Construction and balancing game “Ze Stakaboom” (Djeco)

🧱 14 wooden blocks that have to be stacked at just the right angle – otherwise the whole structure comes down. “Ze Stakaboom” is a Djeco construction and balancing game in which the child recreates the shape shown on a card and discovers for themselves why some structures stand and others do not.

✨ What does this game develop?

• The concept of balance and weight – abstract physics, experienced with the hands;
• Spatial thinking – a two-dimensional card has to become a three-dimensional structure;
• Planning – you have to work out which block to place first;
• Precision of movement – the last block punishes any rushing.

🎲 How to play at home

Pick a challenge card and copy the shape. The cards are double-sided and the difficulty comes in three levels, so even a three-year-old can start. Once all the shapes have been mastered, invite your child to invent their own structure and draw it as a new “card” for the family.

🧑‍🏫 Tips for specialists

A valuable aid for visual-spatial perception and sequence planning tasks. The child has to analyse the model, break it down into steps and carry them out in the right order – which exercises executive function. We recommend naming the actions out loud (“I’m putting a flat one down, then an upright one”) – that strengthens verbal control of movement too.
