The balance board once again provides proof of the infinite creativity of children, particularly with the simplest objects.
This humble board is not only an ideal tool for developing children's balance, proprioception and movement coordination, but also an almost inexhaustible source of creativity.
Our children will use it indoors and outdoors, both to challenge their body and strengthen it in a fun way as well as to play with toy cars, make a slide, an access ramp to the armchairs in the house or at their bed, a rocking cradle for dolls and soft toys, or simply place it on the floor to rest and read... or even doze off!
The minimalism of the balance board offers a multitude of possibilities for free play for the happiness of our children.
As Socrates said: “The secret of happiness, you see, is found not in the search for more, but in developing one's capacity to enjoy less.”

What is sensorimotor development?
Sensorimotor development is the process by which children develop their senses and learn to perform, control and coordinate their movements.
The senses include the best known ones: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, but also balance (thanks to the vestibular system) and proprioception (position of the body in space, given by the somatosensory system).
These different senses work in concert with each other and with the motor system.
In terms of motor development, we can distinguish two main categories of motor skills:
- gross motor skills, which refers to movements of the whole body or the large limbs and muscles of the body (legs, arms, trunk, head),
- fine motor skills, which refers to the movements of smaller muscles and limbs (fingers, hands, wrists, feet, ankles, toes, lips, tongue).
What age groups is it suitable for?
The balance board can be used from the time your child can stand up alone until he or she is approximately 2 years old. It can be used to balance, swing, climb, serve as a slide or access ramp, as a cradle for dolls, as a bridge under which trains will pass and on which cars will roll (or vice versa!), etc.
