Still, most children have one thing in common – they can’t sit still for long. “Children’s bodies are full of kinetic energy that needs to be released. Science also shows that the learning benefits from physical activity. No matter if it’s wild play before the homework or moving the body while you study,” says Anna and explains how it inspired to create the footrest in the series. “You can rock it back and forth with the feet and use it as support to sit more ergonomically.”

You can fold out all 3 sides or only 2, for example if you want light from one side.

Ratings and reviews
Practical dividerCindyI use this divider on the small table next to my computer desk to screen distractions. It helps me remain focussed on my tasks.
Great for arts and craftsEloisaI use this for my watercolor painting and it helps me to keep things tidy 👍
It is good for a small kidAnonymous reviewerIt will be better if the hight is higer that may be around 2' high.
Great little dividerChuckOther than being a little on the short side (the only reason why it did not get full stars) the divider works well and is easy to use.
Amazing for distracted kiddoAnonymousOur teacher recommended picking this up for our child who is easily distracted and struggles with sensory overload and lack of personal space in the busy 4th grade class. Best advice ever. The teacher stores this in the resource cupboard and our child can self select when he needs it at his chair/table of 4 students. Grateful for this super reasonably priced, well designed, light yet sturdy product. IKEA has done it again

Story
Get the homework started
Sometimes it can be hard to find a quiet nook and get started with the homework. With the ÖVNING series, we wanted to develop smart tools so your child can more easily find peace and quiet. In the room as well as in body and mind.
“When we do home visits and interview children around the world, we see that not all have the same need when they do their homework. Some work best at a desk, while others rather move around or spread out on the floor,” tells Anna Carme, who works with the range in Children’s IKEA. “That’s why quite some flexibility is needed around the homework, and that insight helped us develop ÖVNING.”
Room for lively legs
Have fun and find focus
To have your own place of study is important but it doesn’t have to be at a desk. With the desk divider and the desk accessories organizer in the ÖVNING series, it becomes easier to create an own private space that you can take with you to the dining table or the sofa – and personalize with pictures and fun things. “To have fun and move around regularly is often confused with distraction and lack of concentration. We think it’s the opposite. When the study time is flexible and feels fun, it helps the child to focus. It simply works as a reward and a positive spiral.”
