All balance boards from Stapelstein

There is no toy more appealing than the Stapelstein board : a lightweight balance board available in every colour of the rainbow that is inviting and has an incredible appeal to children from 1 to 99 years old.

While traditional toys often remain limited to a single function, this colorful balance board from Germany breaks all the rules. It was born from the realization that children (and, secretly, we adults too) spend far too much time sitting still. Designer Stephan Schenk wanted to bring movement back to the heart of everyday life, without it feeling like an obligation.

So much more than just a toy

The beauty of this specific children's balance board lies in its simplicity. It's made of a feather-light yet virtually indestructible material , free of plasticizers and other additives, just as we at In den Olifant have been selecting quality toys since 1970. Because the Stapelstein board has a slightly curved underside, it naturally challenges coordination. Place it on a flat floor, and it becomes a wobbly island . Stack it on the familiar Stapelstein board, and you can quickly create a challenging course or an ergonomic stool that moves along with you while drawing or crafting.

What truly resonates with us at In den Olifant is how this sustainable toy sparks the imagination. For a three-year-old, it's a ship on a turbulent sea, while a teenager uses it to practice balancing while listening to music. It's a wonderful example of open-ended play : toys without fixed instructions that evolve with every developmental stage. Whether you're looking for an original baby gift that will last for years or a way to stimulate a toddler's motor skills, this board fits into any interior and suits any age.
