Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
The Horse seesaw with its friendly-looking horses and vibrant colours invite children to try out the rocking experience. Due to the supportive ergonomics, children will play intensely for a long time and come back time and time again. The springs make it possible for users of different ages and sizes to rock together. Adults can participate, too. The rounded seats and foot and hand holds allow children to give it a good go, even if they are nervous at first. The handgrips support a firm hold for a range of hand sizes. Rocking on the Hopper is a different seesaw experience, as the springs allow for users of different numbers, weights, and abilities to play and cooperate. The seesaw is great for cooperative play: the child needs to consider the rhythm of the other players' movements. This is good training for cooperation and consideration and allows children with conditions such as autism to get a chance for social play in a secure framework.

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.
Foot support
Physical
the footrest supports intensive rocking, simulating the senses of balance and space and supports coordination and muscle strength.
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.
Handhold
Physical
opens more hold positions and ensures good grip, necessary for rocking intensely which trains hand and arm muscles.
