Rope handholds
Physical
provides stability in balancing. Makes possible hanging in arms, training upper body muscles.
Social-Emotional
adds a feeling of security.
The Balance Posts with Rope appeal to children immediately. When walking or jumping from pole to pole, children train their proprioception and sense of balance, both skills are fundamental in confidently managing the body in its surroundings. This is important for instance when navigating street traffic safely, but it also plays an important role for children's self confidence. The support rope can be used by those less confident in their balancing skills. Navigating across the Balance Poles with friends teaches children how to take turns. These are important social-emotional skills that are basic to the ability to form friendship and relate to peers. All in all, so much more than play.

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 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.

Nets and ropes are made of UV-stabilised PA with inner steel cable reinforcement. The rope is induction treated in order to create a strong connection between steel and rope which leads to good wear resistance.
The Robinia wood can be supplied as untreated raw wood or painted with a brown coloured transparent pigment that maintains the golden wood colour of the wood.
