Wooden playset that nurtures the five senses

Stimulate tactile, proprioceptive, and equilibrium senses to grow the brain

Sense integration is a brain function that organizes and combines multiple senses

The three senses of touch plus the intrinsic senses and the sense of equilibrium (vestibular senses) are said to be sense s that are difficult to be aware of by oneself. To be able to unconsciously use these three senses in a balanced manner is called "sensory integration.
By learning sensory integration, you will be able to move your body as you wish, use tools, and communic ate well with others.

What happens when sensory integration goes awry?

If sense integration is not sufficiently mature, emotional, interpersonal, learning, and language problems are likely to occur. For Ex. in the situation of quietly listening to others, a child with poor sensory integration may not be able to concentrate on the act of listening, and may appear to be restless or behave in a distracting manner.

BreKIDS, a natural way to train senses

During childhood, the brain processes the information input from the various senses and outputs it in the form of actions. In order to develop the ability to output, input is the first important step.
By using hands and feet to play with BreKIDS from an early age, children naturally train their senses to sense something and their brain to process that information as input.

BreKIDS contains many nutrients that stimulate the brain and promote input. Playing at BreKIDS is an important opportunity and place to not only nurture the body, but also to train the brain's input ability.

Attention to the 12mm thickness of the hanging bar

The diameter of 12mm is thick enough for infants to grip firmly

Kanazawa Ikiya's BreKIDS has a hanging bar with a diameter of 12mm, which no other company offers. The diameter of 12mm is thick enough for infants to grip firmly.

Babies have several "reflexes" to help them adapt to their environment. "Gripping" is one of them. When something touches the open palm of the hand, it closes as if g rip ping it instantaneously. That is the "gr ip ping reflex. It is interesting to note that "gripping" can be done by reflex, but "releasing" requires training to be done consciously. "Grip" is a training of "release" and also a training of the brain.

It is said that the earlier age start training, the more children can learn in a short period of time, and the more children repeat, the faster children's brain will grow. A wooden playset called BreKIDS helps to create an environment that brings out the best in children's abilities from the time they are babies.

According to the height and growth of the children.

Although Kanazawa Ikiya's BreKIDS takes up only one tatami mat, it is possible to change the thickness (12, 18, 25, or 30 mm in diameter) and spacing (100, 150, or 200 mm) of the hanging bars as your child grows, and it is very easy to do so. In addition, floor panels can be attached so t hat the height can be changed as the child grows.

Reversible panels and floor panels that can be easily changed in height by the mother alone.There are more than 50 variations in this product.

Minimal space,Maximum strength and safety Considering

Considering the recent housing situation and the fact that people live in apartments and condominiums, the feature of BreKIDS is that it can be installed in as little space as possible.

On the other hand, BreKIDS is not only a place for children to play, but also a place for children to expand their own abilities and possibilities through repeated challenges, failures and successes. Therefore, as a piece of hardware, BreKIDS needs to be as strong and safe as possible. The experience and knowledge of an ex construction carpenter who is a licensed architect has been put to good use in this unit.

We want you to feel the authentic thing firsthand.

The reason why Kanazawa Ikiya is particular about wood

Japanese people have been associated with wood since ancient times. Wood is a material that used to be in dispensable for life, from housing to daily necessities.

Wood has an image of "warmth".
Because of its low thermal conductivity (heat does not escape easily), when you touch the wood surface, the heat of the person who touched it is returned to you, making it feel like human skin.

When people touch wood, they feel warmth, familiarity, and smoothness.
To allow children to feel the sensation of touching wood, BreKIDS is a wooden play set that is not painted to bring out the natural texture of wood.

The reason why Kanazawa Ikiya insists on using wood is because we believe that among the five senses (touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight), the sense of touch, which is the most important but seems to be getting weaker these days, is a sense that plays an important role in nurturing our minds as we grow.

We offer plain contents

Kanazawa Ikiya's idea of "authenticity" does not mean high or low value from the outside, but neither more nor less than what it is (plain).

Our role is to recognize and bring out the "as is" of the material. It is the role of parents and other adults to recognize and bri ng out the best in children.

I sincerely hope that the children of the future will understand that the most wonderful thing is to be as you are.
