			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img border="0" vspace="10" align="left" width="250" src="http://www.blisstree.com/playlibrary/files/2008/05/kids-balance-beam-toy.jpg" hspace="10" height="250" />I&#8217;ve been thinking about buying a balance beam toy for my kids to use indoors on rainy days.  I think it would be a great way to work on improving balance when we can&#8217;t get to the playground, and I think the kids would enjoy it.  Most of the balance beams I have found weren&#8217;t very exciting until I stumbled across the <a target="_blank" href="http://leapsandbounds.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=534676&amp;parentCategoryId=117206&amp;categoryId=117208">Configurable Balance Beam</a> on LeapsandBounds.com today.</p>
<p>The configurable balance beam includes 27 straight and curved pieces that can be put together in a variety of ways, so kids aren&#8217;t walking across the same straight line constantly as they would with traditional balance beam toys.  I like that the pieces are different colors which can be used to create different games.  I also like that the Configurable Balance Beam is large and can hold up to 220 lbs.  It&#8217;s meant for ages 3 and up.</p>
<p>With all that said, I don&#8217;t like the price of the Configurable Balance Beam.  At $119.95, I&#8217;m not sure the toy would bring a value to justify that price tag.  I should note that the pieces are made of polyethylene and the manufacturer makes playground equipment, so I have to assume the quality is good, but that&#8217;s still a lot of money.  At around $50 or less, I&#8217;d buy this product right now, but at $119.95, I don&#8217;t think so.  The shipping is high too at $29.15 for ground delivery.</p>
<p>What do you think?  Worth it or not?</p>
