How it helps?

Builds balance, coordination, and problem-solving, while helping children understand size, space, and how objects fit together.

Stack cushions or pillows to make towers and practice balance.

Optional variations:

1. Stack cushions by size (largest at the bottom, smallest on top).

2. Make two or more small towers and compare heights.

3. Challenge older children (3-5 years) to make the tallest tower without it falling.
