Purchase options and add-ons
- VIBRANT COLORS: Our stimulating range of products combines educational principles, beautiful design, excellent quality and the highest safety standards. GONGE River Stones stepping stones for kids can be used for anything from free play to specific therapy and structured training. Children will develop physical strength and motor skills - including weight transfer, familiarity with heights, physical coordination and agility - as well as sensorimotor abilities, such as awareness of posture, sense of touch and balance.
- UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES: Jumping or stepping from stone to stone develops a child's confidence in their ability to judge distances. The layout can be changed to make a pathway more or less challenging. When a child jumps or walks on GONGE River Stones, it is not just a matter of landing safely or keeping their balance. These experiences allow children to develop a general emotional robustness and confidence in their ability to master challenges. These physical activities make important contributions to a child's selfconfidence at an early age, which will be vital in later life.
- DURABLE & LONG-LASTING: Made from durable plastic with anti-slip rubber edges, which prevent them from slipping and protect indoor floor areas. GONGE products are made to offer hours of fun for countless children for many years, and encourages children to engage in games that combine physical and social abilities. Children compete, race, role play and perform using our products. Group play will help to teach them cooperation and coordination based on physical interaction. They will then learn by imitating the actions of others - probably our most basic way of learning.
- COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS: Body and mind cannot be regarded as separate. Basic cognitive functions, such as memory, concentration, problem solving and spatial orientation, are all vital for many of the physical activities inspired by GONGE. This can be anything from estimating the distance before a jump to developing new language skills when naming or sorting physical activities.
- STACK & STORE: The elements are designed to stack with one another for easy storage. Each set includes 6 stones in 6 colors: three measuring 14.96" x 14.56" x 3.35" and three measuring 10.23" x 10.23" x 1.77".

Product Description
GONGE River Stones stepping stones for kids are designed to improve coordination and balance. Jumping or stepping from stone to stone develops a child’s confidence in their ability to judge distances. The side of each triangular block varies in steepness and difficulty, and the layout can be changed to make a pathway more or less challenging. Each stone has a non-slip rubber rim, which also protects indoor surfaces. River Stones can be conveniently stacked for storage. Each set includes 6 stones in 6 colors: three measuring 14.96" x 14.56" x 3.35" and three measuring 10.23" x 10.23" x 1.77".
From the Manufacturer
Stepping stones to better coordination, balance, and fun. The Riverstones are inspired by stepping stones in a river with each side of the triangle varying in steepness and difficulty. The purpose is to jump from stone to stone without touching the floor - you can vary the position of the stones to create more challenging paths for advanced children. Each stone has rubber studs on the base which prevent them from slipping, and also protect indoor floor areas. Builds children’s confidence when jumping, judging distances, coordinating and balancing. Set of 6 riverstones. Can withstand weights up to 110lbs. Grades PreK-3. Ages 3-7.
From the manufacturer
Momentous Little Moments
At GONGE we make products that, from the very beginning of their lives, inspire and motivate children to be physically active, while helping them learn and develop motor skills through play - creating Momentous Little Moments.
We Love What We Do
Although GONGE is founded on a whole spectrum of profound neuro-pedagogical, sensory-motorial and educational principles, the benefits of using our products are experienced simply and often subconsciously.
As children concentrate on playing, whether following instruction or making up their own games, we help create Momentous Little Moments that contribute to their motor development. And how much pleasure it gives us at GONGE imagining what a long-term difference this will make for children.
Products That Are Out-Grown Rather Than Thrown Away
To us, sustainability is measured in hours of play per kilo of raw material. You often see GONGE products looking well-worn because they last so long and are handed down. They are made to a quality that is more than a match for years of rough treatment. Although, eventually, it will be time to read the recycling instructions we deliberately stamp into the products themselves.

Durability is a key factor for us when it comes to children's toys, and these stepping stones did not disappoint. They are made of sturdy, high-quality plastic that can withstand the rough and tumble play. Our little one has jumped, hopped, and balanced on these stones, and they've shown no signs of wear and tear after 6 months outside.
One of the benefits we've discovered is how these stepping stones encourage imaginative STEM play. The possibilities are limited only by your child's imagination.
These were purchased for a special needs 3 year old to use indoors for practice with balance and color identification. Our children and neighbor friends -aged 3 thru13- also use these. They have a variety of ways to play with them: scattering them, lining them up, placing them in a circle, and making an obstacle course with them. I feel they encourage both structured and imaginative play.
They have never scuffed or damaged any of our various flooring in any way.
We also use these outside in the same manner that we use them indoors. The kids have used these for games such as tag (the stones are safe bases) and as parts of obstacle courses they create. The stones have endured the heat of summer and occasional rainstorms without being damaged. I do not know how much these would fade with continued exposure to the elements. I would recommend that, if you want to mantain their vibrancy, they be stored out of the elements when not in use.
The picture I have included is to show the varying sizes of the stones. Please note that only the 6 stones with the arrows pointing at them are included with this purchase. The others that are shown here are Gonge Hilltops which can be purchased separately (which, by the way, I also recommend). I have never used the Riverstones independent of the Hilltops, nor have any of my children. I feel younger kids would be completely content with having only the Riverstones, but older children would probably not find as much enjoyment without having the addition of the larger hilltops.

Here’s why we love them:
-Textured plastic makes them easy to ‘grip’
-They have a little give to them making them very safe and easy on your feet.
-Durable- A 200 lbs person will pop it in a bit but it pops up right away.
-Good size. The small ones are about 12 inches at each length and the large ones about 20
-Rubber bottom- they don’t slide or ruin our hardwood.
Heres what we don’t like:
-We wish there were more options for expanding. The taller version are very expensive.
-it could be a tad more cushioned. It’s fun for adults and kids but when you jump 3 feet barefoot it can be less than great when you land on a corner.
Games we play with them:
-Spread them in a line to make an obstacle course.
-Spread them in a circle and have one person be the caller and the other the jumper.
Hopper: call a color they hop to. Repeat
Jumper: call two colors, left foot on first color right foot on second. Repeat
Dancer: call a color. Left foot to that color. Call a color. Right foot to that color. Repeat.

Update- we've had these for a month now and my boys use them almost everyday. I was so hesitant because of the price and the fact that they could just go outside and jump on rocks etc. but these have been wonderful for inside during the cold NY winter months.They are very durable and will last a long time. They are stackable so we just set them aside and the boys take them out when they want to use them. My youngest has learned his colors using these. Both boys balance is much better (my oldest is still struggling with torticollis and this is helping him with balance and focusing on keeping head straight) and I also make them talk while they are using them (say colors while on stone etc.) which is helping with thier speech. There is actually so much you can do with these that I didn't even think about before purchasing. We love playing musical stones. I am so glad I purchased these!!
