Monkey Balance Board

Monkey Balance Board

The Monkey Balance Board rocks from side to side but not front to back. I wrote the company and asked what the weight limit is for the board and they never responded, but you can see that the child on the box is fairly young. 

 

If you're working on balance, check out my post 47 Things to Do on a Balance Beam.

Try this:

• Balance with arms outstretched, balance with arms at side.
• Balance with eyes open, balance with eyes closed.
• Play games that will require shifting the weight so that the body needs to adjust to maintain stability (toss beanbags at targets, play catch, play ring toss).
• Hand the child items (beanbags, rings, circles, small balls) so that he has to reach out in different directions and still maintain balance.
