Each Test Station has an idea that shows how different things around us are and how they function differently. The Test Stations help to practise and try our senses; balance, concentration, coordination, vision, hearing, touch etc. At the same time they inspire our thinking.

RALLY MIRROR   -   "Practice to think backwards and forwards!"
