Tactile Walkboards - Set of 3

This set of three Tactile Walkboards is designed to be used with the Build N’ Balance range from Gonge, offering a dynamic and engaging balance experience. Each walkboard features a unique tactile surface in two-toned colours, providing sensory stimulation that enhances grip and foot awareness. These boards easily attach to the Balance Tops (GJ2226 or GJ2227, sold separately) and can be arranged in a straight line or configured into a unique path to create varied balance challenges. The adjustable height and interchangeable setup allow for continuous skill development, making them ideal for promoting coordination, stability, and movement confidence.

Made from solid, durable plastic, these walkboards are built to withstand both indoor and outdoor environments. The textured surface encourages children to explore different sensations while walking barefoot, helping to stimulate circulation and sensory integration. Wide enough to provide a comfortable balancing experience, these walkboards are an excellent addition to any movement-based learning setting.
