The making of a Kinderboard
Kinderboards look deceptively simple. Developed for use in Waldorf early childhood classrooms they re a simple but rather clever concept for developing a child s balance, stimulating their vestibular system and helping them gain a deeper awareness of their body and body parts. However, as is often the case with many of the world s most enduring toys things are never quite what they seem.
Each board is made using Beech plywood; a heavier, denser timber than other cheaper options. This ensures it s both strong and durable and thus will endure plenty of energetic play. The timber used is also FSC certified. This means it s often more expensive than untraceable non-sustainability harvested alternatives.
Creating their elegant shape is the first step, not all planks survive the shaping process and must be discarded. Raw planks that made through the shaping process are then sanded and shaped by hand to ensure a smooth finish. This includes the addition of each board s deceptively simple corner curves. Adding these finishing touches is a surprisingly time-consuming task.
A final quality review identifies and removes any boards which have developed significant cosmetic blemishes before packing and export.
