Abstract

An arrangement of modular elements comprising a balance beam having a narrow top rail and trapezoidal base with steep sides giving the illusion of shallowness adapted by connecting means to be used together with one or more cylindrical pedestals each having a well and a recessed disc seated in said well which serves to carry a message and acts as the target or destination of a child walking the rail along a roughened strip longitudinally extending the length thereof, the child sensing the strip by the sense of touch through the bottom of his feet.
