Standing Desk by Fully

For the Kid that Needs to Move and Work

Daily Mom'S Practical Gift Guide 2 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

With the push to make classrooms more inclusive, the Jaswig My First StandUp is just what kids need to stay on task. But until classrooms get into the moving movement with children’s developmental needs, you can bring it home with a standing desk that helps your child stay focused while they are doing their homework.

Daily Mom'S Practical Gift Guide 3 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

The Jaswig My First StandUp is made just for kids. It features things like:

  • Adjustable height for ages from kindergarten through their middle school years (27 inches to 35 inches)
  • Simple, 60’s-inspired design that is durable and easy to adjust
  • Made of certified birch wood with a low-VOC and low-formaldehyde varnish with approval from the Forest Stewardship Council
  • Desk top is 18 inches by 23 inches- big enough for textbooks or a laptop
  • Built in ergonomic foot rest
  • Has a storage cubby for books or writing tools (or a snack)

Daily Mom'S Practical Gift Guide 4 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

Movement helps children physically, emotionally, and mentally, and the Jaswig My First StandUp helps to promote that by giving your child the opportunity to move while they are focused on their work. Alternative seating like a standup desk can especially help children who have trouble with focusing in class, too. Start your child’s school career off on the right foot by giving them the tools, like the Jaswig My First StandUp, that they need to start healthy habits, including movement throughout a classically sedentary society.
