Wobble Stools for Wiggly Students

Help me give my students wobble stools, because my wiggly students would love seats that help keep their bodies and minds engaged.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Torbert's classroom raised $501

My Project

Engaging students in learning is hard enough and so are the seats they sit in. Wobble stools are more comfortable for students and help them concentrate better on the task at hand. Improving concentration and learning are especially important for children with ADHD and those on the autism spectrum.

The wobble stools not only look super cool, they help kids focus.

The wobbly effect of these stools force children to focus on how they sit, so the energy that usually goes into fidgeting is directed at staying upright. Studies show that sensory stimulation improves concentration while promoting relaxation in many children.

The wobble stools help prevent chair-related accidents. Children who have trouble concentrating tend to lean back in their chair, which can be dangerous if the child falls.
