Water channel
Social-Emotional
children cooperate and communicate from both ends when running water through the channel.
Cognitive
supports logical thinking and 'cause and effect' understanding when children wait for the water to run through.
The Water Seesaw with Sand Hoist is a fantastic attraction in the playground, keeping children absorbed in explorative play for hours. The combination of the splash table and water channel accommodates a lot of children in play at the same time. The open design allows for eye contact, cooperation and negotiation across the play piece, stimulating social-emotional skills as well as communication and cognitive skills. The splash tables can hold materials, and the angled water channels can transport them to the tables. This explorative play holds a multitude of opportunities for creativity and logical thinking, all stimulating children's cognitive-creative development. Take the water tap: when pushed, water streams, when you let go it stops. This is fundamental for understanding e.g. object permanence. The hoist is worked vertically by pulling the chain. The sand shovel will go up or down when pulling the chain. It will stay put when the chain is let go of. This, apart from providing fascinating sand play, is a great training of children's logical thinking skills.
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.

Quality that lasts
All organic Robinia products by KOMPAN are made of Robinia wood which is sourced from sustainable plantation farms. On request it can be supplied as FSC® Certified (FSC® C004450).
The steel surfaces are hot-dip galvanised inside and outside with lead-free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
The integrated water tap open for water when pushed and stops when letting go. The water is supplied trough a pipe located inside the post with hose or pipe connection at the bottom of the post. The supply can either be a loose hose or a permanent in-ground pluming.
Robinia products are available in three different wood treatment options; untreated Robinia wood or brown painted with a pigment that maintains the wood colour and coloured version with paint of selected components.
The sand hoist is designed with upper and lower EcoCore tracks of large diameter that always ensures safe distance between the chains so they cant be crossed for entanglement. The chain is made of high-quality stainless-steel to ensure long durability of the product.
