bObles - Small Obstacle Course Set

The Tumbling Chicken's semi-cylindrical shape allows the child to balance on the chicken's back when placed down, or rock away when turned upside down.

"The chicken can be placed on its wide/narrow surface or be turned upside down. When the chicken is placed on its back there is a rocking function. For the very small child who has just learned to get around the balance will be challenged by laying on the chicken and feel the rocking - and just by lying next to the chicken and touch it will provide a good and fun stimuli for the child. When the child can sit it will do it on the chicken - and later stand and walk on it. When used as a step stone the advantage is the fact that it does not slide. Another benefit is that the material is soft, which makes it nice to use even with bare feet. When the rocking function is used it is demanding for the balance - but just to stand on it will also place a demand on the musculature/stability of the foot. Subsequently the chicken has a very usable see saw function, since it lies very stable and secure, easy to control and has a good angle in relation to the stretch/movement of the ankle joint."

The Tumbling Fish's cylindrical shape makes for a perfect rolling wheel when on its side, or a stool when placed on its end.

"The 6-layer fish has all the same good functions as the smaller version, but the most brilliant thing is that they can roll - and then it has a size that enables the child to sit on it while in movement, which enhance not only the balance but also the joint senses. Children can lie across them and have the backside of their bodies strengthened, and children can exercise their arms through the pressure from their own body weight."

The Tumbling Crocodile is a very versatile toy. When placed down, its back can be used as a staircase. Flip it over and you have a seesaw or a rocking surfboard!

"The most obvious use of the Crocodile is as a staircase - the desire to walk up and down the "stairs" is obvious, which enhances the strength and balance of the child. When turned upside down you have an angled surface - the see saw function appears when the crocodile is placed on its back and the child can walk/lie on its entire straight surface. The option to sit where the child have a chair and table in the same piece of furniture. The furniture will grow with the child given that the small child can muscle in on the low step and the higher steps are for the toddler. The crocodile has three seating levels for the small child and it is splendid for the social dimension that 2-3 children can sit together on the same piece of furniture. There is also the option to stack them as a bench, which allows 2 heights."
