Handhold
Physical
the possibility to hold onto more areas of the handhold ensures a good grip, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
The Butterfly Seesaw takes the classic seesawing to new social heights: thanks to the springs, unequal numbers can play together. Children can even play this alone. That allows for varied play, a feature that will attract children again and again, for shorter or longer try-outs. The sense of space and rhythm and leg and arm strength of children is trained when they rock and seesaw. The two varied surfaces, a flat horizontal and a rounded horizontal, allows for more body positions: sitting, kneeling, lying. This accommodates a wider span of users, both age and ability-wise. Rocking trains the senses of balance and space. These are both crucial for body confidence, e.g. in avoiding falling. Doing this more children together develops important social-emotional skills such as turn- taking and cooperation.

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.
