The Hape Balance Boat is a balancing game and open-ended imaginative toy in one. Your child can stack the brightly-colored pieces in various ways and slide the lifesaver to balance the boat. The boat can also sail to imaginary shores to engage young children in creative play, stimulating their intelligence and building their vocabulary (boat, sailor, sail, sea, ocean, wind, balance, tip, overboard, etc.). Ideal for children age 2 – 5 years old.
