Why a Wobbel?

Why choose a Wobbelboard?

A Wobbelboard gets children of all ages moving, supports their development, and fits perfectly into any family. Discover why a Wobbelboard is a smart choice for active, creative, and healthy kids.

Effortless daily movement
With a Wobbelboard, kids stay active no matter the weather. Young children from 18 months can spend 5 to 10 minutes wobbling, balancing, or crawling over the board. Older kids from 4 years and up can enjoy 15 to 30 minutes of fun with games like surfing, rocking like a pirate ship, or simple yoga exercises. The World Health Organization recommends 60 minutes of daily movement for children aged 5 to 17. A Wobbelboard contributes to this in a playful way, helping kids move effortlessly for an average of 10 to 30 minutes a day.

More than just movement
Crafted from sustainable FSC-certified beechwood with optional eco-felt, the Wobbelboard offers so much more:

• Creative play: Its curved shape sparks imaginative play, transforming into a rocker, bridge, slide, or even a shop counter, igniting children’s creativity.
• Safe and durable: The sturdy material and optional felt layer ensure safety and longevity, even with intensive use by the whole family.
• For everyone in the family: From babies gently wobbling to parents using it for fitness or relaxation, the Wobbelboard suits all ages.
• Expandable: Add a deck or pillow for extra comfort or new play possibilities, like a cozy reading nook.
• Free yoga cards: With your purchase, you get access to free downloadable yoga cards, perfect for introducing kids to yoga in a fun way—great for family bonding!
• Stylish and compact: Its elegant, timeless design takes up little space and looks beautiful in any living room, blending seamlessly without looking like typical kids’ toys.

What science says
A Wobbelboard isn’t just fun—it’s great for kids’ development:

• Balance and coordination: A 2017 study in Scientific Reports shows that balance exercises improve motor skills and spatial cognition by stimulating the vestibular system.
• Stronger core muscles: Research from the Mayo Clinic indicates that balance boards strengthen core muscles, promoting better posture and stability.
• Improved focus: Dr. Ann-Kathrin Rogge from the University of Hamburg highlights that balance exercises enhance concentration, especially for children with attention challenges like ADHD.
• Happier mood: Movement on a Wobbelboard boosts endorphins, reducing stress and enhancing kids’ well-being.

How to use a Wobbelboard
The possibilities are endless, and the Wobbelboard fits into any moment of the day:

• Let kids choose: Often, you won’t know exactly what they’re doing, but they’re busy—and that’s wonderful! A Wobbelboard is open-ended, like a stick in the forest that can be anything from a magic wand to a fishing rod. It’s whatever your child imagines it to be.
  If you want to encourage them, try these ideas:
• Imaginative play: Use it as a ship or slide for 15 to 20 minutes of fun.
• Quiet activities: Let kids wobble for 10 to 15 minutes while reading a book.
• Active play: Encourage squats or planks for 10 to 20 minutes of movement, using the fun yoga cards together or creating an obstacle course—over, under, and more!
• Short play sessions: Let kids wobble for 5 to 10 minutes or have a balance contest. Try learning times tables or spelling words while moving—kids will discover how much easier and more fun learning is in motion (try it yourself, you’ll be amazed!).
