Wooden Balance Beam À La Carte

Beams and Bases

Wooden Balance Beam À La Carte - Narrowing Beam is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.

Add on to an existing set or build your own from scratch!

These pieces can be made into an elaborate obstacle course, or made as simple as you'd like. The beams do not come with bases and they need support at both ends. For as many beams as you have, you'll need at least 1 more base (ex. 5 beams need 6 bases). Additional bases can also be stacked to create extra height for the beams!

Features

  • Intuitive design allows children to independently rearrange beams and bases.
  • Multiple Beams and Bases allow for different levels of challenges to grow with your family.
  • Modular design allows for reconfiguration for open-ended play.
  • Bases have non-slip grips attached to the bottom to prevent sliding

About the Beams

All of the beams serve a unique purpose and offer different kinds of sensory experiences and challenges. 

Beam Type Description
Plain Beam standard flat, straight beam. Helps develop balance without added challenges.
Beam with Rungs creates an obstacle and kids must find creative ways to cross it.
Beam with Waves carved in offers a fun and helpful texture on bare feet, and makes gripping easier.
Curved Beam demands that little balancers think and move more carefully along the unique shape.
Narrowing Beam requires thoughtful foot placement as the beam shrinks to half the width in the middle.
Beam with Additional Holes can have bases attached in the middle to create different paths and shapes.
Extra Long Beam A long, flat beam that is twice the length of the Plain Beam. creates a more difficult balance challenge!
Beam with Stepping Stones  

About the Bases

Bases are used to provide support at each end of a beam. For each beam being used, you'll need at least 1 more base (ex. 5 beams need 6 Bases). Some bases allow more than two beams to be attached allowing for more complex configurations.

Multiple bases can be stacked on top of one another to create extra height for the beam. We do not recommend stacking higher than one base with the long or curved beams or stacking higher than 3 bases with any other beam. 

Base Type Description
Single Base

The Single Base is used at the end of the beam when you do not intend to connect another. 

Can be stacked on any other base with one available dowel.
Double Base

The Double Base allows for a seamless connection between two beams. 

Can be stacked with any base with two available dowels.
Triangle Base

The Triangle Base allows for the connection of up to three beams. 

Can only be stacked on top of a Triangle Base.
Square Base

The Square Base allows for the connection of up to four beams. 

Can only be stacked on top of a Square Base.
Pentagon Base

The Pentagon Base allows for the connection of up to five beams. 

Can only be stacked on top of a Pentagon Base.

Age Recommendations

When it comes to understanding what age a resource is beneficial to a child, we wanted to make sure that we interviewed a professional to give evidence-based recommendations.

We relied on an Occupational Therapist with specialties in Sensory Integration and Processing for these age recommendations!

For more insight from an Occupational Therapist, come see our page about what skills each beam can develop.

Beam with Waves 2.5 years and up

Safe & Effective Use

  • We do not recommend stacking higher than one base with the long or curved beams or stacking higher than 3 bases with any other beam. 
  • We don't recommend using the beams without connecting them to bases at the same level on each end. The bases have non-slip grips attached to the bottom to prevent sliding, but the beams do not, and they may slide if used directly on the floor.
  • The plain, carved waves, extra holes, and runged beams can be flipped and used on either side, but the long and curved beams should only be used with the flat side facing up, as the additional supports on the bottom are an important safety feature. 
  • To clean, follow our Proper Use and Cleaning guide. 
  • The balance beams and bases are not intended for outdoor use.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with liquids to prevent water damage.

Love the versatility!

Bought as a Christmas gift for my 4 year old and 2 year old. Like all the sprout products we’ve received it’s very well designed. I went with the A La carte pieces because I knew I wanted a larger structure to last them through the years. Even with the large amount of beans and bases we have the whole set tucks easily under our couch when not in use.

I love how simple it is to set up, both children are learning quickly how to put the pieces together which makes it even better for independent play.

I do wish I had gotten a few more of the single bases to give the option of raising a few more beams. We always seem to be just one short of my grand vision 😅

I’m certain this will last through my children using it for years to come and then being passed on to another family or childcare setting.

A hit!

My 3.5 year old granddaughter really loves the balance beam. I noticed she loved balancing on the curb while holding my hand on our walk so I thought she would appreciate this and she did!! My little non walking grandson went right for it and tried to put his foot on it! The quality and look of the beam is so calming and beautiful and packs up so thoughtfully. I love having the ability to practice large motor skills in the house for my grandchildren!

We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your grandkids are enjoying our Balance Beam Set! We hope your grandchildren continue to have fun as they grow. Thank you for choosing Sprout!
