The kit helps children improve their balance.

4 beams, 4 bases, and foam animals for a variety of combinations.

Flexibility

This balance kit is great for helping children learn to balance and improve their psychomotor development from age 2.

"To verify the effectiveness of the kit, we did comparative tests with 18 children. 
Nine of them used the balance kit for 20 minutes twice a week for two months, while the other nine did not. The results were clear: the children who used the product for several weeks improved their balance much more than those who did not. "

Tested by children, approved by the pros.

“This balance kit lets children’s imaginations run free to build their own courses and create their own stories. They can start with the beams flat on the ground for reassurance. They can then be raised or used on the curved side to increase instability. The small animals, which they can jump over or catch, let them create their own stories." Annabel, Gym 101 product engineer.

Skill Level

Diameter (cm)

Picking the right size is easy: if you're less than 1.60 m tall and weigh less than 85 kg, choose size 1 (diameter: 55 cm); if you're between 1.60 and 1.80 m tall and weigh less than 85 kg, choose size 2 (diameter: 65 cm); if you're more than 1.70 m tall and weigh more than 85 kg, then size 3 (diameter:75 cm) is the one you need.

Which size Swiss Ball do you need?

First thing's first: we recommend using a pump, which is sold separately (product ref 8214626 or 8490986). Inflate your Swiss ball to its maximum size, using a tape measure to check its diameter. The maximum diameters for the different sizes are: size 1 = 55 cm, size 2 = 65 cm, and size 3 = 75 cm. Lastly, sit on the ball and check that your knees are at hip height. If they aren't, add or remove some of the air.

How to inflate your gym ball to a safe size?

Your Swiss ball comes with: a plug, plus a second one in case you misplace the first; a plug remover to easily remove the plug when you want to inflate/deflate the ball; a tape measure to make sure you've inflated your ball to the correct size; a user guide; and a poster with exercises.

Ball weight

Our ball is designed for fitness activities. It's therefore not suitable for office use. The constraints of using a Swiss ball in the office mean that we can't recommend doing so with this ball.

Why is the Swiss Ball not suitable for the office?

Don't worry!

This year, we're offering the option to buy plugs as spare parts from our stores' workshops.

Tightening Type

Between ages one and six, feet play an important role in children's development and growth. Our shoes address the specific needs of children's feet during their many development stages.

Shoes designed for young children's feet:

From 1 to 2 years (sizes US 4 to 7.5): learning to walk. Feet are flat, round, and chubby: our I LEARN shoes are extremely flexible to support children's natural development.
From 3 to 6 years (sizes US 8 to 12): mastery of walking, running, and jumping. The feet get stronger and more slender and the arch begins to form. Our I MOVE shoes are flexible and support the heel.

Which shoes should you choose for your child?

For children aged 3 to 6 who run and jump, you should choose a shoe that protects their feet while offering good freedom of movement. The Domyos I MOVE shoes also offer enhanced support at the back of the foot. Kids at this age are growing (height, weight) and increasing their physical activity (greater intensity and longer duration). They need more support and protection.

Characteristics of children's feet at ages 3 to 6: 

Very easy to check the size: remove the shoe's insole and put it on the ground; place your child's foot flat on top of it, with their heel level with the back of the insole; if their toes are in the shaded area at the other end of the sole, it's the right size! Remember to regularly check their shoe size. Kids' feet grow fastest between the ages of 1 and 3 years: check our size guide on our website.

Choosing the right shoe size

We are all born with flat feet. As we begin to walk, the arch gradually develops through the natural development of our foot muscles. This is why children's shoes do not need to have arch support when they are still growing (unless otherwise indicated by a healthcare professional).

Arch support or not?

Regular physical activity from a very young age is beneficial for your child's physical and mental development. Learning healthy habits early on can help limit health problems later in life. Doing group physical activity also supports your child's social integration and personal development.

The benefits of physical activity at a young age

"What are the physical benefits?

It enables children to have enough sensory redundancy to boost their proprioception.
Proprioception is necessary to meet major milestones in psychomotor development. This mat allows them to safely do these movements.
In this way, this stimulating mat helps develop your child's psychomotor development. 
This product has been approved by a physiotherapist.

