Movemement room
and course location
in Skanderborg
Denmark
Welcome!
The Pikler Hengstenberg Institute offers courses and lectures that
can prepare pedagogues, teachers and parents alike for the manifold challenges that children present us with. Our highly developed
technical world floods children with information, but a childs necessity for self-exploration and self-experience requires explicit
body and movement generated sensory impressions that technically supplied information cannot replace
.
The materials in this catalogue were developed by the members of
the Basis Gemeinde Wulfshagenerhtten, a shared living and work
based community founded on the basis of Christian ideals. Their
community focus makes it possible to produce these goods with
intensive 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 equipment and experience the many possibilities shown in the catalogue.
At Pikler Hengstenberg Institute we combine skills with movement
pedagogues, therapists and artists who work together with the
goal of child development enhancement

Repairs
If a part is damaged, it can easily be replaced (i.e. wheels, grips,
axels, materials, etc.). This means: Repairs are worthwhile.
Environmental compatibility
We exclusively treat the wooden surfaces with natural and environmentally safe linseed oil varnish. It penetrates into the
pores of the wood and protects from the inside out. The wood
can breathe and radiates its natural warmth.

We build:
Play materials which are not a "consumer" good
- but encourage a child's own inner and outer activity as
well 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. Throughout
the years their creativity in playing must grow.
Play material, which is comprehendable and variable
due to simple build and construction. The children should
come to discover and determine the function of their
play material themselves - and in this way create their
own play environment independently.
Play material that encourages and utilizes a childs joy in
movement.
In building, re-building, pulling, pushing, driving, balancing, 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 playing ideas. The enactment of these ideas is dependent
upon the participation of many hands, arms and feet!

The various sizes of spacings together with the natural material invite the child to investigate
the ball by grasping, turning, and
passing it from one hand to the
other. Because the Pikler Ball is
very light, it does not roll far away. The ball is suitable for the first, tentative touching experiences (i.e.. eye hand co-ordination). When the
children become older, they can easily dismantle" the ball and then
they need other playthings.

Fundamental to Emmi Pikers early childhood care is the establishment of an intense contact during the pedagogy situation as well as the recognition of the
child in his self-induced activity in free play and movement. In order to provide
institutions with suitable environments for these basic activities, we have been
working together with two manufacturers: Martin Plackner (Austria) and the Basisgemeinde Wulfshagenerhtten (Germany).
But, utilizing these materials is not straight forward. It requires special pedagogical knowledge to be able to discern at which age and under which conditions the
children can benefit from them. Apart from the development of the materials and
furniture it is equally important to us that the institutions attain knowledge about
the pedagogical methods themselves.

Hengstenberg
Movement Equipment
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 selfexploration. Instead of trying to correct at-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.

Since 1991 we have been manufacturing the Hengstenberg movement apparatus in cooperation with movement professionals and
therapists: ladders, stools, chicken ladders, balancing poles all
provide enticement for the children to creep, crawl, climb, hang,
swing and jump.
All of the apparatus can be combined together and serve as versatile and mobile elements. They offer the children the possibility
of creating movement landscapes themselves - that allow them
to unfold their joy of movement and movement skills and then
explore these self constructed landscapes at their own pace and
following their own dynamic.

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 way
of carrying out a task. Thus objects can even act as words that can help to change a
childs behavior, when the childs own being would otherwise stand in the way of his own
improvement.
In order to make this way of working accessible to kindergartens and schools, the
Basisgemeinde 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 participated in publishing various books about Pikler Pedagogy (German language). She
teaches extensively about Pikler and Hengstenberg and is active in the Pikler Organization.

Beaver Blocks
"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
Building is an elementary part of childrens play. It inspires children to take part in independent fantasy-filled experimenting. It is significant that simple and unfinished building materials leave the children free to unfold their own fantasy and
constructive imagination.
When building, the children experience fundamental laws of
statics and mathematics through trial and error. In this way a
wide range of knowledge is acquired about spatial relationships starting with: large - small, right - left, up - down, back
front; as well as about the composition and stability of various materials.
The children select different forms and sizes when building
and compare various volumes and surfaces. Thus they develop through play the ability to classify and to organize.

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
Curtains GS 384
Playstands GS 380

Role playing
Playing is not only the fundamental basis for the learning
and education processes, but it is learning in itself. This
type of learning is especially intensive, because it is initiated through internal drive and enthusiasm. Play does
not have its own goal as such, but it is meaningful. It is
goal-less, because playing is a process the goal of which
is engagement in this process. And it is meaningful, because play is the childs own means of getting to know the
world.
In role playing the child is actively engaged with his
environment: I am the Mummy and you are the Daddy and You are the child whose birthday it is today.
Other people and their behavior are imitated. In this way
the child learns how to deepen his connection to surrounding life situations and how to get to know them
from another perspective. In shaping his own role from
within during play, the child can re-live and thus work

Play Stands
Children like to arrange their own play areas. The concept of variable
play stands makes this possible: two or more stands can be connected with wicker rattan in this way.
Place a large play cloth over the play stands, and one has made a
house, a cave, a doll corner, a new space.
A market can be built easily: 3 Round Rods are stuck into the
upper beam. Outside one can create a sun shade.

With the curtains the variable
play stands can be changed
into a puppet theater, a window with curtains, a room
divider, etc.

Statt die Kinder zur Nachahmung vorgefertigter Turnbungen zu bewegen, gibt ihnen Elfriede Hengstenberg
vielfltige Gelegenheiten zum eigenstndigen Erproben und zum spielerischen Entfalten eigener Handlungsmglichkeiten. Statt ihre Senkfe, ihre schiefen Hften oder schlaffen Rcken durch rigide Haltungsvorschriften von auen

allmhlich das Geheimnis der aktiven Aufrichtung aus eigenem Antrieb.

Warranty and Customer Service
There 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 children
confront 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 us
immediately, damage can usually be kept to a minimum, allowing us to deliver spare parts or make the necessary repairs.
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 and
then 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.
