How much does a Wobbel balance board cost?

A Wobbel starts from € 99. You configure it exactly the way you want: colour, size, with or without felt. In our webshop you can see all the options and the price right away.

Which colours does the Wobbel come in?

Have a look in our webshop to see which colours are available. And because every piece of wood has its own natural grain, every wooden balance board is unique.

Can I configure a Wobbel completely to my own wishes?

Absolutely! You choose from 4 sizes, 8 standard wool felt colours and 1 cork option.

Material, floor & age6 questions ↓
From what age is a balance board suitable?

The Wobbel grows with your child, from baby to adult. The Wobbel without cork, with felt, is CE-certified from 0 months; the Wobbel with cork from 3 years. For the very youngest, the Starter is ideal. Also have a look at our user manual .

Which Wobbel suits my floor: felt or no felt?

Do you have a hard floor, such as laminate, wood, stone, tiles, linoleum or marmoleum? Then choose a Wobbel with felt. The felt protects your floor and the Wobbel, and also dampens the sound. Do you have carpet or a soft surface? Then a Wobbel without felt is perfectly fine. For vinyl floors we also recommend felt, just to be safe.

What is the difference between cork and wool felt?

Our EKO wool felt is made from the finest natural felt there is. It is hard-wearing, protects your floor and the Wobbel, and absorbs sound beautifully. It feels warm and soft and comes in 8 beautiful colours. 90% of our customers choose wool felt.

Our sustainable cork feels pleasant and is just a little firmer than felt. Cork, however, is less resistant to scratches and sharp objects, which is why a Wobbel with cork is only suitable from 3 years. Cork also protects the floor and the Wobbel and is a lovely vegan option.

Why is the Wobbel with cork only suitable from 3 years?

Small children love to pick at everything. If they were to pick off pieces of cork and put them in their mouth, there would be a risk of choking. For the very youngest, it is therefore better to choose a Wobbel with felt.

What is the Wobbel made of? Is it sustainable?

A Wobbel is made of FSC-certified European beech wood, treated with child-friendly lacquers, and finished with ecological wool felt or sustainable cork. Read all about it in our stories.

Is the Wobbel certified (CE)?

This product has been designed and manufactured in accordance with the requirements of DIRECTIVE 2009/48/EC on the safety of toys. The basic model and the Wobbel with felt are suitable from 0 months; the Wobbel with cork from 3 years. The CE testing was carried out by Certification Company.

Play, safety & use6 questions ↓
How does my child play safely on the Wobbel?

Safe wobbling is above all wobbling together. Join in the first few times and build it up gently. A few simple rules help: keep hands away from the edge, allow about 2 metres of free space all around, and always place the Wobbel on a flat, level surface. Bare feet or shoes with non-slip soles give the best grip. You will find all the tips in the user manual.

How many kilos can a balance board carry, and how many children can be on it?

The Wobbel is CE-certified for a maximum of 200 kg (Wobbel Starter: 100 kg). Children only play on/with the Wobbel under supervision; see also the user manual.

Is the Wobbel also for adults?

Absolutely. Adults (up to 200 kg) enjoy the Wobbel too: to get fit, stretch your back, for yoga or balance exercises, or simply because it is fun. For adults, the Large and XL are especially nice: roomy enough for long legs and big feet. But the smaller models also "hold" and move grown-ups easily.

My child (or I myself) has an illness or disability. Is the Wobbel still useful?

It is best to discuss this with your doctor or therapist, who can tell you exactly what is and is not possible in your situation. We receive many enthusiastic responses from physiotherapists who see possibilities for the Wobbel in their practice. So there is a good chance the Wobbel can mean something for your child (or yourself).

Can the Wobbel be used outdoors?

The Wobbel is made for indoor use. In summer you can play with it outside, but it will wear faster, so preferably place it on a rug on the grass. Never leave the Wobbel outside: water and moisture damage the lacquer, the wood, the felt and the cork. Tip: put a rug or artificial grass under the Wobbel to limit wear.

How big and heavy is the Wobbel?

Original: approx. 90 cm long, 30 cm wide, approx. 4.5 kg.
XL: approx. 115 cm long, 40 cm wide, approx. 6.5 kg.
Starter: approx. 70 cm long, 27.5 cm wide.

Ordering & service7 questions ↓
Where can I buy the Wobbel?

Directly from us via the webshop, where you configure it to your liking. Prefer to touch and feel one first? The Wobbel is also available at a number of shops.

What is the delivery time?

In the webshop you will see the exact delivery time for each product. If your Wobbel is in stock, we ship it within a few days, configured exactly as you want it, and you will usually have it at home within a week. Need it for a special day? Email us: [email protected].

Do you also ship the Wobbel abroad?

Absolutely! We ship the Wobbel to most European countries.

How do I clean the Wobbel (cleaning and maintenance)?

Wipe the Wobbel with a damp cloth (with a mild cleaning agent if needed) and then dry it with a dry cloth. Cork and felt are best cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or with gall soap. Not too wet: otherwise the glue may come loose or the cork may swell. No further maintenance is needed.

Can I replace the felt myself?

After years of play, your felt may well do with a refresh or a different colour. Good news: you can now easily do this yourself with our do-it-yourself felt kit. Using the included instructions, you apply fresh felt so your Wobbel looks as good as new and lasts for years to come. Sustainable and affordable. View the felt kit →

MOST ASKED

What can you do with a Wobbel?

Almost anything. A Wobbel is whatever your child makes of it, and that changes every day. From balancing to a boat, a den or a quiet spot.

The special thing: while your child plays, it also trains its balance, coordination and concentration, all by itself. One board, endless play, for young and old.

MOST ASKED

Is a Wobbel worth the investment?

Years of playGrows with your childMade in the EUHolds its value

You don't buy a Wobbel for one short play phase. Children can play with it in different ways for years: first to wobble and practise their balance, later as a bridge, slide, den, little shop, obstacle course or quiet spot. That way the Wobbel stays interesting, even as a child gets older.

Read more ↓

That is what buyers value: one sturdy product that doesn't disappear into the cupboard after a few weeks, but keeps inviting new kinds of play. The Wobbel encourages movement, imagination and independent play: without batteries, screens or complicated instructions.

A Wobbel is also not only made to be played with, but also to be seen. Thanks to its careful finish, high-quality materials and attention to colour and shape, it has a timeless design that fits beautifully into your interior. So you don't need to tidy it away after playing: it can simply stay in the room.

It is precisely that artisanal character that makes the Wobbel special. It is made in the EU with attention to material, safety, colour, shape and finish. You can see and feel that craftsmanship in the strong construction, the smooth finish and the calm look. The Wobbel is sturdy enough for daily use, yet refined enough to earn a beautiful place in your home.

And it invites. Children spontaneously start wobbling, climbing or building on it, while adults often want to feel how it moves. When visitors arrive, the Wobbel is therefore not just a toy lying in a corner, but an inviting part of the room: something everyone gets curious about and naturally wants to join in with.

Because a Wobbel lasts a long time, it grows with a family. Well maintained, it can pass from one child to the next and later be sold on or handed down. So you're not buying a toy for a few months, but a sustainable, beautifully made product with years of play, one that can inspire several children and holds its value.
