The Wobbel Starter board is lighter, so it's easier for little ones to lift, turn and cart around. It's gentle curve helps it to be perfectly balanced. A slimmer waist and accented corners gives it maximum stability when flipped over.

Since it's made of wood, it's virtually indestructible and easy to clean. The recycled felt (which will help protect your hard floors) is made primarily from recycled bottles.
