Wondrous Wobble Boards
18 August 2019
The children at Little Wonders Oamaru have been doing a lot of wobbling lately, thanks to a generous donation from the Waitaki Woodturners Guild.
Two new wobble boards, lovingly crafted by woodturner extraordinaire Bill, are helping the centre children develop their core strength and balance.
