Rumlii
Rumlii blev grundlagt i 2015 af pædagog Martin Niemann for at hjælpe børn. Martin har arbejdet med vuggestuebørn i 2002 og blev uddannet pædagog i 2010. Han har altid haft en lille opfinder i maven, og da han observerede at vuggestuebørn havde svært ved at lege når de havde handsker på, fik han en idé. Almindelige vanter til børn er designet til voksne, og så krympet til børnestørrelse – et dårligt udgangspunkt for et produkt til børn i en kritisk periode af deres udvikling. Børnene skal kunne bruge deres hænder frit, og gribe om ting uden at blive forhindret af deres påklædning. “Vinter efter vinter så Jeg og mine kollegaer disse fingervanter, som børnene ikke selv kunne tage på, og som de hev af, så snart vi kom udenfor. Havde de tykke luffer på, kunne de holde varmen, men ikke bruge hænderne til noget som helst. Der måtte findes en løsning.” Martin besluttede sig for at finde løsningen, men det tog tog flere år på tegnebrættet, og mange hjemmestrikkede prototyper, før den perfekte vante var færdig. Martins mor syede prototyper, og de blev alle testet grundigt af børn og evalueret at pædagoger. Alt sammen for at sikre at Rumlii vanten er den bedst mulige vante for børn. Rumlii er grundlagt for at skabe de bedste rammer for børn og god leg. Vores produkter gør hverdagen lettere for børn, og dermed også for forældre og pædagoger. Selvhjulpenhed og frihed er nøglen til gode produkter til børn.

Rumlii was founded in 2015 by pedagogue Martin Niemann to help children. Martin has worked with daycare children since 2002, and graduated from the pedantic school in Copenhagen 2010. Martin has always been a creative thinker, and when he observed toddlers and children struggling with their mittens when trying to play, he got an idea. Regular mittens for children are designed for adults, and then shrunk to kid-sizes, which is a bad basis for developing a product for children in a critical period of their development. Children has to be able to use their hands freely, and grab anything they want without being held back by the clothing. “Winter after winter, my colleagues and I saw these finger-gloves that children couldn’t put on themselves, and if they got on, they threw them off as soon as they got outside. Others has thick mittens on, which kept them warm, but made their hands incapacitated. There had to be a better solution”. Martin decided to develop the solution himself, but it took him several years before the right design was finalized. Martin’s mom sewed all the prototypes, and they were tested thoroughly by children and evaluated by fellow pedagogues. Martin insisted that the comprehensive research was necessary to produce the best possible mitten for children. Rumlii was founded to create the best possible framework for children to play and have fun. We believe that self-reliance and freedom is the key to making the best products for children.
