Balancing stones – Earthy tones(HANDMADE velvety-rough surface)

Balancing stones  is made of carefully grown and slowly dried linden wood, coated with safe, water-based paints. When you take the piece in your hand, you will see that the texture of natural wood shows though the paint. The unique and beautiful feature of all the toys is the  velvety-rough surface, perfect for stacking and balancing. This finish is acquired by the use of a non toxic water based colour stain, which penetrates into the wood leaving a rich matte finish thus preserving the natural qualities and natural markings of each unique piece of wood. This toy is carved and painted by hand in our manufacture in Ukraine.

Inspired by ancient Japanese game Tumi ishi it teaches balance and hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, observation, logic and inspires creativity. Set consists of 9 stones of different shapes and colours. Each stone is unique.

We can modify our Velvet line products to suit your needs or create new toys to suit your own design.
