A spiral labyrinth, three balls, and rotation in every direction
A balance board with a snail-shell labyrinth moulded into the top. Includes 3 balls, 3.7cm each. Ages 3 and over.
This is the step up from the straight-track seesaw. A straight run needs a side-to-side rock; a spiral needs the child to tilt the board in a continuously changing direction, adjusting as the ball moves inward. That is a genuinely different skill - it is rotation control, not just balance.
It also has a built-in progression that costs nothing. The outer loop is easy and the centre is hard, so a child measures their own improvement by how far in they get. No adult has to set a level.
Three balls, not one. Two children can race, or one child can run three at once and discover that the board only tilts one way at a time - which is a better lesson in problem solving than most things you can buy for $82.
WePlay do not publish a weight limit for this board. Their two seesaws are both 60kg; we would treat this the same until they confirm, and we have asked.
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.
