Rubber panels that show a child where to put their feet
A 55 x 24 x 15cm rocking seesaw with anti-slip rubber panels moulded into the standing surface. Assorted colours. Maximum load 60kg, ages 3+.
The rubber panels do two jobs at once, and the second one is the clever part. They stop a foot sliding, obviously. But they also mark where the feet go, which means a child who has never used a rocker before does not have to be told - they can see the stance. That is the difference between a piece of equipment a teacher has to supervise closely and one a child can pick up.
The motion is left-right walking rather than the front-back rock of a wooden board. That targets lateral coordination: the child locks their core and uses their arms to counterbalance, which is a whole-body workout disguised as messing about.
The rubber is also textured, so barefoot there is sensory input as well.
Colour is assorted and not selectable - WePlay supply what they have.
Safety: maximum load 60kg, ages 3 and over.
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.
