Feely Feelings Set

Embracing Seat - soft children's armchair made of foam Security - like a hug Our soft children's armchair feels like a hug. And a hug can do a lot: it can strengthen children, comfort them and bring a smile. It is like its own language. A language children speak from birth. How valuable it is to use this language to give children a place of security in their everyday lives. Mobile retreat for observing Hardly has an exciting new discovery been explored when the children are already magically drawn to the next adventure. After all, there is so much to discover. That is not only exciting but also exhausting. How good that it exists: the Embracing Seat. The retreat. The brilliant thing: with the Embracing Seat the child can still take part in what is happening. Because unlike fixed cuddle corners, our soft foam seat can be carried easily and flexibly from place to place. This gives children the opportunity to process all the impressions and enjoy the exciting bustle from a different perspective. Because in our soft armchair the child can withdraw and still experience being part of the group. Support for settling in Our Embracing Seat is particularly valuable for children who are still in the settling-in phase. The children's armchair provides support, security and exactly the sense of safety that many children still lack at the beginning. Relying on an adult for this is not easy for every child, especially if no bond has yet been formed. Finding relaxation & calm A day can be quite turbulent. Whether among all the other children in kindergarten or after exciting adventures at home. With our children's armchair you give nursery and kindergarten children exactly the place of calm they need. A place of relaxation. Ritual & easy transition to bed Our Embracing Seat is the ideal companion for the transition from an exciting day to bedtime. It gently wraps the child. It provides security and helps to let go — of the day, of experiences. All the tensions are relieved by the supporting cushion. Perceive & regulate feelings Feelings can really overwhelm children. Much feels new and often quite intense. The Embracing Seat offers children a safe place where they can perceive and feel themselves. Gently enveloped, the Embracing Seat provides the security on which other feelings can also find a suitable space. The touch of the seat cushion activates the sensing of one's own body and helps children to arrive with themselves. The Embracing Seat provides the ideal basis for experiencing one's own emotional world and serves as a valuable companion for a harmonious, balanced atmosphere. Cozy foam with high-quality faux leather cover Besides its special shape, our Embracing Seat owes its coziness to a deliberately chosen interior. The vinyl material molds to the body and thus supports the feeling of pleasant contact. The specially manufactured faux leather cover is certified with the European EN 71 1-3 label. This means that it is a high-quality material free from any harmful substances — therefore ideal for children. The light green of our children's armchair was also chosen intentionally. Green stands for calm. It forms the middle ground between calm blue and radiant yellow. A fresh tone independent of age and gender. Easy to clean To prepare the Embracing Seat for all situations, it is equipped with a cover that makes cleaning easier. Whether tears of joy, marks of sadness or a few yogurt fingers, simply wipe with household cleaners. Disinfectants can also be used without concern as long as they are free of acetone, benzene and isopropyl alcohol. Compared to upholstered furniture and other retreats, the Embracing Seat offers a cozy place that lasts. Cleanliness to snuggle into. Sit in. Arrive. Feel safe. That is the Embracing Seat by KRAFT.

