Pikler Hengstenberg Institute Denmark

Welcome!

The Pikler Hengstenberg Institute offers courses and lectures thatcan prepare pedagogues, teachers and parents alike for the mani-fold challenges that children present us with. Our highly developedtechnical world floods children with information, but a childs ne-cessity for self-exploration and self-experience requires explicit

body and movement generated sensory impressions that techni-cally supplied information cannot replace .

The materials in this catalogue were developed by the members ofthe Basis Gemeinde Wulfshagenerhtten, a shared living and workbased community founded on the basis of Christian ideals. Theircommunity focus makes it possible to produce these goods withintensive hand work in a Western European country.

Our location in Skanderborg is arranged as a movement room

where one can see and try out all the beautiful wooden equip-ment and experience the many possibilities shown in the cata-logue.

At Pikler Hengstenberg Institute we combine skills with movementpedagogues, therapists and artists who work together with thegoal of child development enhancement

Production in Germany

Our decision to produce our wooden play things in Germanywas deliberate. The production is characterized by intensivemanual work commencing with the sawmill planks and con-tinuing until the finishing touches are provided by hand pol-ishing. This creates employment opportunities in our area andreflects our desire to produce in a way that is environmentallysustainable. For us this means:

Wood attained from domestic forestsWe exclusively make use of wood from domestic and nearby

forests. We utilize all of the wood and sawdust that is left overduring production to heat our workshop and the houses of theBasisgemeinde Wulfshagenerhtten in a CO2-neutral manner.

StabilityAll of our playing equipment is made of solid wood - predomi-nantly ash and beech. The wooden joints areas that receivehigher stress - are worked with wood in wood pegs and thenstrengthened with additional screws and glue. We pay atten-tion to high quality in the accessory production (axles, wheels,materials, etc.) Thus our playing equipment can withstand the

high demand placed through kindergarten and school settingusage.

RepairsIf a part is damaged, it can easily be replaced (i.e. wheels, grips,axels, materials, etc.). This means: Repairs are worthwhile.

Environmental compatibilityWe exclusively treat the wooden surfaces with natural and en-vironmentally safe linseed oil varnish. It penetrates into thepores of the wood and protects from the inside out. The woodcan breathe and radiates its natural warmth.

A look inside our

carpentry workshop

The solid wood is coated with glue and then comes

into the woodworking glue press.

Manual work - also in the fine details: The stool

seating material is knotted and interlocked.

All our playing and movement materials correspond

to the valid European standards (CE).

The movement materials designed by E. Hengstenberg

(Art. No. Hg 800-840, 842-860, 880) are examined by the

TV Product Service Hamburg for their safety quality.

Plaything just as a commodity or for a childs true needs?

Playthings for Children for the Child

and from the Child

Children need only a few playthings. But these few thingsmust make true play possible they must allow childrento experience on their own, to try things out, to discover,to learn, to be creative - alone or together with others.Through the process of playing children receive a chanceto take part in the development of their own life.

A perfect toy causes boredom or destructiveness as the

only possibility of active participation."

Friedrich Frbel

We build:

Play materials which are not a "consumer" good- but encourage a child's own inner and outer activity aswell as the use and development. of his or her physical

and mental capacities.Play materials which are stable and safe.Children must be able to depend upon their play things.They identify themselves with the materials. Throughoutthe years their creativity in playing must grow.

Play material, which is comprehendable and variabledue to simple build and construction. The children shouldcome to discover and determine the function of theirplay material themselves - and in this way create theirown play environment independently.

Play material that encourages and utilizes a childs joy inmovement.In building, re-building, pulling, pushing, driving, balanc-ing, climbing, crawling, jumping - the child may engage

and develop his joy of movement.

Play materials that build the childrens relationships to

each other. Big toys allow children to act out their big play-ing ideas. The enactment of these ideas is dependentupon the participation of many hands, arms and feet!

