360 Balance Board
FSC certified German beechwood
This board was created to help children develop a sense of balance,
stimulate their vestibular system, and gain a deep sense of awareness
of their body and body parts. It also stimulates child's mental
development and offers open-ended play opportunities for toddlers, children, teens, and even adults. It can hold up to 220kg/485lbs!
Two designs
Original vs Felt
The original 360 Balance Board has water-based lacquer and can be used both indoor and outdoor, perfect for rainy and sunny days at home or in a school environment.
The one with colored felt is designed to reduces noise, prevents scratches on the floor and on the 360 Balance Board.
The possibilities are endless—and truly up to them!
There's no manual for this toy,
watch the child’s imagination take over once their 360 Balance Board arrives! It becomes a seesaw, a balance board, a slide, a step stool, a boat, a resting place, a doll bed, a puppet stage, a tunnel and many more opportunities for them to explore.
Producing a 360 Balance Board is a complex process, it is made of pressed sustainable German beech wood, treated with waterbased paints and varnishes. Since the wood are natural, patterns of each 360 Balance Board is unique, black dots are occasionally found on the board and it's normal due to the nature of the wood.
360 Balance Board can very well be used by adults as well. To get fit, stretch your back, (as a seat aid) in yoga exercises, to train balance and just because it's fun. It's possible to do a wide range of exercises on the 360 Balance Board, from relatively light to extremely heavy.
Cleaning is best done by wiping with a damp cloth, possibly with a mild detergent. It is important to rub with a dry cloth. We have good experiences with vacuuming to clean the felt and possibly with mild ox-gall soap. Don't do this too wet, otherwise the adhesive layers and the felt could be damaged. The 360 Balance Board is a natural product and therefore ages pretty. Scratches and dents will definitely occur.
The 360 Balance Board is designed for indoor use. Outdoor play is possible for only The Original model, but because of that it will wear out sooner. Don't let is sit outside, because water and moisture will eventually effect the wood. Make sure to keep it dry.
Always let children play under adult supervision and let them get used to the 360 Balance Board. Beware of fingers and toes at the edges. Teach your child from the first time to never hold the edges. Provide at least two meters of free space (also to other children) around the 360 Balance Board and place it on a flat, horizontal surface. Don't use it on a Soft Touch Tatami Mat, it may flatten the sponge inside the mat. Make sure they don't wear socks or smooth shoes, otherwise they might slip and they could fall.
