Review: ThinkFun has created a game that kids enjoy while secretly learning important educational skills - Once again, ThinkFun has created a game that kids enjoy while secretly learning important educational skills. Balance Beans a single-player game that introduces young learners to elementary algebra, physics, and logic in a fun, hands-on format. First, assemble the see-saw by placing the balance tray on the base. The balance tray contains 7 rows of 3 raised circles that fit into the feet of the beans. Next, choose one of 40 challenge cards ranging from easy to difficult. The front of the card indicates where to place particular 'stationary' red beans on the balance tray. From there, player(s) attempt to strategically place indicated 'moveable' orange, yellow & blue beans on the tray without it teetering. What players don't realize is that when they balance the seesaw, they are actually balancing an equation! If the challenge is too difficult, the solution is on back--although some challenges will have multiple solutions. Through continual play and as the challenge cards get harder, players begin to rely less on trial and error and more on math and reasoning skills. The game can be enjoyed by one player or multiple players that want to work together on the solution. The ages for this game are listed for 5 and up, however children do not have to understand the math behind the game to play. Through simple hands-on experimentation, young players discover how beans placed farther from the center of the balance tray will lower the board more than an equal number of beans placed closer to the center. My 4 and 5 year old sons quickly grasped the concept and eagerly progressed through the challenge cards. Sometimes they opt to create and solving their own puzzles. The first level of puzzle cards can easily be completed through play and experimentation. I am a Pre-K educator and am excited to introduce this game into our independent STEM center and see my students strategize the bean placement and problem solve. As for the contents, the pieces are well made and will stand up to a lot of use. The beans all have cute expressions printed on their 'faces'. The cards are pliable, but laminated with a thin material to protect from minimal spills. I will likely laminate them with a thicker sheet for durability and attach them to a binder clip to avoid losing cards since I will use this game in class. The game comes with a mesh bag to store the balance tray, base, beans, cards, and instructions. Overall, Balance Beans is a great game to introduce a little math into your child's playtime!

Review: Great quality, easy clean up, portable and smart little game! - Ordered this for my grandsons, they are 2 and 4 years old. I know they are slightly under the recommended age, but like all grandmothers, I think mine are smarter than average! I was right, they were old enough to do the "easy" cards on this. I like that the game really grows with them too, more difficult cards they can advance to... or that their mother and I can play with :) They had so much fun figuring out how to place the pieces, I was surprised at how much it really got their brain going, you could see the little wheels spinning. The quality is great on this product, sturdy enough not to snap in the hands of a 2 year old, but light enough to be easily carried (in the cool bag that came with it) to my house, or school or wherever they want to. The directions were well written, the cards outline the goal and have the answers on the back. The colors are bright and happy, the faces on the little beans are adorable and welcoming to children. Very very happy with this product! Love that a company is making thinking cool again! Oh!! I almost forgot! I don't think I have ever seen the boys as excited to clean something up as they were this. I am not sure what it was about that little bag, but they thought it was super cool and both wanted to be the one to clean up first. Bonus! Full Disclosure: I have either received this product for free or at a discounted rate in exchange for my HONEST and unbiased review. I will not recommend products that I do not truly believe are worthy, nor will I copy and paste product info to increase my "word count", we all know lots of people use lots of words and don't say a damn thing... My integrity has always been of the utmost importance to me. If this review is helpful to you, please let me know by clicking on "helpful."

He responds well to the challenge format, where he must solve the problems presented on the challenge cards. Before I gave him the challenge cards, we experimented with the weights, and he could see how moving the "beans" further in or out on the platform affected the weight. We also used the term, "balance the equation" which will help higher math feel more familiar when he gets to it in school years from now. This is a wonderful toy because it is fun, develops problem-solving skills and abstract reasoning. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/31088473-thinkfun-balance-beans-math-game-engaging-pre-algebra-puzzle-kids](https://www.desertcart.id/products/31088473-thinkfun-balance-beans-math-game-engaging-pre-algebra-puzzle-kids) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
