Why movement is essential for children: The Montessori perspective
Children learn not only through observation and imitation, but also through movement. Maria Montessori recognized early on that physical activity and mental development are inextricably linked. Our Climbing and Movement category is based on this insight and offers climbing frames and other play and sports equipment that give children the freedom to move safely and creatively.
Promotion of motor development
- Balance and coordination: Equipment such as balancing beams or climbing arches promote balance and improve body control. Children learn to coordinate their movements through play, which also boosts their self-confidence in the long term.
- Strength and endurance: Products such as our climbing frames or balancing boards specifically challenge and promote physical fitness. This is particularly important for the little ones' energy, which can be channeled in an orderly fashion.
Mental benefits of exercise
- By physically exploring spaces and equipment, children develop problem-solving skills and learn to master challenges.
- Exercise helps to reduce stress and promotes concentration - both of which are essential for everyday school and social life.