The children have the valuable experience of lively socialinteraction when building caves - when driving wagons

Play material, which allows children to develop a senseof responsibility in learning how best to treat their toys.Children feel intuitively whether a play material should be

taken seriously or not. We build play material from wood,

because it brings the children in contact with naturally

grown substances: it has atmosphere, it radiates warmth.

Children can thus learn to understand the beauty, charac-

teristic and aliveness of wood during their playing activity.

Play material, which benefits all children.We decided to develop play material for public institu-tions that are openly accessible to all children. Thus weknow that our work benefits children from all differentsocial classes. Children who come from socially disadvan-taged families require exceptional guidance from adultsin order to be able to achieve true independence.

Play material with a concept the kindergarten as a play-space for movement.We have worked together with institutions for many

years and engage in direct contact with diverse peda-gogical methods and working professionals. In this waywe are attentively aware of the meaning and connectionbetween spatial arrangements and the developmentalpossibilities children can achieve in play.

Children need space.

But which types of spaces allow them to develop their

own independent self engagement in play?

Children need movement.But which quality of movement allows them to find an

inner balance and so achieve the freedom of movementand self-assurance that is essential for their develop-ment? With our play material we try to give answers tothese questions.

It is essential that the child is allowed to make as many discoveries as he can on his own. If we try to help

him with the fulfillment of all daily tasks, we rob the child of all that is vital for his independent psycho-

logical development. A child, who successfully achieves something through his own independent desire

of experiment, acquires a completely different quality of knowledge than one who is simply handed a

finished product.

The Pikler materials such as crawling crates, labyrinth andclimbing triangles - provide a diverse and wide-ranging en-vironment for children of this age and/or stage of develop-ment. Many of the materials illustrated here in this catalogueare used in the same or in a similar form in the Pikler Insti-tute and are further developed in co-operation with special-

ists working there.

Inquiries about further training as a Pikler pedagogue can bedirected to us. A portion of our product income goes to supportthe Pikler research and seminar activities.

Book recommendation:

Lat mir Zeit (Let me take my time)by E. Pikler

Emmi Pikler (1902 -1984) a pediatrician, was founder and year-long director of the home for infant orphans named Lczy inBudapest. Today Lczy - well known as Pikler Institute - is inter-nationally acclaimed in respect to its research and further train-ing of child caregivers.

The name Emmi Pikler stands for a change of consciousness inearly child education and care: an infant is to be taken seri-ously as a full human being from the moment of birth.

Due to her work advising families, Emmi Pikler soon recognizedhow valuable the self induced movement development of thechild is for his entire further personality development. If his/her need for security and protection is fulfilled by affectionatecaregivers during the care situation, then, in a well defined andprotected framework during the process of free play withothers it develops perseverance, self-assurance and dexterity.

The picture shows material appropriate for the crawling stage (not available from us).For toddlers play and movement belong together. Gross and fine motor skills activities take

place in turns and complement each other. That is why age appropriate movement materials andsufficient play materials belong in every group room. Everyday objects and smaller play materi-als in various forms and of different materials are appropriate for this. These should, accordingto the childs stage of development, be offered to the children, independently and within reach.

Fundamental to Emmi Pikers early childhood care is the establishment of an in-tense contact during the pedagogy situation as well as the recognition of thechild in his self-induced activity in free play and movement. In order to provideinstitutions with suitable environments for these basic activities, we have beenworking together with two manufacturers: Martin Plackner (Austria) and the Ba-sisgemeinde Wulfshagenerhtten (Germany).But, utilizing these materials is not straight forward. It requires special pedagogi-cal knowledge to be able to discern at which age and under which conditions thechildren can benefit from them. Apart from the development of the materials and

furniture it is equally important to us that the institutions attain knowledge aboutthe pedagogical methods themselves.

