I would like to share a new addition to our Christmas Gift Guide 2025: GIBBON Balance Board for Kids with Storybook & Sensory Toy I received in exchange for this review.

GIBBON Balance Board for Kids with Storybook & Sensory Toy is a Emotional Regulation Tools for Kids – Social Emotional Learning Activities – Calming Corner Anger Management Toys & Slack Board Bundle.
I like how this will help with children’s meltdowns which we don’t always have to explain because Gibby can do it for us. Giving parents time to breathe. The storybook helps make emotions relatable and included in the bundle is 3 emotion regulation tools.
All children learn differently but Charlie learned by doing and GIBBON Balance Board for Kids with Storybook & Sensory Toy allows Charlie to do that and to get in exercise when using the slackline board. Having the stuffed animal is calming when children are scared or afraid of on the verge of a meltdown. Having the Monkey is like having a new best friend and he looks so cute sitting on his bed.
I also like the slackline board will get children away from screentime for a bit which is a Godsend.

About this item
- Teach Emotional Awareness Early — You don’t have to explain every meltdown. Let Gibby do it for you. The storybook makes emotions relatable and provides 3 emotion regulation tools for kids. Breathing, self-talk, and balance training. They can connect to Gibby’s journey and apply these coping skills for kids in everyday moments.
- Playful Practice for Big Feelings — Kids learn by doing, and Gibby makes it playful. After a tough day at school, Gibby is there for a hug or to join in balance practice on the slackline board, turning learning into hands-on fun. Every time they play with the stress toys, they also practice. Those self regulation tools for kids become second nature.
- Balance & Reset Their Energy — When your child feels overwhelmed, redirect their emotions and put them on the GIBBON SlackBoard. This kids balance board naturally shifts their energy as they focus on movement. At home, school, or grandma’s, this balancing board gives them a screen-free way to reset and calm down.
- Simple, Screen-Free Fun — You don’t need another gadget to set up or app to download. When a meltdown starts brewing, kids can choose the story, Gibby, or the slack line balance board all on their own. Parents don’t have to scramble for distractions. These calming toys for kids empower children to help themselves independently.
- Peace of Mind for Caregivers — Parents, grandparents, and teachers can feel confident knowing kids have reliable emotional regulation toys to work through tough moments. Instead of every tantrum turning the household or classroom upside down, children can reach for one of Gibby’s sensory toys. This tantrum calming for kids bundle makes daily routines smoother for everyone.

All Gibbon SlackBoards is produced in North America with sustainably harvested maple from WA. While this is brand new, GIBBON’s original boards get mostly 5-star reviews on amazon. They were created by a female physical therapist. No screens. No assembly. No batteries or plugs.
Builds skills that will last a lifetime. We’re finding it’s an especially wonderful tool for children on the autism spectrum including those with ADHD. “My sensory seeking clients love the Gibby board and holding Gibby too!
The super cute visuals really appeal to young kids, and the motor challenge helps them feel ‘just right’ when their bodies crave input.”, Lindsey Biel, Occupational Therapist, co-author, “Raising a Sensory Smart Child”, foreword by Temple Grandin.
