Exercise is the key to holistic, healthy development and should therefore be an integral part of everyone's everyday life.
The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health recommends that children should get at least one hour of exercise a day for healthy development.
But how do you get more exercise in everyday life?
One simple solution is to give children regular incentives to exercise. In addition to actively encouraging the child to move, exercise toys can also motivate them.
A short balance training session here, a gallop with the hobby horse there, a quick swing on the children's swing before dinner and taking the balance bike for a walk. And the day is already filled with movement.
To help you find the right toys for you and your children, here are some sustainable toys.
Stacking stone
The stacking stones are characterized by the fact that they are very robust, light and versatile. This makes them suitable not only for families, but also for daycare centers, kindergartens, playgroups, toy libraries and public playgrounds. A stacking stone weighs only 180 grams, but can be loaded with up to 180 kg.
The stones are easy to clean and dry. They can therefore be used indoors or outdoors, in water, snow, earth or sand. They contain no plasticizers, are saliva and bite resistant and have no sharp corners.
And the environment is also taken into consideration. Stapelstein's production is climate-neutral in Germany and the material is 100% recyclable.
The Stapelstein Balance Board is ideal for active balance exercises and dynamic sitting. In combination with the Stapelstein, the seat height can be individually and easily adjusted and the level of difficulty of the balance exercise can be increased. The raised edge of the Stapelstein board provides additional support for challenging balance exercises and is therefore particularly suitable for children and the physically impaired.
wooby
wooby complements this play cosmos with handcrafted wooden elements. Versatile, wooby can be used as a bridge, balance board, play table, seat or imaginative train. There is a strong concept behind the brand: all products are handmade in a social workshop in Switzerland by people with disabilities. In this way, wooby combines high-quality design with inclusion, meaningfulness and sustainability - a real heart project with an impact.
Palettino
Carefully crafted by hand Palettino movement objects for children "made in Zurich". The wooden products promote children's balance and dexterity.
Wobble
The Wobbel has its origins in Waldorf schools. The Wobbelboard - a wooden toy that moves young and old. The Wobbel stimulates balance and strength during play and use. In a playful way, but very efficiently, it supports body awareness and balance. When used as a training device, certain muscle groups can be isolated, while other exercises train large muscle groups. This applies to (small) children, adults and even older people. And above all, the Wobbel is simply a lot of fun and looks great in the children's room.
by ASTRUP
The beautiful hobbyhorses from by ASTRUP make children's hearts beat faster. In addition to the horses in various designs, there are also lots of accessories such as hurdles, brushes and a stable.
Fitwood
With the minimalist, well thought-out wooden play equipment from Fitwood you can bring movement into the children's room as a matter of course. Gymnastic rings, climbing triangles and balance boards encourage active play breaks - and look stylish at the same time. Fitwood combines Scandinavian design with functional movement expertise.
The more naturally movement is incorporated, the more naturally it becomes part of everyday life. What is important is not the "right training", but the joy of doing it. With a little imagination, the hallway can be transformed into a movement course, the children's room into a world of adventure and the forest into a lively play area. Our selection of movement-enhancing products will help you to give your child more freedom, physical experience and joy.
