This activity packed, home-themed playhouse will attract and excite toddlers again and again. There are several features that greatly increase play value; the scale of the house is perfect for toddlers, the flower window adds to the overall transparency so that children can play together from the outside and the inside of the house and the shop counter desk features a conveyor belt made of small wheels, providing a great tactile sensation. The crawl-through panel encourages children to crawl and explore. These activities stimulate cross-modal perception, important for improving reading skills and support cross-coordination awareness which is key to physical and cognitive development at this age. The sand tube panel and Peek a boo panel stimulate the understanding of object permanence: that items may still exist even though out of sight.

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.

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).
