Start monkeying around with Monkey Balance-a fun and interactive game for kids to learn simple addition and subtraction! Simply grab a card and put the correct quantity of Monkeys on one side of the scale, and the corresponding Number on the other side to balance the scale! Go bananas when you collect five cards! Monkey Balance is the perfect way to start early math learning. It helps foster and develop critical skills such as sorting, problem-solving, color and number recognition, counting, addition and subtraction, and fine motor skills. CAUTION: Monkey Balance contains small parts that should be used under adult supervision to avoid choking and suffocation.
Inspires creative exploration I used this monkey balance for number exploration with 5 to 7 year olds. The weighted numbers are perfect for the children to relate the number and amount. They also were finding sets inside numbers and seeing relationships (6 is 4 and 2). I love how the weighted numbers make it easy to extend to addition and subtraction. I only wish there were more monkeys and numbers so we could explore doubles and numbers beyond 19. As it is, I will need to get a few more sets so kids asking questions can…
wonderful game Bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter. She LOVES it! It is an awesome tool to learn math skills and have fun doing it!
Fun and useful for a range of skills! We bought this for my 3 year old who enjoys counting and putting the number of monkeys on the scale to balance with the weighted number. It works great! It’s also a nice introduction to math and weights. Eventually we plan to do the math (addition and subtraction) as shown on the cards provided. We also love to play “10 little monkeys” while singing the song with it (another good counting game).
