The whimsical shapes of the Tipi Carousel with top brace attracts children in its own right. Children will play here repeatedly, thanks to the multifunctionality of the slick TIPI. Responsive to children's movements, the TIPI spins when pushed or pulled. Apart from being a fun negotiation and turn-taking game, the pushing and pulling build muscles and cardio. In the TIPI children can lie, sit or stand with the support of the side bars or the top frame. This welcomes children with mobility disabilities to be part of the play, too. The spinning movement trains the sense of space and balance. The sense of balance is fundamental to all other motor skills and is important for motor control. For instance, being able to sit still or cycle securely, without falling. The TIPI facilitates universal and inclusive play.
