A Brief History of Wooden Balance Boards

Wooden balance boards have been used for hundreds of years as tools for adventurous, imaginative play and exercise. They were originally developed as part of the Waldorf and Montessori educational philosophies, which emphasize hands-on, experiential learning through non-traditional methods. These boards were designed to encourage open-ended play and stimulate creativity and imagination in children.

The Benefits of Wooden Balance Boards

1. Balance and Coordination: Using a balance board helps children develop balance, coordination, and spatial awareness as they shift their weight and control their movements.
2. Strength and Stability: Balancing on a board engages core muscles, legs, and feet, helping to improve strength and stability.
3. Creativity and Imagination: Wooden balance boards are open-ended toys that can be used in a variety of ways, encouraging creative play and imaginative exploration.
4. Sensory Stimulation: The tactile nature of wooden balance boards provides sensory stimulation, helping children develop a greater awareness of their bodies and the environment around them.
