WOW! The thrilling activity of rotating, rocking and cooperating with a friend is hugely appealing to children of all ages. The WeHopper is perfect in size for young children, and their enthusiasm in mastering the activity is pure play. When pushing with the feet and pulling with the arms, the WeHopper is set into motion. This trains coordination skills as well as muscles. The handholds allow for different grip heights so that a span of ages are able to get a firm grip. When rotating, the children stimulate their sense of balance, which is fundamental for all other motor skills and involves the ability to for instance sit still on a chair. The coordination of movements for the individual child, and not least the coordination of movements together with a friend, takes concentration and body mastery. This stimulates social skills, and it builds confidence in movement, supporting self-efficacy.

pushing or pulling it into motion, children use their muscle strength and strengthen their cardio. The rotation develops the sense of balance and space when enjoying the ride.
listening and negotiating how slow or fast to go, children develop their empathy and cooperation skills.
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.
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
the possibility to hold onto more areas of the handhold ensures a good grip, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
