The Water Flow with Sand Hoist is a fantastic attraction in the playground, keeping children absorbed in explorative play for hours. The combination of the splash table and water channel accommodates a lot of children in play at the same time. The open design allows for eye contact, cooperation and negotiation across the play piece, stimulating social-emotional skills as well as communication and cognitive skills. The splash tables can hold materials, and the angled water channels can transport them to the tables. This explorative play holds a multitude of opportunities for creativity and logical thinking, all stimulating children's cognitive-creative development. Take the water tap: when pushed, water streams, when you let go it stops. This is fundamental for understanding e.g. object permanence. The hoist is worked vertically by pulling the chain. The sand shovel will go up or down when pulling the chain. It will stay put when the chain is let go of. This, apart from providing fascinating sand play, is a great training of children's logical thinking skills.
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.
meeting point for cooperation and sharing. Develops turn-taking and cooperation.
logical thinking and understanding of cause and effect are trained when children stop or let go of water from the basin.
the water plug makes changing water levels possible, which adds to logical thinking skills.
trains cooperation and turn-taking as children put materials into the funnel.
the passing of materials through funnels supports the children's logical thinking and for younger children the understanding of object permanence: that materials don't vanish but run through at the other end.
meeting point for cooperation and sharing.
construction play storage – playing with sand here promotes thinking skills.
pulling the chain trains hand and arm muscles as well as the coordination.
cooperation and turn-taking skills are supported when cooperating on filling and hoisting sand up and down.
logical thinking skills are trained when understanding that pulling down makes the sand shovel go up.
working with moveable play items supports the child’s creativity.
children cooperate and communicate from both ends when running water through the channel.
supports logical thinking and cause and effect understanding when children wait for the water to run through.

This product, Water Flow with Sand Hoist (NRO574), is provided by KOMPAN Ireland.
All Organic Robinia products by KOMPAN are made of Robinia wood from sustainable European sources. On request it can be supplied as FSC® Certified (FSC® C004450).
The steel surfaces are hot dip galvanised inside and outside with lead free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
The integrated water tap open for water when pushed and stops when letting go. The water is supplied trough a pipe located inside the post with hose or pipe connection at the bottom of the post. The supply can either be a loose hose or a permanent in-ground pluming.
Robinia products are available in three different wood treatment options: untreated Robinia wood or brown painted with a pigment that maintains the wood colour and coloured version with paint of selected components.
The sand hoist is designed with upper and lower EcoCore tracks of large diameter that always ensures safe distance between the chains so they cant be crossed for entanglement. The chain is made of high-quality stainless-steel to ensure long durability of the product.
