My son had no issues with the balancing challenge and quickly adapted
Also, my 10 year old niece really enjoyed playing with this toy.
Note: This toy is NOT recommended for children ages 0-3. However, my son has an older sister and is a little bit advanced for his age. Also, my son is only allowed to play with this toy under the supervision of me or my wife.
Keep in mind that this is an educational balancing/stability toy. So yes, this toy is stable when built like a cactus.
In all, this is a great educational toy for teaching problem solving.
