Open ended play? What is it? Open Ended Play is a form of play without any rules or a real goal. In this way, children discover their own game in which he/she can let their imagination run wild. Imagination play a central role in this game.

Why open ended play?

Why we think Open Ended Play is so important? These toys has no limits for your little flamingo. Your child has the chance to play as he/she wants, not as an adult dictates.

Open Ended Play broadens the cognitive skills children learn to make choices and they feel more inspired. All the more reason to invest in 'open ended play' toys.

Wobbel, what?

Wobbel is a perfect example of such a toy. Adults see a curved piece of wood, children immediately see the possibilities of this cool balance board!

Children instinctively know what the intention is and continue to see and discover more and more possibilities.

The Wobbel is therefore what you come up with yourself; a balance board, a swing, a bridge, a shop, a hut, a step, a race track, a chair, a puppet show, a goal? Also super fun: wobbel gymnastics or wobbel yoga, yes also for the adults 😀!

A Wobbel can also be used in a completely multifunctional way: with the soft wobbeldeck including pillow you can also chill out, wonderfully chil!
