{"title":"Kinderfeets","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn in the Netherlands where a love for biking was fostered early on, Founder and Owner Oscar V. Mulder was determined as a young parent to cultivate an appreciation for adventurous learning in his son, Sebastiaan. What started 10 years ago as a one-time project to build Sebastiaan his own balance bike has developed into a thriving children’s company that inspires little ones across the world. Today, Oscar uses his 20 years of international brand design experience to manage Kinderfeets – a sustainable business manufacturing active toys and learning tools that support children in their pursuit of independence, confidence and development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInspired by traditional Dutch bikes, Kinderfeets is a play on words for the Dutch word “kinderfiets,” which translates to “child’s bike.” From the outside, Kinderfeets’ bikes, trikes and other products may appear simple in design, but the purposeful characteristics of each one ensure child safety and low environmental impact.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrafted with non-timber bamboo and\/or birch wood, our balance bikes and trikes are suited with low step-through frames, adjustable seats, foot pegs, biodegradable tires and padded handlebars that guarantee comfort and stability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Why bamboo?” you might ask. Well, the answer is pretty simple.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBamboo is extremely adaptable and resilient, grows incredibly fast and has the ability to self-regenerate! It also doesn’t require toxic chemicals or artificial pesticides for growth and maintenance, which makes it both toxin-free and more cost effective. In comparison to other hardwoods, it’s much more flexible (even though it has dense fibers) and it’s also pest resistant. When we’re not utilizing bamboo, we use sustainable birch wood – another fast-growing and eco-friendly option - or German beech wood from FSC-certified factories.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOther products like our Waldorf-Classroom-inspired Kinderboard offer little ones an active and imaginative play experience that is hard to beat! Our additional baby walkers, bike accessories and educational playthings inspire motor and cognitive skill development while also cultivating an appreciation for adventure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFurther environmentally-friendly practices like using non-toxic, water-based paints and lacquers, minimal packaging and recycled paper for product information not only help illustrate our sustainable business approach but also set children up for a lifetime of planet-friendly living. Furthermore, part of our annual profits is put toward Trees for the Future – a nonprofit organization that partners with businesses like us to plant trees and combat deforestation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt Kinderfeets, we believe that a life without training wheels is a life fully explored – it’s a journey bravely ventured, a pursuit of freedom and a quest for independence. For a child to explore the world on their own is a courageous choice – serendipitously guiding themselves toward self-assurance and accomplishment!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNevertheless, it’s not only Kinderfeets children who go far, but all of us who choose to let go of a little control and release our inner childlike spirit. If we are all willing to challenge our own complacencies and comforts in an effort to grow, we will evolve and change as one. By doing so, we will help create a more vibrant and beautiful world for our children one balance bike at a time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kinderfeets-kinderboard-balance-board-bamboo","title":"Kinderfeets Kinderboard - Balance Board - Bamboo","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% BAMBOO.

More recently this multi-use toy was revived for use in Waldorf (Steiner) early childhood classrooms. A Kinderboard helps children develop a sense of balance, stimulate their vestibular system, and gain a deeper awareness of their body and body parts. You can rock it. Balance on it. Push it. Spin it. Flip it and slide. Sit on it or use it like a foot stool. These sturdy beech plywood boards keep energetic children engaged in creative play for hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKinderboards are Dutch designed and recreate the same experience as the original concept. They're excellent for stimulating child development - both physical and mental - and offer open-ended play opportunities for toddlers, children, teens, and even adults. You can use a Kinderboard both indoors and out, perfect for rainy and sunny days at home or in a school environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWatch a child's imagination take over when their Kinderboard arrives. It becomes a seesaw, a balance board, a slide, a step stool, a boat, a resting place, a doll bed, a puppet stage, a tunnel and many more opportunities for them to explore.

Bamboo is also eco-friendly in many ways. It produces more oxygen and absorbs more carbon dioxide than trees. While hard wood takes 30-50 years to mature, bamboo takes between 3-5 years and requires no pesticides or chemicals to encourage the maturation process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafted from skilfully engineered and sustainably sourced bamboo plywood that's finished with a protective lacquer stain.
