K-TEC Gears 7+

73-piece set

Variant: Standard

K-TEC Gears - Interlocking bricks for schoolchildren 14 complex, functioning models with building instructions K-TEC makes mechanics tangible. The Gears 7+ describes the following models step by step in the instructions: The car The scale The piston engine The eye roll The winch The letter scale The wind wheel The rolling mill The mixer The drill The crane The level crossing The lifting table The carousel With our high-quality interlocking bricks, students recreate exciting models that not only look cool but also work. For example, the rolling mill invites you to check the function using strips of paper. Eagerly, the students turn the little wheel and proudly discover that the paper is rolled into waves and fed out at the other end of their built rolling mill. Durable interlocking bricks for schools Our K-TEC bricks impress with high-quality materials. They are robust and withstand daily constructing over time. All parts combinable without special connector pieces Instead of complicating the implementation of your own ideas or making them difficult due to missing connection options, K-TEC offers students the possibility to connect the interlocking bricks together in versatile ways. The unique plug system consists of a special formula that allows students to combine the different bricks with each other as they wish. Also compatible with other K-TEC bricks The plug-in bricks can be connected in many ways. This allows you to combine our K-TEC sets and offer students further creative connection possibilities. What makes K-TEC interlocking bricks so popular Building fun for young & old K-TEC excites — at any age. The appealing components encourage children and adults to try out exciting possibilities and turn creative ideas into tangible constructions. The K-TEC Midi to Maxi provides the ideal basis and can be expanded at will with perfectly matched sets. The first experiences for nursery children can be ideally supported with K-TEC Baby 1+. And as soon as toddlers enjoy imaginative combining, you promote the imagination and fine motor skills of the little builders with K-TEC Baby to Maxi 2+. In addition, the Midi Maxi racing vehicles and the Midi Maxi construction vehicles provide special highlights and driving fun for girls and boys. And schoolchildren also gain valuable insights through K-TEC. With sets like the K-TEC Gears 7+, mathematical and technical topics become tangible, as functioning mechanisms create excitement and fascination. A wonderfully versatile system whose enthusiasm knows no age. Creative ideas that work Creativity is an essential part of successful development. Students constantly face new challenges for which creative solutions must be found. Creative play provides the ideal practice area for discovering one's own ideas and creating new possibilities. K-TEC is specifically designed to accompany students in these developmental steps and let them discover their own creativity with joy. It plays a decisive role to have versatile options at hand that enable the implementation of new ideas. Cool functions & exciting mechanical experiences With K-TEC, fantasies become reality. Creating constructions like helicopters or an elephant is much more fun when they gain realism through moving propellers and advancing legs. This is not only incredibly fun but also offers the opportunity to understand and successfully implement mechanical functions. Quick successes that motivate One of the brilliant advantages of K-TEC is that it can provide even impatient children with great success experiences with just a few parts. This strengthens self-confidence, promotes a positive self-image and a sense of self-efficacy. A powerful drive to continue building and testing new possibilities. This strengthens concentration, frustration tolerance, and awakens the desire for new projects worth sticking with. Experienceable. Exciting. Mechanical. This is the K-TEC Gears 7+ from KRAFT.

Fröbelturm made of solid wood

Fröbelturm made of solid wood - tower-building game The Fröbelturm has rightly 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. Erecting the Fröbelturm together in cooperative teamwork The aim of the game is to build a tower from the blocks. To achieve this, strings are used to control a hook. The hook fits into the notches of the blocks and is used to build the tower. With combined strength, one block after another is placed on the hook and stacked with the 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 common 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 shared goal. The collective drive and the resulting sense of togetherness are quickly awakened by the Fröbelturm. A feeling that connects. Change of perspective & empathy: While building the Fröbelturm, the perspective of others is taken into account. If one side, for example, needs to pull tightly, the other lets go. Players learn to think holistically and to put themselves in the position of others. verbal & non-verbal communication: Because everyone must pull together, the necessary cooperation and communication are required. Players bring their own ideas, but must agree on a common direction. It is important to take in what fellow players say and also to express one’s own views to the group. Communication can be verbal but also non-verbal. One of the many game variants even relies on silence during play. An exciting form of implementation. Here the focus is placed once again 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 living, democratic community. Problems are recognized and solutions are devised together. Solutions that sometimes require 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 achieve 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 yields valuable insights. Who plans first and who jumps 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. Achieving goals together and celebrating success Finally it stands there: The Fröbelturm! Who achieved that? Us.A sense of achievement that strengthens groups. Groups from 4 to 24 people from age 6 The Fröbelturm is suitable for different group sizes. With 4 players the fun can already begin and it works just as well 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. Because belonging is good for everyone. Versatile applications and play options incl. instructions The Fröbelturm is suitable for a wide variety of groups—schools, kindergartens, seminars, sports teams or with colleagues. The versatile team game is an enrichment for every group. Another genius of the Fröbelturm: It is quick and easy to explain. You will receive the Fröbelturm including instructions. These show, alongside interesting facts and inspiring ideas, practical uses and play options. For example, the Fröbelturm can be built using each player’s weak hand or completely non-verbally. A game with many facets. High-quality hardwood blocks made in the EU & sustainable transport routes With carefully selected materials, KRAFT’s Fröbelturm stands for long durability and robust play. The blocks are made of attractive beech wood. We source this based on sustainable production steps within Europe. To ensure longer durability, the wood is coated with lacquer.

