PlaySurfer Balance Board
Children ages 4+ are building confidence in their ability to move their bodies. They are more physically competent, their muscles are stronger and they move with more control and coordination.
Balance boards, like the PlaySurfer Balance Board, take more skill and effort to maneuver effectively than a standard balance board. This makes it the perfect tool for children who are a little older to strengthen fundamental skills associated with gross motor development.
Spatial Development
Balance and Agility
Coordination
Core muscle strength, stability and posture
Strengthens legs, knees, hips and ankles
Attention and Focus
Improves proprioception and challenges the vestibular system
Made from ethically sourced, child-friendly materials and recyclable packaging.
Meets ASTM safety standards to ensure quality and safety over many years of play.
Designed with functionality in mind. This board is durable, stores easily and is made from high quality materials.
Popping Bubbles
Have your child stand on the PlaySurfer Balance Board while you blow bubbles toward him/her. Call out which hand to use to pop the bubbles. This helps to teach right vs. left.
Upper Body Movements
Have your child stand on the PlaySurfer Balance Board and throw a ball from one hand to the other OR move a ball around their body OR throw a ball to another person. This increases the challenge of balance and coordination, as well as incorporates upper extremity movements.
Squatting
Have your child stand on the PlaySurfer Balance Board. Place objects on the floor around them and have them squat down to retrieve the objects without falling off the board. This will help further strengthen the muscles in the legs and core.