Batakas - experience fairness & handle aggression safely <\/h2> Soft foam core<\/h3> Our Batakas have a high-quality foam core. This runs through the entire striking surface. This is what makes our Batakas so safe. A hit with the Bataka club is injury-free and soft. <\/p> Tear-resistant fabric cover<\/h3> The durable red fabric cover endures a lot! With it, children, adolescents and adults can stage the wildest duels and enjoy the high quality of our Batakas for a long time. <\/p> High-quality wooden handle securely encased<\/h3> Our Bataka clubs are thought through down to the last detail. The pleasant wooden handle fits comfortably in children’s and adults’ hands. To provide the necessary safety, our Batakas are equipped with a protective shell made of high-quality plastic. This protects the hands and is securely wrapped by the soft fabric. <\/p> Possible uses - games & exercises for Batakas:<\/h2> Dexterity exercise obstacle course<\/h3> Place soft balls at heights, for example on stacked soft blocks. The task is to knock the soft balls down as quickly as possible with the Batakas and reach the finish line. <\/p> Variant: time it, or race against the sand timer. <\/p> Balance exercise solo<\/h3> A playful duel on solid ground is one thing; on a bench or a balance cushion it becomes more difficult. The children try to keep their balance. Whoever manages to stay on longer wins. Time can also be measured. <\/p> Balance exercise teamwork<\/h3> Children are divided into pairs. The two children stand on a see-saw balance board opposite two other children on another balance board. The pairs try to stay on their own balance board and use the Batakas to push the opposing pair off their board. <\/p> Variant: Place the balance board flat on the ground. Children sit on the balance board and try to push each other off using the Batakas. <\/p> Movement game dragon guardian<\/h3> One child is the guardian, the other the thief. The guardian guards two soft balls <\/a>(dragon eggs). These lie several meters apart in a hula hoop (nest). The thief crawls stealthily behind a screen. For this, for example, the foam arches from our wobble arch sets are suitable. The guardian tries to hear on which side of the screen the thief will come out to protect the nearby egg in time. The thief obtains the egg if they manage to push it out of the nest (hula hoop) with the Bataka. The guardian wins if they touch the thief first with their Bataka. <\/p> Circle game treasure guardian<\/h3> A volunteer child is the brave treasure guardian. They sit in the middle of the circle and wear an eye mask. Their task is to guard the treasure (bell/key,…). One child plays the thief and tries to steal the treasure as quietly as possible without being hit by the guardian’s Bataka. If the thief succeeds, they sit down again. All children hide their hands behind their backs. The treasure guardian gets a chance to guess the thief. After 3 wrong guesses, the thief gives an audible signal with the treasure and the guardian locates the sound. <\/p> <\/p> Role plays<\/h3> The children choose roles. For example, they can slip into the role of a knight. The knightly duel takes place, of course, under honorable knightly rules (see below: Rules for Batakas). <\/p> Letting off steam<\/h3> After the Bataka anger clubs have been introduced (see below: Introducing the Batakas), they can be made quickly available to children by an adult caregiver as a daily option. The child receives the anger club and can choose to use it on a specific object (tree trunk, wall, column, ...) or engage in a supervised duel with the adult. <\/p> Mindfulness & verbal expression of feelings<\/h3> While the child (see above: Letting off steam) gets a channel for the emerging anger, they can give voice to the frustration through verbal support. Accompanying questions from the adult: What is making you so angry right now? Where do you feel the anger most (stomach, head, ...)? Do you already feel the anger subsiding? <\/p> Introduction & rules for Batakas<\/h2> Provide space for questions<\/h3> Situations in which the children are relaxed are best suited. Small groups can also be formed to provide a calm setting for questions that arise. Feel free to ask the children what ideas they have for things they would like to try with the Batakas. Weigh whether these also fit your intention. It is then important to establish rules together to create a framework in which all children feel safe and comfortable. <\/p> Rules for Batakas:<\/h3> To provide a safe environment, it is important to ensure fair conduct. The rules are discussed together with the children. Children should also have the opportunity to express their own limits, which can lead to additional rules. Important points to note are: <\/p> No sharp objects or jewelry to be worn<\/li> Create fair conditions regarding age, size, strength. Adjustments, e.g. by an adult caregiver, adapt to the abilities of the weaker participant <\/li> A duel takes place between 2 people<\/li> Duel partners are asked beforehand if they want to participate <\/li> Start only when both are ready<\/li> A start word is agreed - tip: with a prior high-five or handshake <\/li> A "stop" must be accepted & ends a duel immediately <\/li> The Batakas should strike each other only or at most predetermined body areas agreed together <\/li> Taboos: sensitive body areas such as the face or genitals <\/li> Define room boundaries<\/li> No outsiders enter the area<\/li> <\/ul> <\/p> Emotional & social learning objectives with Batakas:<\/h2> Controlled release of anger & annoyance<\/h4> With our anger clubs, children, adolescents and adults receive an appropriate channel for dissipating rising aggression. In playful one-on-one combat with adult caregivers or peers, frustration can be released together. The Batakas help to prevent swallowing up or suppressing anger. It is also no longer necessary for frustration to shift uncontrolled into destructive aggression. With our anger clubs you create new paths toward more balance and a healthy handling of one’s own feelings. <\/p> Experience respect & fairness<\/h4> With our anger clubs, children, adolescents and adults experience their own limits and those of others. These should be expressed and respected. In the playful duel, a strengthening foundation is thus formed, from which future conflict situations can benefit. <\/p> <\/p> Together. Roughhousing. Measuring strength. With the Bataka anger clubs from KRAFT.<\/strong>

Aggression rolls – tire out safely & softly High-quality foam roll in a durable cover Our aggression rolls provide the necessary padding and sufficient safety in action-packed situations thanks to the soft foam core. Durable faux leather covers ensure long-lasting use. To give the rolls a good grip, they are equipped with two loops. These are tear-resistantly sewn and feel comfortable in the hand. To facilitate hygienic use in schools, youth welfare facilities and clubs, you can simply wipe the aggression rolls with everyday cleaning agents. Possible uses Anti-aggression training Children sometimes experience feelings as overwhelming. A feeling like anger causes rising stress that makes thinking difficult and a conversation only possible after the stress hormones have subsided. When schoolchildren learn strategies to lower their stress level, escalating situations can be reduced and a healthy, socially competent way of dealing with things can be implemented. Movement in particular can help reduce the stress hormones that have built up. The two soft foam rolls provide a secure foundation for guided handling of anger, frustration and emerging aggression. Train self-defense & confidence Our aggression rolls are ideal for role plays in which children practice dealing with boundary-crossing behavior. One exercise could look like this: A schoolchild approaches their counterpart with the aggression roll. The other person senses inwardly when it becomes too close. Then it is discussed how to clearly and firmly say "Stop" and how to put distance between oneself and the other person with the hands if the boundary continues to be crossed. Strengthening & testing strength Measuring strength through dueling and comparing with others is part of human nature. You can notice this with schoolchildren too. To ensure this happens within a safe framework, our robust aggression rolls support you in providing children with the necessary equipment so they can have fun fights and at the same time playfully strengthen their muscles. If the children step onto a balance beam, a tree trunk or something similar during this, you create a fun challenge that also promotes balance and, by focusing on their own body, can boost self-confidence and automatically reduce the force used against the playmate. Action. Safe. Tire out. With the aggression rolls from KRAFT.
