The Brand: Djeco is a Paris-based family business that started out quite small. Véronique Michel-Dalès founded the brand in the 1950’s and passed it on to her son, Frédéric, who is still running it today. Each product can take up to a year to travel from the design board to the shelves with rigorous quality testing. Using talented French illustrators, Djeco creates interesting and magical games and toys that rustle up imagination and creativity.

Description: We have long loved Djeco for their quality and inventiveness. There is no other line that makes such consistently well-designed and well-loved toys and games. Ze Balancéo is a wonderful stacking, balancing game and when it’s not being used in that way, the pieces can be added to the offerings of other wooden blocks and toys that are around at any given time. We love that this can be a 1-person game or can be played with friends.

Details: game comes with 1 base, 1 dice, 20 wooden blocks, 3+ years old, roughly 9 x 8 inches all together

A Note From Erika: This is a fun balance game and it’s good looking! Parents won’t mind if it is left out, as things often are with kids.
