This desk is a dream support for the many activities of our young children, supporting them in their moments of creativity, concentration, their cognitive development and their discovery of textures and senses.
In its initial configuration, it has a location at the back where the roll of paper supplied with the desk can be placed, on the right a modular storage space which allows you to create a set that can offer up to 8 cubic containers where our children can place their pens, pencils, chalks, brushes, glasses, but also toys, building blocks, boxes of modeling clay, etc.
At the front is the shelf on which we can unroll the paper or place notebooks or books, and which, when opened, presents a blackboard under its surface, facing our child and a locker topped with 'a removable and tiltable transparent acrylic board.
This open configuration gives tons of possibilities to children who can draw with chalk on the blackboard, with erasable marker on the transparent board, which also gives them the opportunity to paint with their fingers, draw with sand or flour , etc.
By raising or removing the acrylic board, our children can use their locker to store their belongings or use it as an activity bin for their construction games, modeling, sculpting, working with different natural materials, or any another occupation that will arouse their curiosity, amuse them, and give them the chance to do things alone, in complete autonomy.
To allow them to enjoy their office for as long as possible, it is scalable to grow with them.

Manufacturing partner
For No, it all started by observing children, and remembering his own childhood. The pleasure of having fun with simple objects, of discovering treasures, but also the frustration of not being able to reach things because we are too small, saying goodbye to objects we love because our body has become too big for them, or having to accept not practicing certain indoor activities, such as playing with sand, because the environment is not suitable for it.
The idea then emerged to create materials that would allow children to express themselves, dream, play, draw, create, learn and master, alone or with others. A project which came to fruition in 2018, to give rise to healthy, ingenious equipment, manufactured locally, in Latvia, which is both ergonomic, which promotes the development of the child, at their own pace, and which grows with them .
What is the educational benefit of this product?
At his desk, your child concentrates on creative, fun activities, and can come and go as well as work independently.
Independent activities are constitutive of the pedagogy of Emmi Pikler as well as of Maria Montessori, Loris Malaguzzi, Célestin Freinet or even Rudolf Steiner to name but a few.
The office will support the child's expression through games, crafts or art (knitting, modeling, construction games, painting, embroidery, etc.) which are educational pillars, in particular in the Steiner Waldorf, Reggio Emilia or Freinet pedagogies.
There he will discover writing and mathematics, as well as reading, notably through the living books, dear to Charlotte Mason, which will nourish his imagination.
It will also be the place where he will learn and repeat tasks at his own pace, until he masters them, through activities intended to develop his executive functions and certain specific skills (particularly in Montessori).
What is the interest from a neuroscience point of view?
- Participation in sensorimotor development and cognitive* (*Through the exercise of tasks that require precision - painting, salt dough, cutting, writing, etc. - but also reflection and concentration to solve problems).
- Strengthening neural circuits through repetition of gestures and tasks.
What is sensorimotor development?
Sensorimotor development is the process by which children develop their senses and learn to perform, control and coordinate their movements.
The senses include the best known ones: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, but also balance (thanks to the vestibular system) and proprioception (position of the body in space, given by the somatosensory system).
These different senses work in concert with each other and with the motor system.
In terms of motor development, we can distinguish two main categories of motor skills:
- gross motor skills, which refers to movements of the whole body or the large limbs and muscles of the body (legs, arms, trunk, head),
- fine motor skills, which refers to the movements of smaller muscles and limbs (fingers, hands, wrists, feet, ankles, toes, lips, tongue).
What is cognitive development?
Cognitive development is the process by which children acquire, organize and learn to use knowledge. Cognitive skills are numerous, varied, and are orchestrated by executive functions. They include, among others, language, goal-directed behaviors, planning, cognitive flexibility, short-term memory (or working memory), long-term memory, the ability not to be distracted, to control emotional reactions, etc.
What age groups is it suitable for?
This evolving desk grows with your child and serves as a support for many activities - such as painting, drawing, salt dough, construction games, etc. It is a place that he will make his own, where he can then learn reading, writing, mathematics, and which can be used until he is around 10 years old.
What is the point of this product in summary?
- Learn to be independent.
- Encourage your imagination and creativity.
- Contribute to their cognitive, sensorimotor development, and their discovery of textures.
