Nora is a mover. Like most young toddlers, she's just on the move. Busy, busy, busy. A DIY Wooden Balance Beam is the answer I've been needing!
Finding ways to keep her satisfied can be difficult and expensive. She constantly needs to reach maximum effort right now. So, when I came across the idea of a DIY balance beam from one of my favorite bloggers Amy from Midwest Montessori, I knew we had to make one of our own!
This project is so simple! It's just some 2x4s and some screws. We bought two small boards. We cut into two 12 inches long and one 47 inch long pieces. After sanding down all the pieces to avoid splinters, the supports were screwed into place. And, that's it!
It's the perfect way to provide a cheap, gross motor challenge to Nora {and even Henry.}
Nora was a bit apprehensive at first, but she's coming around to it! Henry loved it right away and spent the whole morning testing it out.
Do you have any great gross motor DIYs in your home?
