A Montessori method
Did you know that the Wobble Board is a Montessori toy? This toy can be a teeter-totter, a bridge, a slide, a rocker, a chair, a nest, a fort, a road, and so much more. Toys that are open to imagination foster curiosity, ideas, exploration, movement, and motor skills. The number of ways that the Wobble Board can be played with is only limited by your child's creativity and imagination.
Developing the sense of balance
The Wobble Board is perfect for developing gross motor skills through helping children improve their sense of balance. When your child stands on the board, he/she will be guided by their natural instinct to shift their body weight appropriately in response to an imbalance. At the beginning, they may wobble from left to right in search of their balance point. After some time, they will have better awareness of their bodies and learn how to control it. They will find it increasingly easy to keep their bodies centered. Mastering a sense of balance in the early years can equip your child with the skill to quickly pick up and excel in other activities such as riding a bicycle, playing sports. It even helps your child execute their daily tasks more smoothly.
Other benefits
With the time spent training their balance on a Wobble Board, it can help children improve posture and develop their core strength. It also helps to train children's ability to focus on their tasks to achieve a desired outcome.
Things to note during use
- Ensure your child uses the Wobble Board under adult supervision at all times.
- Always use the Wobble Board on a flat and level surface.
- Never wear socks or shoes with smooth soles when using the Wobble Board. Bare feet or shoes with rough soles will help prevent accidents.

- It is recommended to use a mat, carpet or rug underneath the balance board to protect the Wobble Board, your flooring and your ears.
