Using these balance pods is super easy. Just place the stepping stone on a flat surface. Kids can stand, jump, or step on it to improve their balance and coordination. They can play solo or with friends in games like 'The Floor is Lava'. When using, make sure the area around the pod is clear to prevent any falls. As for maintenance, simply wipe the pod with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Store it in a dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
