Gonge believes that every child is unique an deserves individual attention to help them develop while they play. For this reason, their products are carefully designed to challenge children's physical limits, develop their cognitive skills and encourage social interaction. Gonge products inspire children to start balancing, climbing, crawling, jumping, bouncing, spinning, walking on tip-toe, dancing, and being physically active in as many ways as the imagination and body function will allow! Gonge products can be used for anything from free play to specific therapy and structured training. Children will develop physical strength and motor skills - including weight transfer, familiarity with heights, physical coordination and agility - as well as sensorimotor abilities such as an awareness of posture, and a sense of touch and balance.
Physical activity often involves social interaction. Children compete, race, role-play and perform. Group play will help to teach them cooperation and coordination, based on physical interaction. They will learn by imitating the actions of others - probably our most basic way of learning!
Body and mind cannot be seen as separate. Basic cognitive functions, such as memory, concentration, problem solving and spatial orientation are all vital for many of the physical activities inspired by Gonge. This can be anything from estimating the distance before a jump to developing new language skills when naming, sorting, and describing a physical activity. And creativity is stimulated when imagination or curiosity is required, as well as when the physical activity is driven by performing or storytelling.
Integrating physical activity with teaching has also been recognized as a learning tool with considerable motivational potential, and sensorimotor training improves learning through stimulation of the brain.
To Gonge, quality is about more than just using the best materials. That's why they work with teachers, physical therapists, industrial designers and engineers to ensure that design, functionality and a concept they call "play value" are built into everything they produce. Their products are timeless, sustainable, and durable.
