Kinderfeets - Bamboo Kinderboard by Kinderfeets TOY OF THE YEAR 2017Kinderfeets Kinderboards were voted Activity and Outdoor Toy of the Year in the annual Toy & Hobby Retailer Industry awards.100% BAMBOO. NO HIDDEN VENEER!Bamboo is a stunning addition to this award winning product. It's 100% bamboo with absolutely no hidden veneer. Dutch children have grown up with these fascinating boards for generations. More recently this multi-use toy was revived for use in Waldorf (Steiner) early childhood classrooms. A Kinderboard helps children develop a sense of balance, stimulate their vestibular system, and gain a deeper awareness of their body and body parts. You can rock it. Balance on it. Push it. Spin it. Flip it and slide. Sit on it or use it like a foot stool. These sturdy beech plywood boards keep energetic children engaged in creative play for hours.Kinderboards are Dutch designed and recreate the same experience as the original concept. They're excellent for stimulating child development - both physical and mental - and offer open-ended play opportunities for toddlers, children, teens, and even adults. You can use a Kinderboard both indoors and out, perfect for rainy and sunny days at home or in a school environment.Watch a child's imagination take over when their Kinderboard arrives. It becomes a seesaw, a balance board, a slide, a step stool, a boat, a resting place, a doll bed, a puppet stage, a tunnel and many more opportunities for them to explore. The possibilities are endless and truly up to them!WHY BAMBOO?Bamboo is stronger than steel and heartier than most hardwood, making it a versatile and valuable building material. Bamboo is also eco-friendly in many ways. It produces more oxygen and absorbs more carbon dioxide than trees. While hard wood takes 30-50 years to mature, bamboo takes between 3-5 years and requires no pesticides or chemicals to encourage the maturation process.Crafted from skilfully engineered and sustainably sourced bamboo plywood that's finished with a protective lacquer stain. Made in an ethically run factory that Kinderfeets (and Artiwood) inspect and evaluate regularly. Tested and certified to European and Australian standards. Supports up to 220 kgs.
