The Balance Beam is a great playground classic, that attracts children again and again. It can function as playground glue, connecting activities, and friends. It can also function as a point for a break, providing seating for children sharing, or parents or carers in need of a point from which to observe the children play. When children balance across the Balance Beam, they train their equilibrium immensely. The sense of balance is a fundamental motor skill, that is basic for the development of all other skills. The sense of balance for instance makes it possible for children to sit still and concentrate. So the fun of physical play supports child development. The spaciousness allows for ample social interaction and cooperative play.
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.
