Do you know Gonge Mini Parkour?

Want to let your child—or a whole group of kids—move, climb, and play using their whole body from head to toe?

A swing, a mat, a seesaw, a hammock, wall bars, a trapeze… creating the perfect play space can quickly become a complicated project, often involving lots of equipment to set up (and pack away again when playtime is over). 

That’s where Danish brand Gonge comes to the rescue with its Mini Parkour obstacles for children aged 3–7. Parkour is a super popular, energetic way to play, where the goal is to keep the momentum going by grabbing, climbing, balancing, and twisting your way through the surroundings. It’s a sport—well, more of a subculture—that kids are bound to come across as they get older. 

With Mini Parkour obstacles, children can crawl, jump, climb, swing, and hang in all sorts of possible (and impossible) ways while pretending to be monkeys, jumping spiders, fleas, or any other wild and wonderful creatures they can dream up.

Improvisation is at the heart of parkour—and using their body to figure things out on the go helps develop your child’s problem-solving skills. Like… how do they get their leg over that bar while still holding on tight? Time to get creative!

Mini Parkour obstacles let kids meet, play, and move together, all while building gross motor skills, sensory integration, balance, and strength.

Features of Mini Parkour: 

• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Easy to assemble and take apart when playtime is over
• Children quickly learn to build their own unique Mini Parkour course
• The locking system keeps the bases securely attached to the bars.

The activity is wonderful for your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

• This type of play helps your child strengthen their depth perception skills. For instance, this will help your child navigate traffic in a safe way. "How fast is the car coming towards me?" suddenly becomes a little bit easier to assess.
• This boosts your child's awareness of their own body.
• This is a way for your child to stimulate their vestibular sense, which helps us to stand on one leg, spin in circles, or ride in a car without losing our balance, feeling dizzy, or getting car sick.

Suitable for ages 3 yrs. to 6 yrs.

With motor skills furniture, your child isn’t supposed to sit still and stay calm. Being able to rock and roll (literally) can in fact help children with motor restlessness find calm. When your child's proprioception and vestibular sense get more of the stimuli they need to function and thrive, your child has an easier time staying calm. In other words, when your child gets enough sensory stimulation, their body will relax and function better.

Motor skills furniture from Toy Academy is extra durable and will withstand years of use.
