Surfer | Balance Board

A wooden balance board is ideal for children ages 12 months and up. Our kids balance board has a weight limit of 485 pounds, meaning children can enjoy it for many years. Even adults may enjoy a balance board.

A wooden balance board can be used in many ways, such as standing up, sitting, or for pretend play. To use the balance board standing up, put one foot on either end of the board and rock from side to side. Put the balance board upside down on the ground to walk over it like a bridge.

Children can use a balance board as part of an obstacle course. Or, use it during play with toy cars or stuffed animals.

Yes, balance boards are good for kids because they encourage active play and creativity. A kids balance board can spark hours of imaginative play while also helping children build muscles and coordination. Children crave movement, including spinning and rocking because they’re developing important systems in the body that manage balance and spatial awareness. A balance board is the perfect, safe outlet for these activities, supporting development.

Yes, balance boards are good for kids with ADHD. Movements like spinning and rocking stimulate the vestibular system, which is the system that manages balance. Stimulating this system can improve attention and planning skills, as well as relieve stress and calm anxiety. Giving children with ADHD outlets for rocking at home can improve behavior and mood.

A wobble board is a board with a half sphere on the bottom that can move in any direction while a balance board typically allows more of a back and forth movement. A balance board is typically a longer, curved board, or a board with a cylinder attached to the bottom.

Use a damp, clean cloth to wipe the surfaces. Slight maintenance may be required over time.

Don’t leave or store your Piccalio products outside. They are protected by a lacquer coating but are made of wood and are therefore susceptible to damage caused by exposure to rain and wet conditions. We recommend keeping our wood products in dry, non-humid environments, and kept away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat.

Playing should be fun. But also safe. Piccalio toys and furniture all have a children’s product certificate. They’re non-toxic, FSC certified wood, and compliant with ASTM, Prop65, and the FDA too. We never use harmful chemicals or substances in the making or manufacturing of our products.

The Surfer Balance Board is made from FSC Certified (sustainably harvested) European Beech plywood. We use a 0-VOC water-based finish that is formaldehyde and lead free.
