Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates languages and communication skills.
The Unitruck holds an immense appeal for younger children. The recognizable theme spurs dramatic play for young as well as older children. The easily accessible Unitruck invites ground level play for children of all abilities. The richness of manipulative play supports dramatic play, which again builds communication, language and social skills. This helps children express themselves and being understood by their surroundings. We know from KOMPAN Play Institute studies that manipulative play elements increase play retention. The gear shift, steering wheel and seating area with benches in the back add possibilities of group play, and a place for caregivers to be informally seated. Dramatic play is the favorite play type for younger children. Well known themes are scientifically stated to support play of younger children and of children with a range of disabilities. The Unitruck is fully accessible for children with difficulties walking and moving.
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.
