Step by step
- Set up the padded storage benches in a quiet, slightly screened-off corner
- Keep the fleece blankets within easy reach inside the bench
- Have the light-up hedgehog balls ready as a transitional object
- Make the corner even calmer with dimmed lighting or a screen
- Air the corner regularly and wash the blankets
Safety first
- Hedgehog balls suitable under EN 71 for children from age 1, check for firmly sewn seams
- Never leave fleece blankets over sleeping toddlers' faces
- Set up storage benches so they cannot tip over and check them regularly for wear
Variations
- Set up a second calm corner with the same elements for larger toddler groups
- Swap the hedgehog balls seasonally for other quiet sensory toys
Our tips
- Institutions can order on invoice, which makes it easier to buy several sets for the whole building
- Order the fleece blankets in multiples so freshly washed blankets are always ready
