The Tree Castle with its spacious look-out tower, red slide and challenging wackle bridge attracts children immediately: they want to balance the bridge to the platform, have a view through the binoculars before whizzing down the slide. And then they want to repeat that loop, again and again. The versatile motor skill and muscle training for toddlers cover movement needs: they train their balance, spatial awareness and cross-coordination when crawling up the stairs onto the wobbly bridge and then onto the platform. These motor skills stimulate the body awareness and build confidence. When sliding from the Tree Castle, toddlers train their trunk stability and sense of balance. This is fundamental for being able to sit still and concentrate. The platform window and binoculars invite socializing, so toddlers can make friends in play.

Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child “want” or developmentally “need” to undertake the activity and because of this children will want to return to the item over and over again. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
the binoculars set a tangible theme and thus spur dramatic play. Dramatic play is a great trainer of language and communication skills.
the binoculars can be turned in all directions. Looking through them gives a new perspective on the world.
cross coordination is used, supporting the cooperation of the left and right halves of the brain, which is necessary for reading. For young children, spatial awareness is trained when walking stairs.
the wobbly bridge trains balance and coordination as well as spatial awareness: when children cross the bridge by running or jumping.
turn-taking and consideration when passing each other. Cooperation and socializing with others in and around the bridge.
trains the sense of balance and space.
courage, self-confidence, consideration and turn-taking, all important life skills, get practiced.
sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.
empathy stimulated by turn-taking.
young children develop their understanding of space, speed and distances when sliding down quickly.