Since all tables are sized according to the same basic dimension,one can arrange the size and form of each group of tables de-pending uponthe group ofchildren and theavailable spaceconditions. (Seedrawing)

Eating Benches without tables

The Eating Bench can be fas-tened to the table so thatit cannot slip or be tipped.Thus the small children cansafely eat with the biggerones. The slightly higher floorboard brings them up to equalheight. This also supports andpromotes ergonomic sittingand relieves the kindergar-ten teachers back.Several Eating Benches canbe attached together -either next to each other or inthe L fashion.

Instead of letting the children imitate mechanically repetitive gym exercises, Elfriede Hengstenberg provided

them with manifold opportunities to develop their independent movement potential in a playful mood of self-

exploration. Instead of trying to correct flat-feet, crooked hips or crooked backs through giving them postural rules

to follow, she simply let them experiment on boards, rods, stools, etc. In this way they could slowly experience the

mystery of the self-induced active uprightness.

Elfriede Hengstenberg (1892-1992) was a gymnastic teacherin Berlin. She was driven by the desire to allow children to dis-cover and develop their own movement skills. In principle, Ilet the children explore and discover independently and sim-ply prepare materials and equipment designed to entice thechildren to experiment. (E. Hengstenberg)

By climbing through and over many adventurous obstaclesthe inquisitive children strive to discover the secret of inter-nal and external equilibrium. The children sensitize their entirephysical being. The soles of their bare feet bring them the un-derstanding of the different surfaces that they move over orthrough and therewith the sensitivity of their toes allowsthem to maintain a safe hold.

The stabilizing moment in all motion is the ability to maintainbalance, to abandon it, and then to find it again and again.

Whether on firm ground, when balancing on narrow rods,bending branches and ropes, during flight through the air, inwhirling tricks or on wheels - when challenges arise, the ten-sion develops: will it succeed? or not? That is adventure,lure and joy at the same time. Thus the children can progresson their own through external balance to the internal state ofsuch." (Uli Tritschler)

Since 1991 we have been manufacturing the Hengstenberg move-ment apparatus in cooperation with movement professionals andtherapists: ladders, stools, chicken ladders, balancing poles allprovide enticement for the children to creep, crawl, climb, hang,swing and jump.All of the apparatus can be combined together and serve as ver-

satile and mobile elements. They offer the children the possibilityof creating movement landscapes themselves - that allow themto unfold their joy of movement and movement skills and thenexplore these self constructed landscapes at their own pace andfollowing their own dynamic.

The Floor Material

The basic Floor Materials are an integral part of the Hengstenberg-Movementwork. Here the children can explore the dynamic of their sense of balance atheights that are not dangerous. The observing adult can easily recognize

what level of movement development a child has attained when he orshe moves over the wobbly and rocking Floor Materials.

Since the Floor Materials are made from solid wood, they can developsmall cracks when drying. This does not impair function.

Filled with fantasy and sensitivity Elfriede Hengstenberg presented the children tasks

and materials, with which they could expand their movement abilities at their own pace.This proves to be a reliable method, because objects are also subject to the laws of nature like gravity. Objects give a child direct feedback as to the correctness of his or her wayof carrying out a task. Thus objects can even act as words that can help to change achilds behavior, when the childs own being would otherwise stand in the way of his ownimprovement.In order to make this way of working accessible to kindergartens and schools, theBasisgemeinde Wulfshagenerhtten - together with a team of teachers and therapists- have further developed the Hengstenberg materials.

Elfriede Hengstenbergs pupil and publisher of the book " Entfaltungen", she has par-ticipated in publishing various books about Pikler Pedagogy (German language). Sheteaches extensively about Pikler and Hengstenberg and is active in the Pikler Organi-zation.

"A childs fantasy prefers an incomplete object

- for example a piece of wood for a doll -

because fantasy knows how to create the details."

Friedrich Frbel

Beaver Blocks


25/36

Building is an elementary part of childrens play. It inspires chil-dren to take part in independent fantasy-filled experiment-ing. It is significant that simple and unfinished building ma-terials leave the children free to unfold their own fantasy and

constructive imagination.

