Indoor Broom in a child's hands
The indoor broom with soft black bristles is 70 cm long, weighs 250 g and is used to sweep floors indoors. The handle and the head are wooden and the bristles are synthetic. The child holds the handle with both hands, moves the bristles over the floor in short strokes and pushes dust and crumbs together into one place, where they can be picked up. The broom is meant for children aged 3 to 6. After use, shake the dirt out of the bristles and wipe the handle with a damp cloth.
Gross Motor Coordination
Sweeping movements develop bilateral coordination and strengthen core muscles while crossing the body's midline.
Care of Environment
Children develop responsibility and pride in maintaining their classroom or home space through meaningful work.
Concentration & Order
The systematic sweeping process builds focus and teaches children to work methodically from left to right.
Independence
Having their own properly-sized tools empowers children to clean up spills and messes without adult assistance.
