It is almost that time of year where we get ready to send our school-aged children off for another year of school. It is a bittersweet moment for me this year as I prepare for my third child and only daughter, Olivia, to start Kindergarten.

The balance board started life as a Waldorf design and as such can be used in so many creative and versatile ways, really only limited by your child's imagination.
It can be used as a seat, bridge, to practice yoga on, as a cubby, shop, bed, race track, or to balance on!
With the help of Dutch companies, Wobbel and Kinderfeet, balance boards are now no longer just found in Waldorf or Steiner kindergartens or schools, they have become more readily available across the globe.
