The Zonekiz Balance Board, a Montessori-inspired screen-free toy, is now available for £22.68 at Yimbly, after a price drop and an extra 10% discount. Parents have praised it as 'perfect' for children who 'struggle to sit still'.
What is the Zonekiz Balance Board?
Designed for children aged three to six, the board can be used in many ways, such as a pretend surfboard, a stepping stone, a bridge, or a seat. It aims to help children develop balance, core strength, and coordination while encouraging imaginative play.
The board is made from PE, measures 19.5cm high by 82cm long and 27.5cm wide, and features a smooth surface, rounded corners, and an anti-slip strip for grip.

What parents say
One Amazon buyer said: "My kids love this, since buying it a load of friends have also bought it. Great for kids that struggle to sit still. He has been using this everyday since we got it! He either just sits and sways on it or full on rocks. Worth every penny!"
Another added: "Great for my ADHD son to balance and fidget while we're at home. Durable too. He's nine and it's strong enough for him."
One shopper advised: "Really fun balance board. Great value. You have to be so careful with their fingers though otherwise it could cause injuries. So far my three-year-old loves it. It also works for open ended play... it's been a slide for hippos, a tunnel for cars, a bridge, etc..."
However, not all reviews were positive, with one buyer noting: "It's quite sturdy although quite narrow compared to the wooden wobble boards… Still great fun to have." Another parent said it helped her 6-year-old daughter 'regulate herself when she feels overwhelmed'.
