Wooden Scales Set

Introduce early maths and scientific thinking through hands-on exploration with this classic Wooden Scales Set, ideal for classrooms, early learning centres, and home learning spaces. Crafted from sturdy wood, this engaging balance scale invites children to experiment with weight, comparison, and cause-and-effect through open-ended play.

Children can place objects on each side of the scale to observe movement, balance, and imbalance, helping them understand why the scale tips and how weight differs between items. Through repeated exploration, learners begin to classify objects as heavy or light, building foundational STEM concepts regardless of an object’s size.