Maxi hourglasses

6-run-times set

Maxi hourglasses - colorful set with 6 large hourglasses Various run times: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 & 30 minutes With our Maxi hourglasses you remain flexible. You can on the one hand use different time windows and on the other hand run several 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 clearly 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 additionally protected by being embedded on a 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 even for children and adults at a distance. Also available in an even larger size Our beautiful hourglasses are also available as a 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 an initial sense of time. Because that is not so easy. We notice that ourselves when a dance lesson is over and you feel like it only lasted fifteen minutes. 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 also becomes visible to kids through our Maxi hourglasses. Our Maxi hourglasses thus become a colorful, visual support for temporal sequences or procedures. It is best to use the Maxi hourglasses as timers for carrying out tasks and first 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 the experiences made. An aspect that is of great importance especially in the digital world. Computer science education begins with understanding the basics. The holistic approach of our Koordinatus does exactly that: it conveys basic knowledge to understand computational procedures in playful steps. In doing so, the children use different forms of movement instead of, for example, engaging exclusively cognitively with Bee Bots.

How it works

The implementation of our computer science game is simple and easy to understand. The Koordinatus can be used as a playful project in the STEM area over several activities and days. The clear short instructions are 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 conducted in a small group (e.g. 4 or 6 children) so that everyone can participate equally actively and collaborate cooperatively. The modules build on each other and include various topics such as understanding a table and the programming language (see learning content). Modules can be repeated, supplemented, or worked on selectively according to individual needs. The computational learning content is experienced on the game board through conversations, active contribution, and the implementation of ideas full of movement.

Record learning progress with documentation aids

Our Koordinatus includes clear documentation sheets as reproducible templates. These offer educators a practical support to document learning progress in a targeted way.

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 through the video available on this page. In addition, you will receive an education folder with your Koordinatus. This contains quick and easy-to-understand brief 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 receive 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 subsequent learning content on computer science and other skills in the mathematical and digital domain. In addition, movement activities are integrated and collaborative work, as well as the 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 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 skills, using pictograms & inventing movements

The children memorize a path that they previously marked on the table with small path markers. Afterwards the markers are removed. The children develop ideas on how they can move along this path. Then they follow the path using the conceived form of movement, e.g. on tiptoe, backwards or hopping. Additionally, picture cards are used that depict small pictograms. Each pictogram represents a task, e.g. clapping or jumping jacks. The pictograms are placed on the squares of the path and performed when that table cell is reached.

Discover digital devices like robots in everyday life

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

Getting to know programming language

Children learn playfully that a robot is controlled by command formulations which it then executes.

Learning to understand computer programs

With our computer science game, children learn by 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.

The collaboration between human & robot

The children develop a complex procedure that is playfully executed as a robot on the table. A program can thus consist of the following command cards: forward, bend down & pick something up, forward, hop, turn right, do jumping jacks, etc. They take on the roles of both the programming human and the executing robot.

Reflect & raise 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 are good at.

Co-constructive working

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

Why are programming & computer science important for children?

Understanding the world

Children grow up in a digitized world. They need to learn to understand it from an early age in order to navigate it competently. A basic understanding of the underlying processes 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 the 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 a computer or robot commands by entering code and thereby 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... :)
