bObles - helps parents give their children the best possible foundation

bObles is a company focused on creating closeness, joy of movement and motor development through multifunctional play furniture in simple, quality-conscious designs.

Some children's toys and especially furniture for children do not meet the child's natural need for play and movement, and much of it also does not have an appearance that is welcomed with open arms into our Nordic homes. This was the idea that created the world-famous company.

Today, bObles consists of a small - but dedicated - team working on toys that promote children's potential for a successful start in life, while always keeping Nordic and stylish mothers in mind.

The toddler pledge

bObles is a company for parents, but for children. They work to give parents the best possible foundation for giving their child the best upbringing with our products.

They have even gone so far as to make the toddler pledge - a pledge created in line with the UN Sustainable development goal no. 4.

The toddler pledge has the following objective: All children, from a very young age, must have the same opportunities to thrive, learn and develop in a community.

They therefore work every day to ensure that your child has the best possible foundation for developing, so they can have the best possible foundation for a good life in society.

They help you through the first 1000 days

At bObles, they are dedicated to making parenting easier for parents and growing up easier for children. They know that this particular period brings many challenges, and therefore offer to guide you through the first 1000 days as new parents.

This is a choice they have made because they work based on the toddler pledge - UN Sustainable development goal no. 4. And they do so through a digital platform - intium - where they have gathered a number of subject experts in the field who give you tips, advice and guidance, so you can offer your child the absolute best foundation for happy development.

And you can also always get daily inspiration for fun and stimulating activities, so you and your baby get off to a good start.

Who are the experts?

All content in the app is developed by subject experts in areas including midwifery, health visiting, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, psychology, nutrition science, sports science, brain research, paediatric chiropractic and research into movement and learning.

What is the purpose of providing 1000 days of guidance?

Research shows that a child's ability to cope with life and manage in life as part of the society and community we live in is built on a foundation of emotional, social and cognitive development. Research also shows that the first 1000 days are crucial for this development.

There is therefore good reason to guide parents during the first 1000 days, when they are new to this role - and through Intium - an interdisciplinary app - a broad range of subject experts are now able to offer security and motivate, inspire and guide you as a parent in your child's and your family's important development.

Why should you follow the initium app?

Intium is an offer for new parents who feel that they have stepped onto uncertain ground - in other words, an offer for the vast majority of new parents.

Not only will you be able to use the subject experts' advice to create good conditions for giving your child a secure start in life, you will also be able to use the app to give yourself a secure start in life as a parent.

With inspiration to ensure well-being, development and learning, you will be equipped to create the best possible foundation for your child in a way that also makes you feel more confident in your role.

Parenting based on the Nordic mindset

Many people hold back a little from many of these self-help tools for parents because much of it does not fit the Nordic mindset - if this is a concern you have, you can safely put it aside again, as this is based precisely on this mindset.

Your child's development and learning take place optimally in secure and attentive surroundings and in relation to you.

Your child learns with their body first and foremost, and best through play, where your role will often be to support rather than to direct.

So it is never unrealistic and manipulative methods that the app guides you to bring into everyday life - it is simply guidance on how best to support your child through their first time on earth.

Baby bobbles products

bObles does not only offer a wide range of tips and plenty of guidance through their app, they also offer products made with a focus on your child's development - and you can find bObles on offer, so it is always something you can keep an eye on.

They have a wide range of different products - toys, but also things that help and sharpen your child's senses - developed with a focus on the development that takes place for your child during the first 1000 days.

The toys are divided into different categories, which hopefully give you an indication of the toys that best suit your child's developmental level and age.

You can take a look at other products from bObles, where we recommend that you take a look at the dinosaur.

Age

The first category is age. This is an obvious category, as a child's developmental stages and levels often follow their age to a greater or lesser extent. There will of course be exceptions, but it is a good indicator of which toys will benefit your child the most.

The age category is divided into toys from bObles for ”Baby 0 - 12 months”, ”toddler 12 - 36 months” and ”child 36 + months”.

These are Broad age categories, but they Still give a good idea of which toys you should get your hands on.

Collections

If you are not interested in buying toys based on your child's age, you can also narrow your search through their collections. This category is particularly suitable if you are looking for something specific but cannot quite remember the name.

