Wobble Boards from Bunny Hopkins Garner Mass Praise

Some of the best moments in childhood are when kids are free to imagine with a prop – a cardboard box, dress up clothes, or Bunny Hopkins Wobble Boards. Purposefully minimal and inspired by the sheer joy of free open-ended play, Wobble Boards can be a fun balance board, teeter totter, pirate ship or a doll cradle (children can nestle on it as well). It’s an open-ended toy for kids that helps stimulate their creativity, promote physical play, and helps develop gross motor skills while they have fun. Flip it over to make it a slide, an obstacle course or magical rainbow fairy castle and spark creativity with so many more imaginative play scenarios! This activity toy with a simple curved design invites kids to balance and wobble which strengthens the core and muscles, improves reflexes and hones balancing skills which are critical for child development. Adults can get a peek into their child’s thinking and happily skip the cords, gadgets, and batteries.
