Floor Surfer
A motor skills scooter board suitable for play and for stimulating motor development. The Floor Surfer combines play and development - and that’s something we get really excited about here at Toy Academy.
The Floor Surfer was developed in collaboration with pediatric physiotherapists to ensure optimal support for motor and balance development, with careful attention to posture and safety.
The Floor Surfer combines functionality, safety, and design - it doesn’t hurt when a motor skills toy also looks good in the living room, which is often where your child has the space to play freely.
The Floor Surfer is slightly curved at one end to support your child’s tailbone when they're sitting on the board and pushing themselves forward, and their chest when they're lying on the board on their stomach and “paddling” along.At the front, the Floor Surfer is slightly tapered to allow your child's arms to move as freely as possible. The wheels have been carefully selected and analysed to minimise the risk of rolling over your child’s fingers. They're high-quality wheels with double ball bearings, and they're made of clear PU plastic so they don’t leave black marks on the floor.The sides of the Floor Surfer make convenient handles for your child to hold on to, while their hands are protected by the protruding corners.The entire board is made of plastic with an EVA foam insert to provide a soft and comfortable surface.Length: 56 cm, Width: 37 cm, Height: 14 cm. Maximum load: 100 kg.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

This toy doesn't have any rules, and your child can simply play without thinking about how to use it. The goal is simply playing and being in the present moment. At ToyAcademy, we call this type of play intuitive play - its also called "open-ended play". Let your child play by using their intuition and seize the opportunity to watch how it unfolds.
As opposed to types of play which are about achieving a result or playing within specific boundaries, intuitive play will often let you have a fascinating look into your child’s independent imagination, problem-solving skills, and thought process.
With motor skills furniture, your child isn’t supposed to sit still and stay calm. Rocking and rolling can actually help children with motor restlessness stay calm. When your child's vestibular sense and proprioception get more of the input they need to work at their best, your child has an easier time settling down. This means that, when your child's need for sensory input is met, their body can relax and function better.
Motor skills furniture bought at ToyAcademy is extra durable and will withstand years of use.
The activity is wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn:
- This type of play strengthens your child's gross motor skills. It specifically involves your child's ability to coordinate their legs and arms.
- Supports the vestibular sense, which improves balance, vision, and body awareness.
- Supports children's proprioception, which you may also know as the body awareness sense or the kinesthetic sense.