When building, the children experience fundamental laws ofstatics and mathematics through trial and error. In this way awide range of knowledge is acquired about spatial relation-ships starting with: large - small, right - left, up - down, back front; as well as about the composition and stability of var-ious materials.

The children select different forms and sizes when buildingand compare various volumes and surfaces. Thus they de-

velop through play the ability to classify and to organize.

Building makes the children clever - because grasping withthe hands and grasping a concept with understanding is notonly closely linked linguistically, but also on a neurophysi-ological level.

Evermore: when a child concentrates and quietly builds he isattentive to gravitational pull and forces and finds his owninternal plumb line. When the child works persistently to con-struct a tower, he experiences his own center of balance.

Our Beaver Blocks make this kind of building activity pos-sible. Blocks and Rods can be connected to construct a stur-dy building.

As reference: All the Blocks have the same basic dimension

(the multiple of 7). Thus even when building with differentsizes of Blocks the construction levels off.

Role Playing

"We mistakenly believe that adults have to help to teach children

how to play because we have too little notion of the potential for development

that each person brings into the world."

Heinrich Jacoby

Playstands GS 380

Curtains GS 384


30/36

Playing is not only the fundamental basis for the learningand education processes, but it is learning in itself. Thistype of learning is especially intensive, because it is in-itiated through internal drive and enthusiasm. Play does

not have its own goal as such, but it is meaningful. It isgoal-less, because playing is a process the goal of whichis engagement in this process. And it is meaningful, be-cause play is the childs own means of getting to know theworld.

In role playing the child is actively engaged with hisenvironment: I am the Mummy and you are the Dad-dy and You are the child whose birthday it is today.Other people and their behavior are imitated. In this waythe child learns how to deepen his connection to sur-

rounding life situations and how to get to know themfrom another perspective. In shaping his own role fromwithin during play, the child can re-live and thus work

through his own experiences. In everyday role playingchildren unfold their own dynamic fantasy-filled life.They first play out their role and then dare to go furtherin living out new lets pretend situations.

In addition roll playing involves complicated conversationamongst children. The children not only speak during play,but they speak about the playing situation I am goingto be Thus essential verbal communication skills aredeveloped and expanded.

It is our commitment to provide you and your organizati-on with the necessary support when arranging and cons-tructing spaces for role playing activities. We do this byproviding materials each of which can be utilized in a

manifold way and thereby make space for further expan-sion of the fantasy-filled role playing activity

Warranty and Customer ServiceThere is a two years warranty on our wooden playing equipment when subject to proper usage.Our materials are made from natural material. Because the wood is not sealed, the pores of the wood are open and the wood can breathe.Particularly in respect to long pieces of wood, the wood can react in various manners. Some parts are very stable, some are bendable.

Various degrees of flexibility and bending of the slides, bars, etc. do not provide reason for complaint. Those are parameters, which childrenconfront when climbing outside in nature. They are an expression of the natural quality of the materials.

As manufacturers we are eager to do long term follow up on our wooden playing equipment. Contact us: By getting in touch with usimmediately, damage can usually be kept to a minimum, allowing us to deliver spare parts or make the necessary repairs.

Servicing and maintenance of the play equipment

Depending upon usage of the play equipment you should consider the following:

Approx. every 6 months all the playing equipment that is treated with linseed oil should be re-oiled. Small scratches and

paint chips should be sanded smooth beforehand. This is best done by sanding following the grain of the wood with 80 andthen 120 grain sandpaper. Polish the wood afterwards with a few drops of linseed oil on a rag.Attention:Let the oiling rags dry out sufficiently, otherwise they can combust and cause fire.

Every 3 months all screws in the movement materials should be tested - and tightened if necessary. This is especially im

portant for all of the materials that can be hung up together. It is sufficient to tighten the screws of the roll playing furniture once a year.
