Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child 'want' or developmentally 'need' to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.

Specifications
The Supernova is a large slanting, rotating ring with 7 divided areas. It invites children to explore dynamic play options like turning, spinning and balancing whilst seated, lying, or standing. The many play opportunities and the open ground level design makes it possible for all abilities to be included in play. The 7 areas of the ring inspire a multitude of different games built around rules and numeracy. Rough-and-tumble play that include pushing and running after the ring, help develop the children's arm and leg muscles as well as cardio. Jumping on and off the rotating ring builds bone density. The Supernova trains the sense of balance, assessment of speed and spacial perimeters. This is crucial in being able to sit still or navigate traffic safely. Children help one another and invent games these stimulate the child's social-emotional skills and cognition, empathy, cooperation skills and logical thinking.

Quality that lasts
The Supernova is a unique carousel with no centre point placed at an angle of 10°, which makes it turn when children walk around the ring. The outside ring diameter is 208cm, and the upper point is 60cm above ground level.
The seven ring segments are made of low-density PE with excellent impact strength and usable within a large temperature span. Each segment has integrated handholds on both sides and a non-skid top surface for safe usage.
The Supernova is designed with a lifetime lubricated maintenance free roller system of vertical and horizontal rollers. The roller system is fully closed and sealed by two rubber lists.
The Supernova is designed with five legs with hot-dip galvanised surfacing treatment. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
The sand coloured variant is made of rotomoulded stone mixed PE material with non-skid surface texture. Minor differences in the stone mix are to be visually expected.
GreenLine versions in teal color are designed with molded PE parts which consist of 33% recycled post-consumer ocean waste. Ocean waste is collected from the maritime industry, such as fishing nets, ropes and trawls.
