Children have a need to move! By using "Wobble Seats", the movement is natural and easy! Let's meet the needs of our 21st century learners by allowing them to move! By adding a wobble seat to each child's desk, the student naturally gets more work done as they can comfortable move as they work. Students will also engage in working their core naturally as they work. Long gone are the traditional desk and chair set ups. Let's keep moving forward and meeting the needs of today's students! In addition, the children love the choices that the wobble seats give them. I currently have about 10 seats and would love to get up to 10 more so that almost all students can reap the benefits of movement!