Their collections include ”classics”, ”circle”, ”interior” and ”motor skills magic”. They can each offer Something Different, and While Some Are primarily made with the child's development in mind, others are simply made as fun toys.

So there is hopefully something for every taste - including yours.

Motor skills magic

The ”motor skills magic” collection in particular is worth taking a Closer look at, as It Is one of those that particularly has a positive impact on your child's development.

The motor skills magic collection consists of a die and Some cards created by experts in both children's physical and mental well-being - and they are available for babies, toddlers and children.

The toy provides inspiration for play and movement at home in easy and fun ways - it provides inspiration for counting and the opportunity to practise understanding numbers and quantities, and combined with the cards it also gives the child an activity to perform a specific number of times.

How you can use the motor skills magic collection

The motor skills Magic Collection is not simply Toys placed in the child's hands, after which they can manage on their own. As the cards need to be read aloud, it requires adult involvement to a greater or lesser extent. There are several good reasons why you should buy bObles toys:

• It encourages play and togetherness between parent and child
• As a parent, you can select the cards you want to practise in a given situation
• There are cards that practise motor play and movement, but also cards that help in a bathing situation, at bedtime or during changing time.
• The die is made of EVA foam, which can be washed and taken into the bath.

So it is not ”just” a game, but a game that is suitable for educational situations.

Why a child's motor development is important

For a child to have the best possible foundation in life, their abilities should preferably develop regularly with other children - this also applies to the child's motor skills.

At bObles, however, there is another reason why they are so focused on the child's motor skills and want to bring so much play and motor skills into everyday life - children think and learn with their bodies.

Through motor games, you can actually help your child understand and learn to handle situations that can normally lead to challenges.

Specific suggestions for incorporating motor skills into a busy everyday life

Many parents experience challenges when it comes to brushing teeth, changing situations, bedtime, night-time fussing, getting the child dressed, tidying up, mealtimes - generally in many situations that cannot be avoided and therefore should not ruin the day.

At bObles, they know this challenge, and therefore they want to help make your day easier - and their best solution is through play, fun and movement.

They have done this together with a paediatric physiotherapist, a nutrition specialist and a health visitor, and in collaboration with them we have created ”motor skills magic”.

The game provides Specific Suggestions for how motor skills can become part of your everyday life - even when it is busy.

UN Sustainable development goal 12

UN Sustainable development goal 12 - Responsible consumption and production - actually goes hand in hand with UN Sustainable development goal 4: they cannot work for a better childhood unless they also focus on a better world and a better climate in which children can grow up.

Therefore, bObles works exclusively with factories that have proper working conditions and proper working environments for their employees - child labour is of course completely excluded. They ensure regular quality controls, and they ensure that no foam goes to waste when the products are manufactured. The surplus instead goes to other products, so they can prevent potential resource waste.

The products all have a long lifespan, which is why they can be passed down from child to child and therefore do not take part in our excessive consumer culture.

bObles outlet does exist, however, as it ensures that all toys are sold and put to use, and you can find cheap bObles products by, for example, keeping an eye out for ”black Friday bObles” and ”sale bObles”.

bObles offers and sales

A sustainable development goal such as UN Sustainable development goal 12 is not in direct agreement with offers and sales, but bObles chooses to hold these anyway.

This is something that has been decided with UN Sustainable development goal 4 in mind - namely that all children should have the same foundation for a good start in life. This also means that the parents' income should not be a decisive factor in whether the child has access to toys that can promote their development.

Although the bObles price is not unreasonable, you can find cheap bObles toys for Black Friday, and you can find great offers on bObles toys.

UN Sustainable development goal 17

Finally, UN Sustainable development goal 17 is also on bObles' list of priorities - partnerships for action. This has been part of the policy ever since its foundation in 2006, when they began working with companies that share the same goals and values - namely a desire to give children a better start in life.

Their events therefore often take place in collaboration with LEGO, Vores Børn, Nordisk Film, Flying Superkids, Popsi og Krelle, Arbejdernes Landsbank and Spies, as this gives them the chance to reach as far as possible.

The production of toys also takes place in collaboration with a number of partners who think about children and their families.
