My First Scales

A first set of weighing scales for toddlers from twelve months, with six coloured shapes that each contain a different rattle sound. Children place shapes on the pans and watch the scales tip; the eyes close when the scales are off balance and open when they are level. Mirrored surfaces add reflection play. The scales introduce weight and balance through hands-on trial and error. At home it plays in the living room; in a nursery or classroom it is made for group play.
