Activities with Nature Log Balance Beams improve body movement, coordination, and stability. Walking on the Nature Logs enables children to feel their center of gravity and learn to keep balance. Patterns on Nature Logs provide different sensory input to feet. The Nature Logs Balance Beams can be arranged in multiple configurations and placed above or underneath the bases to create a variety of heights.

BENEFITS OF ERGOERGO ACCORDION STOOLS:
Experts agree that we need to strengthen, not “support” our bodies. We should sit up naturally, using our own core muscles instead of leaning passively against a seat back. On ErgoErgo, your body feels a new ease and freedom. The core muscles are engaged, the spine achieves its natural curve, the pelvis gently moves, and the legs stretch. Engage your core muscles, keep your spine supple, improve your circulation, and ease your breathing!
ErgoErgo is made of UV-stable recyclable techno-polymer and can be used indoors and outdoors! Once you sit on ErgoErgo, ordinary chairs seem well - just ordinary. It’s ergonomic, ergo, it’s made for you.
KIDS SIZE (15in Height)
The Kids ErgoErgo offers students the all the benefits of movement without the distraction! Students work on engaging their core while practicing good posture. These stools are great for fidgety students and the compact size is ideal for classrooms and libraries! Weight load up to 225 pounds.

Pedal Desk Benefits:
Brain Based Movement:
The pedal desk is designed specifically to put the brain and body into its most optimal learning state.
Promotes Low intensity steady state movement (LISS), crossing the midline, optimizes blood flow and oxygen to the brain, & Activates BDNF, coined "Miracle Gro" for the brain by Dr. John Ratey. BDNF activates the brain in the process known as neurogenesis- the growth of new brain cells.
Pedal Desk Features:
Manufactured in the USA - Action Based Learning is the Manufacturer of the Original Pedal Desk. All Pedal Desks are steel welded and built for high frequency use in school settings. Desks are designed to hold up against even the most "active" students. Includes 10 yr direct from mfg extended warranty and factory direct discounts for schools.
Designed specifically for this age group to support proper posture and movement appropriate for elementary age students.
Movement is user powered, there is no resistance on elementary pedal desks. Based on brain research, adding a certain level of exertion during the learning process can actually work to counteract the benefits of moving. The Pedal Desk for elementary students is designed to activate Low Intensity Steady State Movement (LISS). To learn more about LISS, view the Science and Research behind Action Based Learning)
Uses:
CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION Children with pedals under their desk can work their legs in a motion similar to a bicycle, while participating in classroom discussion, or doing their classwork. Desk is user powered, making movement optional! Although rare, students not interested in moving, have the option to relax and listen in class!
PARTNER WORK While one child pedals, their partner stands on a balance board on the opposite side of the pedal desk.
ADD ACADEMICS Teachers use the pedal movement to engage students in countless activities! For example: Students answer questions during instruction by either pedaling forward, backward, pausing, speeding up, or slowing down pedaling!
MORNING WAKE UP - Start the morning off right with a brain booster! Have students warm-up their brains with a Walk & Talk session ( suggested classroom activities provided by author Shoecraft, Lengel, Moize in ABL Books & Manuals)
GO FULLY KINESTHETIC! Outfit an entire classroom with multiperson pedal desks, and various movement stations (video below). Research indicates variety is KEY when implementing alternative seating and kinesthetic desks into an active classroom
OR START SMALL -start with 1 single pedal desk into your classroom & implement rotation schedule for all students to benefit from the movement!
