Balance Board





Wooden Wobble Balance Board

I know this might seem a strange thing to show up on a kids' gift guide, but I got my 10 year old one last year and he loves it. He stands on it while he's playing video games, sometimes even when he's reading! He says he remembers things better when he's standing on the board!
With options under $25 it makes it a budget friendly idea!!

They even have a kid friendly version for ages 3+!
