Three textured boards that turn a balance course into a sensory path
Three walkboards, 72.5 x 12.5 x 7cm, each with a different tactile surface in two-toned colours. They attach to Build N' Balance tops. Maximum user weight 100kg.
Read this before you order: these are boards, not a course. They attach to the Balance Tops - GJ2226 or GJ2227 - which are sold separately. If you do not already own tops, buy the complete Build N' Balance Course or a pair of tops with these.
What they add to a course you already have is texture. A plain plank asks a child to balance; a textured one asks them to balance while their feet are telling them something, which is a harder task and a better one. Barefoot is the intended way to use them.
Three different surfaces rather than three of the same means you can sequence them - smooth to rough, or rough in the middle where the child is least stable - so the same three boards build several different challenges.
Indoor and outdoor. Solid durable plastic, and Gonge specify they can be cleaned with disinfectant or sanitiser after play, which matters for something children walk on barefoot.
Where it sits on weight. Load limits across our balance range run from 60kg to 200kg and they are not interchangeable - the crocodile stones and the two Weplay seesaws stop at 60kg, the river stones at 80kg, the Gonge Build N' Balance system at 100kg, and the wooden rocking board at 200kg. Check the figure against the students who will actually stand on it, especially in upper primary.
