  These stone-size shapes by Fort Standard are also available in white.

Balance is one of those fundamental life skills that every kid should learn. Design team Gregory Buntain and Ian Collings of Fort Standard have taken the lesson to heart with these quirky Balancing Blocks. Each oak wood piece has ten facets so you can create daring timber towers, and come either white or a kaleidoscope of colours, packaged in a handy drawstring bag. So simple and so much fun.
