Handhold
Physical
the possibility to hold on tight enables intense rocking. This trains the hand and arm muscles.
The Seesaw is a playground classic. It still attracts players again and again, as it has done for generations. The vintage play item is still with us for a reason: the tickling in the stomach when going up high, then going down fast is eternally appealing. The Seesaw develops the sense of space and rhythm and leg muscles of children. It helps crucial motor skills that help children navigate the world securely, e.g. in the street when estimating time, movement and objects. The social dimension and degree of trust in your peer that is demanded when see-sawing, is great training of socio-emotional life skills such as turn- taking and cooperation. Empathy is trained as well, as players consider others’ limits and limitations. Or as they get inspired to try out things they didn’t dare to do before, because other children dare to.
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.
Rocking spring

response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance which are fundamental motor skills.
