    PlanToys Balancing Cactus Game

    The PlanToys Balancing Cactus is a classic game of strategic thinking and hand-eye coordination, add the cactus pieces carefully without the whole plant falling! Part of the PlanToys Better Aging range, promoting the benefits of play between children and senior family members, and supporting physical, emotional, social and cognitive performance as we age. These toys have been designed as suitable for dementia and Alzheimer's patients.

Bigger than I expected. My just three-year-old worked out pretty quickly how to do it and has managed to get all the needles to stay in the cactus without it toppling! It’s fun to play as a game taking it in turns too. Lovely quality as per with Plan Toys! Slightly more expensive than their usual prices I feel but I’m sure there’s a reason for it!

Love it, looks good but not played with much

I love this. Its very well made. Its possible to place all the pieces on without it tipping up - it works best by setting it up to tip over on your opponent’s turn. It doesn’t get played with lots in our house yet but its very aesthetically pleasing too!

Inspiring my toddler

My daughter was given this as a present and I was concerned it would be too advanced for a 2 year old. My fears were unjust as she absolutely loves it! We play a family game with it, taking it in turns to balance each piece and this has helped her develop her concentration and fine motor skills. Lovely product.

Excellent

Really well made, we play it as an after dinner game and our 4 year old loves it. My only gripe is that I would like to purchase more pieces separately to make it more challenging. Maybe this could be an excuse to buy a mono? Who knows! As you’d expect from Plan Toys the quality is excellent. Well over a year of frequent play and not a mark on it anywhere.
