A board with suction cups. Rock it. The pops keep a toddler busy.

A board with suction cups. Rock it. The pops keep a toddler busy.

The board is a shallow U-shape covered in silicone suction cups. The toddler stands on it, rocks forward, the cups pop. Rocks back, more pops. Sits, lies, rolls, the popping continues.

The toy is built around a simple fact: small bodies need to move, and moving things that make sound get moved more. The cups stick to smooth floors without leaving residue, which matters more than it sounds. Holds up to a hundred and ten pounds, so a parent can demonstrate without worry. Twenty-eight inches by eleven, fits in a corner of a playroom.

Three colors. The kids pick the pink and stay on it for an hour while the parent drinks coffee on the couch. Tested in living rooms everywhere.
