Binoculars
Cognitive
the binoculars promote dramatic play, a great trainer of language and communication skills.
Creative
the binoculars can be moved around. Looking through them gives a new perspective on the world.
The Nature Range is made from beautiful pinewood. Timber play items are always a great addition to any playground, providing a rich and inviting new material for children to touch, feel and play with. The Gold Mine with its sturdy look-out tower and red slide attracts children immediately: they want to loop the hill and slide, experiencing the tickle in the stomach again and again. And they want to run over and crawl under the platform. The versatile 3-in-1 activity of the Gold Mine trains a rich variety of motor and muscle skills in toddlers: they train their spatial awareness and incorporate important concepts such as above or below, over and under, which are crucial for a later understanding off mathematical terms. Running or crawling up and down hill is good for cross-coordination as this fundamental motor skill stimulates the centres in the brain that support reading skills. When sliding the Gold Mine, toddlers train their trunk stability and sense of balance. These are fundamental for physical confidence.
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.
Slide
Physical
develops spatial awareness, sense of balance and trains core muscles when sitting upright going down.
Social-Emotional
empathy stimulated by turn-taking.
Cognitive
young children develop their understanding of space, speed and distances when sliding down.
