Preschool children need regular and varied exercise in their daily routine. Activities such as running, swinging, balancing and climbing strengthen muscles and promote balance and coordination. Balancing on a balance board requires concentration and the constant adjustment of one's own movements in order to stay balanced. Such challenges are suitable for children as young as 3 years old. They have a positive effect on cognitive development by promoting attention and spatial orientation. When choosing a balance board, it is important to assess the child's motor skills in order to avoid excessive demands. It is also important to choose a balance board that is suitable for the child's size and age. For a secure footing, balancing barefoot on the board is recommended. A mat under the board softens falls and prevents scratches on the wooden floor. Safety is paramount when balancing, requiring constant supervision of children. The many possible uses of a balance board, such as a car racing track, deck chair, bridge or slide, enrich children's playful activities and encourage creativity.
