Try to hang the monkeys on the branches but watch out, balance needs to be established and maintained on both sides! This toy helps to develop a child's mathematical skills by getting them to calculate the correct distance required in order to keep the monkeys balanced.
A darling heirloom balancing toy - really cute little monkeys look great just hanging around.

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

 |
NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 3 years of age.

Playful way to learn about physics
Posted 2/23/2012 by H. Warner

This is a great way to "teach" a child about balance, weight, and physics in a playful way. The toy is well designed and constructed, like most Plan Toys. My 21-month old enjoys taking the tree apart and has now figured out how to hang the monkeys. My 3-1/2-year old niece clearly got more out of the toy in terms of understanding the physics involved. However, this really is not a multiple player game like Jenga or Balancing cactus.

Product review of Balancing Monkeys

I bought this for my 2 year old daughter for Christmas, and she loves it. When she's not actually playing the balancing game, she loves to "talk" the monkeys to each other. I love it because when it's up on our bookshelf, it looks like it's part of the decor of her room. All around, one of my favorite toy purchases to date!

We bought this for our daughter (2.5 years old). She immediately enjoyed learning how to make the tree balance by adding monkeys. I'm sure in the future it will help in a lot of math concepts.

Lots of fun and teaches basic physical science

My 3 year old saw this toy in a Plan Toys catalog and really kept asking for it. She loves the They Might Be Giants song "One Dozen Monkeys". We got the toy and straight away I could see how it could be used to teach weight & distance on a scale. Even though she uses this mainly as a play object, I think it will help her conceptualize basic physical science ideas when it's time to learn those. The monkeys are balanced and evenly weighted. Very fun, nice to look at, encourages creative and learning play. Adults like to touch and play with this item as well when they see it out on a table.

My neice loved the monkeys. It was colorful and very durable. She had a little trouble at first hooking them together but caught on quickly. It was for her 2nd birthday.
