Fröbelturm made of solid wood

Fröbelturm made of solid wood - tower building game The Fröbelturm has surely earned its place among the most popular team games. Its easy-to-understand rules and many possible uses combine exciting fun with active team building. Build the Fröbelturm together in cooperative teamwork The goal of the game is to build a tower from the blocks. To achieve this, cords are used to control a hook. The hook fits into the notches of the blocks and is used to construct the tower. With combined forces, one block after another is placed on the hook and stacked with utmost concentration. This can create quite a thrill. An exciting game whose goal can only be reached together. On top: To improve success, we provide the top surface of the hardwood blocks with crossed notches. This allows a fallen block to be easily set upright again using the hook. Strengthening team building & the individual A shared goal that connects: Feeling connected to the group. A valuable feeling that can arise even when the players do not yet know each other. Through a common goal. The collective ambition and the resulting sense of togetherness are quickly sparked by the Fröbelturm. A feeling that unites. Change of perspective & empathy: When building the Fröbelturm, the perspective of others is taken into account. If, for example, one side has to pull tightly, the other eases off. Players learn to think holistically and to put themselves in the other person’s position. verbal & nonverbal communication: Since everyone has to pull together, cooperation and communication are required. The players bring in their own ideas but must agree on a common direction. It is important to take on board what fellow players say and to express one’s own views to the group. Communication can be verbal but also nonverbal. One of the many game variants relies on not speaking during play. An exciting form of implementation. Here the focus is once again placed on learning to read the other players correctly and to express oneself through body language. Creating and implementing solutions together: The Fröbelturm serves as a practical example of a lively, democratic community. Problems are identified and solutions are devised together. Solutions that sometimes demand compromise and train the adaptability of individual players. But this does not always mean conforming; presenting one’s own ideas also leads the group to exactly the solutions needed to reach the common goal. Getting to know the players: The Fröbelturm is a valuable tool for getting to know the players and offers the opportunity to better understand team constellations. Observing the gameplay provides valuable insights. Who plans first and who throws themselves straight into action? Who is patient, who is impatient?Who takes which role? How are one’s own mistakes handled? And those of others? This helps to better understand teams and to support individual players specifically in their development. Achieve goals together and celebrate success There it finally stands: the Fröbelturm! Who managed that? We did.A sense of achievement that strengthens groups. Groups of 4 to 24 people from 6 years old The Fröbelturm is suitable for different group sizes. From 4 players the fun can already begin and it doesn’t stop even with large groups. The Fröbelturm can be played with up to 24 players. It is suitable for players from 6 years old. There is no upper age limit. After all, belonging is good for everyone. Versatile uses and gameplay possibilities incl. instructions The Fröbelturm is suitable for a wide range of groups—schools, kindergartens, seminars, sports teams or colleagues at work. This versatile team game is an enrichment for any group. Another brilliance of the Fröbelturm: it is quick and easy to explain. Nevertheless, you receive the Fröbelturm including instructions. These show, alongside interesting facts and inspiring ideas, practical usage and gameplay possibilities. For example, the Fröbelturm can be built using each player’s weak hand or entirely nonverbally. A game with many facets. High-quality hardwood blocks made in the EU & sustainable transport routes With consciously selected materials, the Fröbelturm from KRAFT stands for long durability and robust play pleasure. The blocks are made from attractive beech wood. We source this based on sustainable production steps within Europe. To ensure longer durability, the wood is coated with a varnish.

Maxi Hourglasses

6-duration set

Maxi Hourglasses - colorful set with 6 large hourglasses Different durations: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 & 30 minutes With our Maxi hourglasses you stay flexible. On the one hand you can set different time windows and on the other hand run multiple hourglasses at the same time. 6 radiant colors Each of the large hourglasses has its own color. This allows even the youngest children to better distinguish the different times. The following colors are included in our hourglass set: red, orange, green, yellow, blue & purple. This also makes the sand highly visible. Sturdy hourglasses made from high-quality materials Our large hourglasses are made of shatterproof plastic. This protects the hand-blown glass through which the colored sand flows. The glass is also protected by embedding it on the cushioning foam core. How large the hourglasses are Each of our Maxi hourglasses is 16 cm high and 8 cm wide. That makes them a real eye-catcher and still clearly visible for children and adults at a distance. Also available in even larger size Our beautiful hourglasses are also available as{{ link::product id='302-195' text=' Jumbo Hourglass' }} in the dimensions 30 x 13.5 cm. Using hourglasses with children Developing a sense of time 'Time flies today.' Ah yes, and what exactly is that supposed to mean? Our Maxi hourglasses help children develop a first sense of time. Because that's not so easy. We notice that ourselves when a dance lesson is over and you feel like it only lasted a quarter of an hour. The Maxi hourglasses help children recognize when three minutes have passed or how long it feels when the sand trickles from top to bottom for thirty seconds. And how much sand is actually one minute? That too becomes visible to kids through our Maxi hourglasses. Our Maxi hourglasses thus become a colorful, visual support for temporal processes or procedures. You best use the Maxi hourglasses as a timer for carrying out tasks and initial time-management experiences. Sturdy. Fascinating. Versatile. These are the Maxi hourglasses from KRAFT.

