Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
The Fairytale Seesaw motivates children to join in play, rocking together. The spacious design and sturdy back and foot support allow for many children of all abilities playing together. The risk seekers can stand on the middle platform securely, sensing the movement of the others. The spacious platform also allows for socializing, and children lying or sitting. There is room enough for care givers, too. The seats at the end are big enough for older children as well as adults. The fun thrill of rocking, individually, or in small or in big groups, will make children return for more. Rocking on the fairytale seesaw enhances the children’s muscles and motor skills, their balance and coordination. The spaciousness of the seesaw supports development of social-emotional skills, e.g. cooperation, consideration and turn-taking. Toddlers experience cause-and-effect understanding.
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.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance. These are fundamental motor skills that help the child's ability to sit still on a chair which takes a good sense of balance.
Cognitive
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
Foot support
Physical
the possibility of footrest supports intensive rocking. Rocking stimulates the senses of balance and space that are fundamental in managing the world securely.
Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
Center platform
Physical
supports agility, balance and coordination when standing, using leg and core muscles, building bone density when jumping. Facilitate sitting and lying also, allowing for users with disabilities.
Social-Emotional
provides an inclusive space. Point for gathering and for care givers assisting. Teamwork and socializing when rocking together.
Double seating option
Social-Emotional
the possibility of two rocking together supports cooperation skills. Furthermore, the physical contact with others is great for the well-being of children, measurable in lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
