Balance board with felt allows for balancing on hard surfaces and protects both the board and the floor from damage. While playing with the board, remember to follow safety rules and supervise your child's play. Felt has a tendency to pilling. This is a natural feature of this material and does not affect the functionality of the product. We recommend that you gently clean the felt with a damp cloth and then wipe it dry. Frequent contact with moisture results in felt coming off the board, so make sure that the toy is always dry.
