After the great success of the My free play origin module, Jambette is now launching My free play mini!
My free play is an original concept by Jambette based on the principles of free play.
This smaller version of the original module is adapted to a younger audience of daycare users. The dimensions are ideal for a more limited outdoor space; moreover, the size of the structure and its accessories were designed for the little hands of the builders.
WHAT IS FREE PLAY?
In contrast to structured play, free play is a recreational time that has not been organized by an adult and that does not rely on any electronic entertainment system like a video game. Free play lets the child lead.
Free play, as designed by Jambette, starts with THE PLAN, the most versatile structure available, plus a selection of accessories that children can install, assemble or modify themselves!
Plus, enjoy the same benefits as the regular format:
- Promotes children's physical and social development
- Stimulates creativity and imagination
- Fosters independence, problem solving skills and emotional control
- Develops self-esteem
A JAMBETTE SIGNATURE PRODUCT
My free play is the first free play equipment introduced in the institutional recreational equipment industry. The concept has its origins in Lab-Aventure, the free play laboratory created in 2019 by Jambette and the Patro de Lévis.
This project was made possible by research on free play commissioned by Jambette and conducted by the Université du Québec à Rimouski in collaboration with the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières.
In the end, the result also draws inspiration from the free play initiatives carried out by many organizations in Quebec, Canada and elsewhere in the world.
