Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates languages and communication skills.
The amazing, graceful Swan should be in all playgrounds. Children seek it out to rock and play again and again. The Swan is a truly universal design: the back, calf, and foot supports, the shelter of the seat sides, and the vertical handholds make it accessible and fun for all. Children rock the Swan using their leg, arm, and core muscles to coordinate movements and set it into motion. Alternatively, the spring will move when children stem their back into the seat, without using leg muscles. The hand-holds support a relevant grip height for all. Rocking the Swan supports the senses of balance and space that are fundamental for body confidence and movement control. The spring’s response to movement builds an understanding of cause-and-effect. It supports logical thinking, a fundamental cognitive skill.

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.
Handhold
Physical
opens more hold positions and ensures good grip, necessary for rocking intensely which trains hand and arm muscles.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance which are fundamental motor skills.
Cognitive
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
Foot and back support
Physical
extra back and foot support for children with disabilities. Rocking promotes sense of balance and space. Arms and leg muscles are strengthened.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage, from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
