The Original Wobbel Board Original Wool Felt Forest Baby Toddler Movement Toys 0m+ (Bulky Item)
Is it a balance board, a swing, a bridge, a shop, a hut, a step, a racetrack, a lounge seat, or an elephants back? It’s all of that and more!
Wobbel boards invite movement and play indoors; stimulate creativity and imagination; encourage strength, balance and poise; and have practical uses too.
Children instinctively know what the possibilities are and keep discovering new ways to play with the Wobbel.
ABOUT WOBBEL
Wobbel is beautiful and robust redesign of a traditional Steiner (Waldorf) balance board. Children of all ages love to rock, whether it be standing up, sitting or lying down. Rocking builds strength and a sense of balance and confidence; it engages both hemispheres of the brain, and it can also be calming and therapeutic.
Wobbel is for all ages and grows with our child – a young child can crawl into it and gently rock back and forth, while older children will build their gross motor skills. Wobbel is great for playing, interacting and getting fit together!
A Wobbel is more than that though! Children will use the Wobbel in all sorts of ways in imaginary play, as a bridge for animals and vehicles, a base for building, or even a roof or home for toys.
In practical ways around the home, the Wobbel will become a seat or a step.
FELTED BASE
The felted base is recommended if you intend to use your Wobbel on any surface other than carpet or a rug. The felt base will protect your floors and dampen the sound. It also adds a non-slippery and softer surface when the Wobbel is being used as a seat or step.

WOBBEL SAFETY
Always let children play under adult supervision. Help children to get used to the Wobbel and assist them as needed. Teach your child to never hold the edges, and to be aware of fingers and toes getting caught under the board.
Provide at least 2 meters of free space (also to other children) around the Wobbel and place on a flat, horizontal surface. Barefoot and non-slip shoes prevent slipping. Wobbel is designed for indoor play; it may be used outdoors but this will increase wear and tear to the board and the felt base.
