The Cottontop Trail provides thrilling, responsive challenges for children. The variety of play activities make them want to come back again and again for more fun. The nets act as a big trim trail and encourage games such as "the ground is made of lava". Lots of responsive, swaying and bouncing nets demand concentrated movement, adjusting for different rhythms of climbing. The nets train agility, balance and coordination skills, the ABC of motor skills, in an immensely fun way. Apart from being great fun, the horizontal net, Swaying Bridge and Shaky Pods allow children to take a break and socialise or cooperate together to move around the structure. This develops important social-emotional skills such as turn-taking, helping and sharing. The bouncy, swaying range of challenging play makes the Cottontop Trail a high retention play event that manages to support children's development through fun play.
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.
children train cross-body coordination and balance. The big meshes allow for tight-rope walks through, training proprioception, balance and spatial awareness.
the horizontal ropes allow for more children being seated together, sharing.
sense of balance and space, and training of posture. Important for being able to sit still.
cooperation, turn-taking and friendly competition on the plates.
agility, balance and coordination when climbing through link, swaying on ropes. Arm, leg and core muscles are strengthened. These are important for posture control and also sitting still.
turn-taking and consideration of others when climbing through. These skills are hard to teach but easy to learn in play.
rope walking is a challenging training of the sense of balance. The gently swaying rope adds to the challenge. When training the sense of balance this way, children also train their concentration skills.
the twisted ropes that sway intensely train agility, balance and coordination, the ABCs of motor skills. All major muscles are trained when holding tight to cross the link.
cooperation skills are needed here to cross from both sides simultaneously: concentration on holding tight when crossing calls for precise communication.
the unsymmetrically placed steps are suspended in ropes that sway. These two features train balance and cross coordination, both important for body control and other skills such as sitting still on a chair.
passing others on the bridge stimulates cooperation and positive exchange.
the Swaying Seesaw is a challenging training of balance, spatial awareness, and timing: to bounce each other up and down is a balance quest that takes handholds, hence the supportive ropes. The skills trained here are fundamental for instance for navigating traffic safely.
passing others on the bridge intensely trains cooperation and communication skills.
holding onto the swaying upper rope when balancing on the swaying lower rope makes excellent training of the sense of balance and trunk muscles. These abilities are fundamental for being able to sit still.
there is room for more than one and cooperating with friends on walking over the swaying ropes is a true cooperation task that requires teamwork and tolerance.
children develop cross-body coordination when climbing. Arm, leg and core muscles are strengthened. These are important for posture control and also sitting still.
the meshes allow for more children to sit together and talk.
