bObles classic
Happy childhood – better world! bObles is about being present, the joy of movement and the development of motor skills through play. We make multifunctional tumbling furniture in a simple and quality-conscious design, which support children in their motor skill development by appealing to play and movement.
We want to give children the best start in life When children gain body awareness through motor skill development, they strengthen the ability to learn, they feel more confident, and have an easier time interacting with others. The children are better equipped to meet the world as the human beings they are.
the happy development bObles has made five “tumbling icons” that each represent natural and basic elements in children’s motor skill development. The progress from lying on the stomach, to rolling, crawling, standing, walking, jumping and balancing are all central elements and function as the core of physical development. With the icons, it is our ambition to create a playful universe full of movement, which inspires children to use and challenge their body and play, while developing their body awareness. Most of all we want to encourage the joy of movement. This is what we call “The happy development.”
Motor skills and particularly gross motor skills are important for the child’s wonderful development. When we are talking about gross motor skills, we mean the use of the large joints, the basic senses, and the development of basic skills. For the child, the body is simply just the body. But motor skills and motivation, presence and curiosity, play, movement, and excitement are equally important to build body awareness - and knowing your own worth. - Louise Hærvig, children’s physiotherapist
