Our children are tiny geniuses – because at 3 years old, they've got double the number of connections between the individual nerve cells than adults do! In this time, the young world explorers' curiosity and learning skills are especially pronounced. Children are naturally inquisitive and experience great joy in expanding their cognitive horizons.
Multifunctional motor activity boards replace more than a dozen individual toys with simpler functions that entertain kids aged 3 years and up in a particularly educational way. The simple function principle is easy to understand, even for the youngest children – which is how wooden motor activity boards quickly draw kids in and allow the parents to have an oasis of calm.

Motor activity boards speak to all the senses – especially the senses of touch and sight. They're the ideal preparation for the independent life that is to come. Children will playfully learn things such as how to dress, undress, and change clothes by working with the various ties and connectors. In addition, these motor activity boards – also known as Montessori boards – promote the development of endurance, attention, and concentration.
Motor activity boards satisfy the basic foundation of Montessori-style learning
"Help me do it all by myself" is the foundational principle of the Montessori learning technique that is becoming more and more popular and more widely used. Who hasn't heard of it by now? Locks and other everyday "grown-up objects" are always a huge hit with kids. A motor activity board offers them a safe space to try out these objects and other aspects of adult life and learn in a fun way.
Sensory motor activity boards from small foot awaken children's creativity, and can become the kids' favourite stationary toy and an eye-catcher on the nursery wall on the one hand, and the perfect "to go" secret recipe to fight boredom on long trips in the car or on a plane thanks to their compact size.
Good to know! 💡 Role-playing toys promote childhood development:
- Motor activity boards are an essential part of every nursery in the first years of a child's life because babies and toddlers learn primarily by imitating and trying things out independently.
- Turning gears and wheels, opening locks, and tying knots or loops with shoelaces trains hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity.
- Learning new motor skills encourages the establishment of more nerve connections in the brain, which also trains thinking abilities.
- Good motor activity toys are not just educational, but also fun! Motor activity boards from small foot are ideally suited for children aged 3 years old and under, since the focus is on the development of their fine motor skills.
- Motor activity toys made of durable, robust wood shine with a particularly pleasant haptic experience.
