Wobbel Board - What is it and what can you do with it?

Most toys speak, but our toys listen. Open ended toys. Adults wonder what you’re supposed to do with them. The secret is that it’s an invitation. By surrounding your child with these inviting materials, you allow their own inner world to start growing. Imagining, combining, moving, playing together. They experience their own creative power. And that, exactly that, is a gift that lasts a lifetime.

The Wobbel. It works. It's an invitation to your child to get moving. But it's also so much more than a balancing board. The Wobbel is a swing, a bridge, a shop, a cabin, a stepping stone, a racetrack, a lounge chair, fitness equipment, a puppet, a small football goal, or at the back of an elephant? Resting, sitting, rocking, climbing or playing. Wobbeling is whatever your child thinks it is. And that may be something different tomorrow than it is today. Modern toys often play for your child. Batteries, levels, noises. But your child needs so much experience in real life in order to grow. Wobbel invites that growth. With sustainable products, and in a beautiful form. To enjoy today, or to pass on years later.

Which Wobbel Board should I choose - short version

1. Hard Flooring (Wood or Tiles) = choose a (coloured) Wobbel Original with wool felt or pressed felt 
2. Soft Flooring (Carpet or Rug) = choose a (coloured or bamboo) Wobbel Original without felt
3. Hard & Soft Flooring (Wood or Tiles AND Carpet or Rug) = choose a (coloured) Wobbel Original with wool felt or pressed felt 

The colour of your Wobbel Board or the colour of the felt is something that makes your Wobbel Board individual - it is a great design element.

Which Wobbel Board should I choose - long version

Wobbel Original 

Most of our customers choose a Wobbel Board with felt. Their house has areas with hard flooring (wood or tiles) and some areas with soft flooring (carpet or rug). Generally, the felt base will not only protect your Wobbel Board it will also protect your floors and dampen the sound. It's also soft and invites further play on the Wobbel. 

What is the difference between wool felt and pressed felt?
The Wobbel Pro with pressed felt is the twin sister of the Wobbel Original with wool felt. The only difference: The Wobbel Pro has no wool felt but recycled pressed felt on the bottom. The pressed felt mainly consists of recycled PET bottles and is suitable for intensive use. It is a vegan option and also recommended for everybody who has pets at home that shed a lot as its easier to clean.

More frequently asked questions:

1. Can my Wobbel Board still be used as a slide when I choose it with felt? 
Don't worry. It slides beautifully and in fact a little more gracefully than when sliding without felt.

2. For what ages is my Wobbel Board appropriate? 
The Wobbel is a toy that grows with the age of the child and is also very suitable for adults (it holds up to 200 kg easily). Toddlers play it differently than young teenagers and adults. Adults can do some very good exercises to do to help improve balance, strengthen the core and to remain flexible. A Wobbel Board is recommended from age 0 - 99.

3. Can I use my Wobbel Board outside? 
The Wobbel is designed for indoor use. Outdoor play is possible, but you should be aware that it will get scratches or dents more easily as the surfaces outside is more likely uneven - use it on grass but keep in mind that the felt can get dirty outside. When using outside we recommend to use it on a mat or rug.

4. Why does a Wobbel cost what it costs? 
Wobbel has not compromised on quality and only uses the best materials. Producing a Wobbel is a complex process that Wobbel sourced from the best wood bending factory in Europe. The Wobbel is made of pressed sustainable European beech wood, treated with water based paints and varnishes. The EKO wool felt is a natural product. Therefore it is such a beautiful product, it's very durable and can be passed on to other kids or sold second hand.
