Gobble ‘till you Wobble (Board)



How is it possible that it’s almost Thanksgiving?! My, how the time is flying! I’ve been trying to teach Corban to say “Gobble Gobble” so that I could get a video of him Gobbling while he’s wobbling on his Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Board. He says something that sounds like a mix between Gobble and Wobble but the struggle to get it on video for you is real! 

What I do have for you, in light of Thanksgiving coming up, is a fun printable for the kids!

Corban's not quite 2 but he’s totally going to be scribbling all over one of these! He loves coloring! He has a wooden table that we let him color at but instead of coloring at his table he’s started coloring on his table! We tried for a while to get him to only color on his coloring book but his table has started looking like a piece of art so we gave up. 


When Erica gave us our Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Board I told her we’d try to keep the crayons away from it so it stays nice for pictures on the blog. She laughed and said if he colors on it I can just write about how to get it off. Well, just a couple of weeks later, I’m here to report that if your little one colors on their Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Board, a Mr. Clean magic eraser does the trick.

I feel like you guys need to know how fantastic these Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Boards are! When Erica first told me she was starting a business selling these I was a little confused by the board to be honest, but now that Corban has one we love this thing!  It is amazing to watch his imagination take off as he plays with it. He stacks blocks on it, he walks across it, he balances on it, he uses it as a slide, he wobbles on it and cracks himself up because he thinks it’s hilarious, he plays with his cars on it, he sits on it, he lays on it, he colors on it... oh ya that ones a “no, no” at our house.  Seriously though, these boards are amazing and engage little minds so well. I even like playing with it. It is a great toy for all ages! 

Just look at this kid having fun with his board!

  1. My 2.5 year old loves to color...on everything. Once he gets his board, I’m sure he will decorate it too! Glad to know Mr. Clean works to get it off!

That’s the way things happen on The Plinkco Express (w/ free downloadable Christmas wish list print)

     All aboard The Plinkco Express! Welcome! I am so excited to be writing this blog! To start off, I would love to introduce myself!  My name is Jessica Gregory and I am a mom of two little ones; Corban, who will be two in December (on New Years Eve), and Ava who just turned 4 months old (picture of my family below). I’m sure you will be hearing about them a lot on this blog!  Erica and I have been best friends since childhood and I was so excited when she had this idea of doing a blog for her new business, Plink Co. Express Learning .       Our hope is that this blog will be a useful resource and an encouragement to parents and teachers!  If you follow Plink Co. Express Learning on Facebook or instagram, you probably know that Erica values her followers and wants to build a sense of community. She’s not just in the business of selling toys, she wants to be a help and encouragement and build a support system for people who are trying to educate,  children at home, in the classroom,

Learning from Virtually Anything

I’ve been thinking lately while watching my son as he grows and learns, that there is an opportunity for learning in everything. Even in these pictures, We counted to 5 to get him to sit still long enough for a picture for the blog. I’ve been trying to use these little moments to teach him, whether it be a life lesson, or learning things like numbers, colors, and words.  He is so excited about learning his colors right now! We’ve just been using anything and everything to help him learn them but I cannot wait to give him his Plink Co. Color sorting peg dolls for Christmas! He also loves practicing those fine motor skills. My sister has a pair of air pods and one of his favorite things is taking them out of the case and putting them back in. I think these peg dolls will bring hours of entertainment to our house! It’s always a win when learning is fun! This year has been a rollercoaster to say the least!  All of you teachers and homeschooling parents rock!  There have been so many learni
