With its modules in various shapes and padded with foam, the motor skills course is ideal for creating a play area at home that our children can modify as they wish.
They can take turns climbing, jumping, sitting, going up, down, standing or on all fours, learning to keep their balance in multiple postures, reading, relaxing, resting. , make it a step, an armchair, a cabin, a changing table, a seat for babies, a ramp for a car... Their unlimited imagination will surprise us, as always, and will offer greater longevity to this course which offers excellent support to motor development.
Parents will also be able to sit there with them to read a story, gather around a concentration activity or simply spend some time together chatting, seated against these comfortable modules.
Its optional ball pool is a dream for many children, symbolizing the pleasure of playing freely. You can jump into it, swim in it without getting wet, use it as a playground to immerse your toys in or even hide in it, with more or less success...
The little ones will learn the colors, climb on it safely and discover the pleasure of emptying it of all its balls as well as that of filling it - to better empty it again! - while exercising and developing their fine motor skills and the coordination of their movements.
The balls fit in the hands of young children and are an inexhaustible source of play: they will serve as ammunition and will be thrown across the room (without risk of breakage), taken out of their foam pool to play in the water (in a shower, a bathtub, even a real swimming pool), and will be a fun tool to develop their dexterity (juggling one, two, then three balls, throwing them at targets, in baskets, in their swimming pool, etc.).
The elements of the motor skills course can also be used in synergy with other toys which can enhance the motor skills course, the modules of which can also be used to guard against potential falls for toddlers, and the ball pool can be placed at the bottom slide or ramp to make the activities even more stimulating - and the descents even more euphoric!

Trick
To prevent the modules from separating too easily when used by younger children, we advise you to use the course on a mat.
If this is not enough for your family, the covers of the course blocks are removable, it is possible to sew Velcro strips on them. This allows the blocks to be held together in all circumstances and the covers will continue to go through the machine.
What is the educational benefit of this product?
With its playful side, which invites movement, the motor skills course is a tool perfectly suited to play, which gives children the desire to express their inventiveness and exercise their imagination, elements that are so important in active teaching.
As advocated by the Pikler-Lóczy pedagogy, children will develop their motor skills freely, learn to know their body and master their movements. They will multiply different postures by going up, down, climbing, riding, but also by moving the modules that make it up. They will throw themselves on it, in it and learn how to get out of its ball pool.
The motor skills course accompanies children during the sensitive periods of coordination of movements and order, identified by Maria Montessori, which children go through respectively between approximately 18 months and 4 years, and the birth at approximately 6 years.
What is the interest from a neuroscience point of view?
- Participation in sensorimotor development* (*Through movement and adjustment of their posture).
- Strengthening neural circuits through repetition of movements.
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 age groups is it suitable for?
The motor skills course can be used as soon as your child is standing alone and can be used throughout his childhood.
What is the point of this product in summary?
- Discover the world around you.
- Develop motor skills, including fine motor skills.
- Practice daily tasks.
- Learn to be independent.
- Strengthen his self-confidence.
- Collaborate on projects, guided by parents.
