Statue Maria Montessori 977100

NEW

This miniature statue is made of neolith, a heavy weight synthetic resin that resembles bronze. It is designed to spark conversations between parents, teachers and children on Montessori education. The statue is inspired by a well-known photograph of Maria Montessori, where she holds a small book as a symbol of her academic work.

Balance Bike 050000

NEW

This Balance Bike is a great opportunity for children who have not quite got the hang of riding a bike yet. With its low step-through design it is easy to get on for toddlers. Now they can go for a ride on their own bike like the older children. It is also ideal for practising basic balance skills at an early stage. The ability to sit upright comes before the ability to operate pedals, but the legs and feet can act as training wheels. Contact with the ground gives the child a safe and easy start, which gives them confidence to do more. The child learns to push off from the ground, get moving and maintain speed. It is a gentle and fun start to a life of cycling, and a great way to learn how to keep their balance on a moving bike. The Balance Bike also challenges the child’s motor skills. When riding, the child has to push off with their legs, coordinate their arms and legs, assess the distance and clear of any obstacles encountered along the way.
