Just because you're playing indoors doesn't mean you can't be active.
While you might not want your twins running laps—in opposite directions—at ultra-fast toddler speed, it doesn't mean they can't work out their muscles, and their minds, while they play.
This fabulously fun sensory set allows you to bring the playground indoors—and build it however you see fit.
Simple versatility
The modular balance beam set by B. Toys lets kids get creative as they stay active.
This solid set comes with 10 brightly-colored balance beams and six sensory stepping stones that feature different tactile designs and contrasting colors that complement the overall palette.
It encourages your toddlers to engage in educational indoor active play, and it's designed to help improve physical balance and coordination.
One of the best things about this play set is that both of your twins can play with it at the same time without fighting over pieces.
Any parent or caregiver of multiple children understands just how big of a win this is.
They can work together to construct something or complete an imaginary mission.
Or they can each work on their own section separately, which works nicely if you give them their own roads that run in opposite directions, as you can see below.
And because the pieces fit together in many different ways, the possibilities are endless, and its simple, versatile design means it's so easy, a young kid can literally set it up all on their own (or with active input from their twin).
In a world where you never get to enjoy a hot cup of coffee once your multiples are born, this means that your toddlers will play actively by themselves (or together) while you a) enjoy a pippin' cup of caffeine for once, and b) watch in utter amazement at what their imaginations unleash.
Tactile fun in a snap
While parents might be worried about getting their daily steps in, toddlers will be focused on different steps altogether; the ones that connect to their balance beams.
The sturdy stepping stones are grippy, giving your little ones that extra bit of confidence to take that next step into the great unknown, and each one features fun designs that are visually appealing and interesting for little hands to explore.
From bumps, to spikes, to swirls, and lines, each pad has a different pattern and texture for a tremendous tactile experience.
The pieces can be matched up to the ends of the beams and connected with ease, promoting the development of motor skills as they snap them into place with a satisfying click while they play.
Perfect for imaginative play
Designed to spark creativity with your little ones, this play set can be used for collaborative or independent play.
In our house, it's been perfect for those moments when the floor has suddenly turned to lava and we need a quick path to safety.
The beams and stones have also been set up as a zig-zagging obstacle course, a sometimes-tricky-to-maneuveer street to a spooky mansion, a bridge over a lake of—yep, you guessed it—more lava, a jail for fire-breathing bad guys.
They've also been used to build a pretty fantastic car (in which I get to sit in the back while THEY drive ME around for once).
Just as the physical set-up of the pieces can be endless, so, too are the playful scenarios.
Speaking of which, if you really want to amp things up, this modular set is also compatible with the musical balance beam set.

Sensory Balance Beam Set for Kids by B. Toys
Encourages Coordination & Balance
Rated for kids ages three and up, this brightly-colored balance and build set encourages your toddlers to engage in educational indoor active play. Designed to help improve physical balance and coordination, this sensory play set comes with 10 sturdy beams and six stepping stones that feature different patterns and textures for toddlers to explore. The beams and sensory pads can be set up several different ways, promoting the development of motor skills as they connect the pieces while they play.
Space-saving design
As a parent, my favorite part of this play set is how little space it takes up.
With a space-saving design, the pieces take up less real estate, which is wonderful for any household that already has twins and, therefore, two of most things (and, as a result, very little leftover space to store things).
The pieces all stack together easily for effortless storage. The beams nest together, giving you one tall pile with a very minimal footprint, and the stepping stones fit on top of each other, so they take up very little space wherever you end up storing the stack.
Out of sight, out of mind…at least for you, as parents. Your kids, on the other hand, will keep thinking about the fun they had and may mosey over to where the set is stored away and start working on their next modular masterpiece.
Cue your second cup of coffee.
