FSC wood wall shelf / bookcase • Oasis

With this wall-mounted shelf, all our children’s books, games, and other objects become easily accessible to them. They can take them out and put them away easily themselves, thereby developing their independence.

For parents, it provides an opportunity for their child to do things independently and to follow their own pace by adapting the presence and arrangement of the items according to their interest in one or another, inspired by the Montessori method.

With its shallow depth, it minimizes the amount of space taken up in the room while maximizing the number of books and other objects accessible to the child, thanks to its four shelves, which are wide enough to place large books side by side - and easily store around thirty books in total, as well as toys, activities, tools, boxes, stuffed animals, or other objects.

Manufacturing partner

To allow children to learn freely while developing their independence, Agata drew inspiration from the Montessori educational approach. From the banks of the Dunajec, it contributes to their prepared environment by designing and handcrafting storage furniture adapted to their size, as well as to different types of interiors, taking into account the various constraints parents face when trying to maximize space in the home. 
With ingenious ideas and following Maria Montessori’s principles regarding product beauty and the nobility of materials, her small family business continues to innovate with handcrafted creations that delight children and decorate their bedrooms as well as the other rooms in the home.

 

What is the educational value of this product?

Shelves are an important part of children’s development because they facilitate independence.
For Maria Montessori, they are one of the essential elements of the prepared environment in which children freely engage in their activities and “work”. They also support children during the sensitive period for order, from birth to around 6 years of age.
This idea of supporting the development of independence applies to all active educational approaches.

Shelves will be one of the places where children can find the tools or materials they need for their handicraft activities in Steiner education or as part of projects in the Reggio Emilia approach. 
They will also find their tools, so important to Célestin Freinet, and their games, essential to Ovide Decroly, as well as their “gifts” and “occupations” according to Friedrich Fröbel. 

They will support our children’s independent activities, which are fundamental to the Pikler-Lóczy approach. 
This is also where they will go to find their “living books”, so important to Charlotte Mason, where they will discover extraordinary stories and characters that will nourish their imaginations, just as they nourished ours.
 

What is its value from a neuroscience perspective?

• Contributes to motor and cognitive development* (*Through practicing tasks that require precision and planning (arranging and organizing objects and books)).
• Strengthens neural circuits through the repetition of movements and tasks.

What is sensorimotor development?

Sensorimotor development is the process through which children develop their senses and learn to perform, master, and coordinate their movements.

The senses include the best-known ones, namely sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, as well as balance (through the vestibular system) and proprioception (the body’s position in space, provided by the somatosensory system). 

These different senses work together and in conjunction with the motor system.

In terms of motor development, two main categories of motor skills can be distinguished:

• gross motor skills, which refer to movements of the entire body or its larger limbs and muscles (legs, arms, torso, head),
• fine motor skills, which refer to movements of smaller muscles and limbs (fingers, hands, wrists, feet, ankles, toes, lips, tongue).

What is cognitive development?

Cognitive development is the process through which children acquire, organize, and learn to use knowledge. Cognitive skills are numerous and varied, and are orchestrated by executive functions. They include, among other things, language, goal-directed behavior, planning, cognitive flexibility, short-term memory (or working memory), long-term memory, the ability not to be distracted, the ability to control emotional reactions, and so on.

What is the value of this product in summary? 

• Develop fine motor skills.
• Learn to be independent.
• Develop a sense of order.
• Build self-confidence.
