BENEFITS: Creativity, fine motor skills, basic physics 

MATERIALS: Flat surface, DUPLO blocks 

STEPS: 

1. To start, each player places one DUPLO brick right at the edge of the table so that only part of it is on the table. 

2. Using your index finger to balance the first brick, connect another brick to it underneath, on the part that’s off the table. 

3. Now try adding another brick on top of the first so that your structure balances on the table. You might need to try putting the brick in a few different places to make it balance. 

4. Now keep adding bricks underneath – how many can you have off the table before it falls? 

5. The trick is to make sure you have a good base on the table to balance, but remember not to use all your bricks just on the base.