How does this mat encourage your child's psychomotor development?

Children under the age of 4 must learn how to control their body and move in any given direction by slowly waddling forward on 2 feet.
At 4 years old, a child can walk, putting one foot in front of the other, on a path measuring at least a foot and a half wide. 
At 6 years old, a child can walk with one foot directly in front of the other, heel to toe, on a path as wide as their foot.

Stepping stones to dynamic balance

Children's psychomotor development is dependent on genetic, motor, and psychological factors.
A product can impact their psychomotor development if it targets their motor development.
Motor development has several major components: body schema, dynamic coordination, balance, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and spatio-temporal structure.

Psychomotor development:

The body schema is a representation of how children view their bodies. It gives them refined control of their movements, a perception of their body, and, more generally, self-awareness. It is built around experiences and actions ("body feels, body moves") before being represented and discussed ("body represented," draw-a-person test).
Every time children move, they refine their body schema and increase their chances of moving better in the future.

Body schema

Hand-eye coordination includes actions that help them aim with all or part of their body. Youngsters develop this skill by mapping a path and then using their hands and feet to aim large objects at large targets. Then the objects and targets get smaller and smaller until children have excellent finger isolation: piano playing, beading, writing.

Hand-eye coordination

The spatio-temporal structure includes everything that marks the child's place in time (before/after, rhythmic activities, day/night, seasons, etc.) and space (front/behind, over/under, right/left, etc.).

Spatio-temporal structure

Made thicker to keep user safer and to ensure it lasts longer.

Fitness, Pilates, stretching, and more: use it for all training!

The shiny lines are non-slip and allow precision.

This Swiss ball helps tone the body, strengthen your back, and stretch.

Picking the right size is easy: 
if you are less than 1.6 m (5’2”) tall and weigh under 85 kg (187 lb), choose size 1 (diameter: 55 cm/22”); 
if you are 1.6 m (5’2”) to 1.8 m (5’9”) tall and weigh less than 85 kg (187 lb), choose size 2 (diameter: 65 cm/25.6”); if you are over 1.7 m (5’6”) tall and weigh more than 85 kg (187 lb), size 3 (diameter:75 cm/29.5”) is what you need.

Which size Swiss ball do you need?

First: we recommend using a pump, which is sold separately (product ref 8214626 or 8490986). Fully inflate your exercise ball using a tape measure to check the diameter. As a guide, here are the maximum diameters of our exercise balls: Size 1 = 55 cm (22”), Size 2 = 65 cm (25.6”), and Size 3 = 75 cm (29.5”). Lastly, sit on the ball and check that your knees are at hip height. If not, add or remove some air.

How to inflate your gym ball to a safe size

Before age 4, children learn to move their body in a given direction gradually moving forward with their feet side by side.
At age 4, children can walk with one foot in front of the other on a beam that is one and half times the size of their feet. 
At age 6, children can walk heel to toe on a beam that is at least as wide as their feet.

Main stages of dynamic balance development

Children’s psychomotor development depends on a combination of genetics, motor skills, and maturity.
A product can impact a child’s psychomotor development if it supports their motor skills.
There are several aspects to motor skills: the body map, dynamic coordination, balance, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and time and spatial awareness.

The body map refers to a child’s perception of their body, which allows them to refine their movements and develop self-awareness. It develops based on sensations and actions before being represented and described. The more a child moves, the more they refine their body map, and the more accurately they’re able to move.

Body map

Hand-eye coordination includes actions required for aiming with part or all of your body: for young children, this means following a trajectory, aiming first at large objects and targets with the hands and feet, then moving on to smaller and smaller objects and targets as they learn to control their fingers: playing the piano, threading beads on a string, writing.

Time and space awareness includes everything that involves a child’s perception of their self in time
(before/after, rhythmic activity, day/night, seasons, etc.) and space (in front/behind, on/under,
right/left, etc.)

Time and spatial awareness

Burst resistance

Inflate the ball to between 55 and 60 cm, depending on your child's height.

Thick material for added safety.
The ball deflates slowly if it is punctured by a thorn or rock to keep kids from falling suddenly.
