When I was a kid, I use to fidget a lot, whether it was playing with my hair or simply rocking my chair back and forth, I just needed some stimulation in order to get me through the day. Could you blame me? I was in a classroom that facilitated a sedentary lifestyle that as a kid I simply was not built for.
Movement and kids, the two are almost always mutually exclusive. Kids thrive on exploring and getting all their frustrations out through movement, that’s why it’s so important to have equipment both in and out of the classroom that allows them to do so. Traditional classrooms simply don’t provide a conducive environment for kids to move and as a result we often see kids act out in class and cause huge classroom disruptions. But what if there was a way to activate the classroom in a way that would provide an outlet for the high energy often accompanied with children? We’ve got good news The Kore Design Active Sitting does just that!
The Kore wobble stool takes active seating to a whole new level. With so many positive benefits you’re going to be begging to have this chair in your classroom or home. Here are 5 reasons to love the Kore Wobble Stool.

With the Kore Wobble Stools gently-rounded bottom students are able to make micro-movements throughout the day; helping to release pent up energy. The domed base gives students the ability to rock and spin allowing them to engage core muscles, further combatting sedentary habits.