Koordinatus - Basic Computer Science Education for Children

Better than learning robots

It has already been scientifically proven that we experience and understand learning content better through active doing. The use of movement supports and deepens these experiences. An aspect that is particularly important in the digital world. Computer science education begins with understanding the basics. The holistic approach of our Koordinatus does exactly this: conveying basic knowledge to understand computational procedures in playful steps. In doing so, the children use different forms of movement instead of, for example, engaging with Bee Bots exclusively on a cognitive level.

How it works

The implementation of our computer science game is simple and easy to understand. The Koordinatus can be used as a playful STEM project across several activities and days. The clear short instruction is divided into 7 modules. These are carried out with the same group of children. The number varies depending on age and group composition, but it should be carried out in a small group (e.g. 4 or 6 children) so that everyone can participate equally and collaborate as partners. The modules build on each other and cover various topics such as understanding a table and the programming language (see learning content). Modules can be repeated, supplemented, or addressed individually. The computer science learning content is experienced on the game board through conversations, active contribution and implementation of ideas with plenty of movement.

Record learning progress with documentation aids

Our Koordinatus includes clear documentation sheets as photocopiable templates. These provide educators with a practical support to deliberately document learning progress.

Simple instructions in print & insight via video

With the Koordinatus you can get started quickly. Even without much preparation time. To understand the concept, you will find a practical insight via the video available on this page. In addition, you will receive an education folder with your Koordinatus. It contains quick and easy-to-understand short instructions for each module. So you can get started in just a few minutes.

Learning content

Topic: digitalization with preschool & primary school children

With our Koordinatus you get an easily implementable learning game that enables children to develop an understanding and awareness of the basics of our digital world. This forms the basis for all learning content on computer science and further skills in the mathematical and digital fields. In addition, movement sequences are integrated and collaborative work, as well as exchange and reflection on these topics, are encouraged.

Learning spatial orientation & understanding tables

In the first module, the children develop an understanding of their body's position in space. This is experienced using the table. Here the children understand how a table works and move playfully across the rows and columns.

Planning, acting strategically & checking results

The children plan a path across the individual table cells by drawing it on template cards. Then they execute it on the large playing field and walk the painted route.

Memory, using pictograms & inventing movements

The children memorize a path that they previously marked on the table using small path markers. Afterwards the markers are removed. The children develop ideas for how they can move along this path. Then they follow the path using the chosen movement form, e.g. on tiptoes, backwards or hopping. In addition, image cards are used that depict small pictograms. Each pictogram represents a task, e.g. clapping or doing a star jump. The pictograms are placed on the fields of the path and executed upon reaching that table cell.

Discover digital devices like robots in everyday life

The children develop an awareness of where digital devices like helper machines (e.g. vacuum robots) accompany our everyday life. They also learn the meaning of input, processing and output that underlies the digital world and on which these devices operate.

Get to know programming language

Children learn playfully that a robot is controlled by formulating commands which it then executes.

Learn to understand computer programs

With our computer science game, children learn through laying command cards how a computer program is structured. The command cards are placed in a self-created order and then transferred to the table game board where they are executed.

Collaboration between humans & robots

The children work out a complex procedure that is playfully executed on the table as a robot. Thus a program can consist of the following command cards: move forward, bend down & pick something up, move forward, jump, turn right, do a star jump, etc. They take on both the role of the programming human and that of the executing robot.

Reflect & create awareness

At the end of the project, the group reflects on the experiences made and exchanges the thoughts that arise. For example, what a human and what a robot does well.

Co-constructive working

The children verbalize the experiences, exchange ideas with each other and jointly consider regularities and rules.

Why is programming & computer science important for children?

Understanding the world

Children grow up in a digitalized world. They need to learn to understand it from an early age in order to navigate it competently. A basic understanding of the processes involved creates an ideal foundation for subsequent school education, understanding digital devices in the private sphere and supports an awareness in the further development and digitalization of our society.

Computer science explained simply

Computer science is the science of systematic representation, storage, processing and transmission of information, with a particular focus on automatic processing with computers. One subfield is programming.

Programming explained simply

Programming means giving commands to the computer or robot by entering code and thus creating games, programs and websites or controlling robots. The code consists of characters and symbols that stand for specific commands.

Wir haben den Koordinatus bestellt, weil wir das Thema Programmieren unseren Kindern näher bringen wollen. Das Prinzip haben wir dank der Anleitung sehr gut selbst verstanden. Die Kinder hatten viel Freude beim Spielen und automatisch ein Verständnis für das ganze Thema Digitalisierung erworben. Ein voller Erfolg für unsere Kita. Sogar die Eltern der Kinder sind glücklich... :)
