Thanks to its ingenious design, this set offers our children the ideal support for reading, sitting at a desk or coffee table to engage in various activities, spending time chatting and playing with family or friends, and will grow with them thanks to its two different sizes, which adjust depending on the direction in which it is placed.

What is the educational benefit of this product?
On his bench, your child concentrates on creative, fun activities, and can come and go in his “yes space”.
By using it as a step stool, he observes and learns, participating in daily tasks and activities, while having the freedom to get on and off freely, and to do like us - or like him - alone or accompanied .
Free motor skills are at the heart of active pedagogies, it is even constitutive of the pedagogy of Emmi Pikler, and this bench touches on many principles which are common to them as well as specific to some.
The 3-in-1 bench will, for example, touch on the “atmosphere”, a pillar of Mason pedagogy. Charlotte Mason believes that it is necessary to take advantage of the possibilities offered by the environment in which the child already lives to educate him. Children learn and must learn from real things in the real world. Observation also plays an important role, as with Freinet or Decroly.
It will also, in all its forms, be a support for the expression of the “100 languages”, which is at the heart of Reggio pedagogy. The child will learn and discover there, but also express his creativity. Rudolf Steiner also considered that creativity was essential in the development of the child, giving Waldorf pedagogy a central place for the expression of imagination and art.
For Maria Montessori, a child watches and stores information of immense interest when he accompanies his mother. At the same time, she considers that a child cannot think without his hands.
It contributes to the prepared environment recommended by Maria Montessori, whether in its bench, table, or step stool configuration, but also to the child's freedom of choice and movement in his activities.
It should be noted that during the age range at which children use their bench, they go through all of the Montessori sensitive periods, those of language (approximately 2 months - 6 years), of coordination of movements ( approximately 18 months - 4 years), order (approximately 0 - 6 years), refinement of the senses (approximately 18 months - 5 years), social behavior (approximately 2.5 years - 6 years), small objects (during the 2nd year).
And the 3-in-1 evolving bench will be a support for all kinds of activities corresponding to each of these periods.
What is the interest from a neuroscience point of view?
- Participation in sensorimotor, cognitive and socio-affective development* (*Through support for creative and concentration activities, participation in household tasks that require precision and/or planning (cooking, tidying up object, etc.), hygiene activities (such as washing hands, teeth, cleaning dishes), and interactions with adults and children in the family).
- Strengthening neural circuits through repetition of gestures, tasks and interactions.
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 is socio-emotional development?
Social-emotional development is the process by which children acquire the ability to understand, express and manage their thoughts, emotions and behavior.
Social and emotional skills are also directly linked to how they perceive themselves and develop relationships with others.
What age groups is it suitable for?
The 3-in-1 extendable bench can be used from the time your child can stand up independently until approximately 4 years old. It serves as a support for many sitting activities - such as painting, drawing, pottery, construction games, etc. - and standing - washing hands, teeth, cooking, washing dishes, etc.
It can then be used as a bedside table, coffee table, seat or storage for children and parents alike.
