His acrobatically moving children are also typical. His sculptures often have a humorous side. As a result, Van der Meer had many exhibitions and commissions at a young age. His sculptures for public spaces were popular, such as 'Kangaroo chair' Maurice Ravelweg in The Hague, 'Girl on a skippy ball' placed on the Heeswijkplein and 'Girl with bicycle' on the Spakenburgstraat in The Hague.
