Bajo Mendelson Balancing Game
The Bajo Mendelson Balancing Game is a set of 15 wooden figures that makes a stimulating balancing game that will challenge whoever plays with them. A game of skill, balance and patience.
Children and adults alike will enjoy playing with these wooden people in a variety of ways - stack them up to make human pyramids and towers, upright or upside down; make patterns; use them as maths toys and counters, and as part of imaginative play in combination with wooden blocks and other toys from Babipur. We think that the Mendelson figures can be utilised as soldiers to protect a fairy castle, populate a train station in a toy train set, and tend wooden farm animals - the possibilities are endless!
Parents and educators interested in Montessori theory will love this versatile wooden toy that can be used for education and play in a variety of ways. Grasping, moving and positioning the 15 Mendelson figures will develop children's dexterity, and hand-eye coordination as well as encourage concentration, and creative and imaginative play - on their own or co-operatively with friends and siblings. A second set is recommended for children who are eager to build larger structures.
This set was designed by Wojciech Bajor, head designer at Bajo, and ethically made using solid, sustainably sourced wood in Poland.
These figures measure approx 7cm x 8cm.
Suitable from age 3.
Schematic play: This toy will appeal to children demonstrating the positioning schema - balancing, sorting and stacking toys and objects in particular order or place.
Sensory toy: hand-eye co-ordination, fine motor skills
Bajo's beautiful wooden toys have been designed and manufactured in Poland over the last 25 years. These top notch toys are wonderfully tactile and will inspire imaginative play and learning. The manufacturing process is green from start to finish - sustainable wood from beech, birch, sycamore, acacia, cherry, walnut and plum trees is sourced from carefully managed forests in Poland. Skilled crafters transform the wood into toys that are treated with eco, non-toxic paints and oils, and waste wood is turned into fuel briquettes. Bajo toys are great for open-ended play and will be treasured by children for years before being passed on to new generations to be enjoyed all over again.

Customer Reviews
We have had these for approx 5yrs and still love them. I’ve used them at work, at home and in coffee shops. Balancing is one game, but figuring out how many ways you can make them join is a whole thing. Really good fun that can be super easy for little hands or really complex for older ones.
Unwrapped to have a quick look - feels lovely, a good weight and the men balance well.
These have really been enjoyed by both children and adults in our house. They are great quality and have stood up to the test of time with many bashings down after towers have been built or being used as skittles!
We have had this set for a while now and it's always so much fun whenever we have it out. We love to stack them, line them up, use in mandalas, balance things on them, etc. A set which both adults and children enjoy.
This is great little set that's not only a good as a stacking or balancing challenge, they're beautiful used in mandalas used as loose parts. My eldest loves using them as little soldiers and characters. As with all Bajo pieces, they're great quality and will stand the test of time
