking, and balancing natural objects is very simple and timeless. It continues to inspire children and adults of all cultures to this day.
BALLANCE is the first stacking game that combines the round shape of spheres and hemispheres.
No magnets - no tricks - just gravity and you!
Discover gravity
BALLANCE is a creative educative game for children ages 6+, adults and therapists. It trains patience, concentration, and spatial awareness in a playful way.
Each ball is held in place solely by gravity - there are no magnets or other tricks. So place each ball carefully and defy gravity!
Instructions
Start on a flat surface, e.g. a table or windowsill. The included lid is especially useful for leveling out uneven ground, like grass or sand.
No magnets - no tricks - just gravity and you!
Now, stack the balls on top of each other so that gravity holds them in place. If the tower becomes too wobbly, gently rotate the balls to maintain balance. Use your dexterity and discover new shapes every time.
Balance & Zen philosophy
Stacking stones is an ancient, meditative Zen practice. It's even considered a metaphor for the path to enlightenment. Each stone represents a stage on the spiritual journey. As you focus on balance and stability while stacking the stones, your thoughts slow down. Your breathing deepens. And your mind becomes calm and clear.
BALLANCE helps you reduce stress, focus your mind and organize your thoughts.
Kids & Family
BALLANCE is the calming alternative to typical overstimulating toys. No bright colors, no technology, no sensory overload. This stacking game invites children and adults to engage in mindful, quiet play and also strengthens creativity, fine motor skills and patience.
In everyday kindergarten life BALLANCE is particularly suitable for preschoolers, helping them to consciously "wind down" after hectic activities. Stacking the balls helps to focus attention, strengthen concentration and playfully find relaxation - the ideal balance between activity and rest.
Workshops & Mindfulness
BALLANCE is ideally suited as an interactive game and icebreaker in team-building seminars, coaching sessions and mindfulness workshops. It connects, challenges and creates a calm, creative space where participants can practice focus, cooperation and trust together.
Fine motor skills & muscle control
BALLANCE is more than just a creative stacking game - it's also an effective therapeutic tool. The unique shape of the wooden balls transforms the delicate placement into an exercise in patience, concentration, and balance.
In occupational therapy, rehabilitation, and geriatrics BALLANCE promotes muscle control, hand-eye coordination and tactile perception. People with motor impairments and seniors especially benefit from the calm, repetitive gameplay.
BALLANCE is also used in child therapy and psychology: as a concentration game, it supports the development of patience, perseverance, and self-control. Mindful stacking has a particularly calming effect on children with ADHD, helping them to focus their attention. Small successes while stacking boost self-confidence and motivate children to further develop their skills.
Game tips & care
If the balls become somewhat smooth and slippery over time, you can briefly moisten the flattened areas with a little water (e.g. a kitchen towel). This will raise the wood fibers again, making the balls easier to grip. You can repeat this process as needed.
A little natural wood oil (e.g. linseed oil) can protect the wood from dirt and moisture. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth afterward and allow everything to dry thoroughly. Keep in mind that the wood may darken depending on the type of oil used.
