For a child, the rocker is an invitation to the imagination. And for parents, proof that children's creativity has no limits.
On the one hand, it has the obvious benefit of helping children develop and master their balance and proprioception by adapting their posture to the movements of their rocker.
On the other hand, it offers them the possibility of inventing stories and creating scenarios. They will use it as a cradle or swing for their babies, then as a cabin or climbing frame by turning it over. Placed on its side, they will transform it into a store display or even a work surface.
The rocker goes further than offering a tool for free motor skills, it is a support for free play for our children, alone or combined with other toys, according to their desires.

Manufacturing partner
Since 2015, the team at Santeri has been producing items for home fitness practitioners. Initially motivated by the desire to create equipment that is both durable and aesthetic, integrating into home decor to allow for easy daily workouts, this concept quickly led them to products aimed at child development, enabling younger ones to move at home as much as they need, in all directions, despite sometimes challenging outdoor conditions.
Where possible, the materials used are Nordic-made, the raw materials are mainly Finnish and the products are made in Finland in Tampere, where their company is based.
What is the educational benefit of this product?
The rocker is ideally suited to open play and imaginative imitation, central elements of Steiner Waldorf pedagogy, and allows the child to make uses of it which are limited only by their imagination .
This opportunity to play and explore freely is the foundation of Alexander Neill's pedagogy, based on the idea of giving children space and time, without intervention or participation from adults.
In addition, its qualities of supporting the development of balance and proprioception make it the ideal tool for learning to control your body through the repetition of movements, as advocated by the Pikler-Lóczy pedagogy. >.
Its use is perfect during the sensitive period of coordination of movements identified by Maria Montessori, and which children go through between approximately 18 months and 4 years.
What is the interest from a neuroscience point of view?
- Participation in sensorimotor development* (*Through movement, balance and proprioception)
- 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 rocker can be used from birth until approximately 12 years old. It can be used to balance, swing, climb and serve as a slide by combining it with its ramp, or even be transformed into a tent, cabin, counter, etc.
What is the point of this product in summary?
- Develop motor skills, balance, proprioception and coordination of movements.
- Learn to be independent.
- Nurture your imagination and creativity.
- Strengthen his self-confidence.
