We have seen little board artists grow at least two centimeters with pride after their first jump. So let's go - we'll show you which wobble board or balance board is best suited for your child.

Balance Board - at what age is it allowed to board?

This is a very good question, to which we have a clear answer for you: There is no age limit for balance boards - neither up nor down. This is the same as for many other sports. If your child is interested in it, he or she can start.

Some children even learn to ski or swim before they can walk. So just try it out, and in the beginning you can help without any problems. In our experience, especially with children, the training is successful very quickly. The Balance Board for Kids is therefore certainly a worthwhile investment in the physical health of your child.

Which "balance board kids" could be particularly fun for your child and what you should consider when buying, we will now clarify:

Balance boards for kids

In principle, your kid can get on any standard wobble board or balance board, a special kids board version of the wobble board is really only necessary for the very young. So let's take a look at the different balance boards together. After all, these come in many different shapes, sizes and materials.

Round Balance Boards

Let's first check if round balance boards are good for your child. Round balance boards are available in both plastic and wood. But they have one thing in common: there is a hemisphere on the bottom of the board that provides the wobbling effect. With these wobble boards, balance must be maintained in all directions, which is more difficult for beginners at first.

Decisive factor here: the distance to the floor, that is, the thickness of the hemisphere, which is attached under the board. The greater this distance, the more challenging the training on the Balance Board for Kids will be. With a little practice, however, your child will surely master this challenge. If you still want to take it a little easier, then an elongated Balance Board for Kids might be more suitable for you and your child.

Here some example of our Shop’s assortment:

  • Balance Board

This stable wooden balance board combines movement exercise with fun! The difficulty level can be adjusted via the two wooden balls that can be screwed into different positions on the underside of the board. This challenges and trains body tension and balance in different ways! The round shape of the board provides plenty of standing space.

Elongated Balance Boards

With an elongated Balance Board for Kids the balance only has to be kept in one direction, like on a seesaw. When your child stands on it, it's a matter of keeping the balance between the left and right sides, or finding it again and again. The size of the Balance Board for Kids plays a role here. When standing hip-width apart on the Balance Board for Kids, it should be possible to place the feet at a small distance from the outer edges of the balance board.

The longer your child's legs are, the longer the Balance Board for Kids can be. But be careful: If you buy a short Balance Board for Kids, your child will probably get bored quickly. Because he will soon reach his limits on it. We can assure you from our many years of experience: children learn extremely quickly on balance boards!

That's why we from Montessori.Store would always recommend a balance board for kids that is perhaps a little challenging at the beginning - but also long and with increasing difficulty still fun.

Exercises with Balance boards

Our tip: Start with pure balance exercises on the "Balance Board Kids". Simply stand on the wobble board and balance. Maybe try to distract each other or make each other laugh, then the balancing will be a bit more difficult. Roll a little from the front to the back and back again - until you feel completely safe. Then comes the first easy exercise, for example a knee bend on the "Balance Board Kids".

Stand stably on the wobble board and make sure you find the balance point when lowering yourself. Practice this a few times until the wobble subsides and you notice your muscles working in a more controlled manner. If you still feel like another challenge, you can also stretch one leg forward... and poof! You have mastered your first official trick on the "Balance Board Kinder", which is called "Low Leg Rise" in technical jargon. Cool feeling, isn't it?
