WOW, the Rocket Roller with its intriguing shape attracts children and encourages play again and again. It tickles the stomach, rotates, and encourages children to play together. The shape and possibility to push and pull the tubes invite cooperation. Children can be active together and train empathy, cooperation, and turn-taking skills. The inclination allows children to adjust the speed with pushing and pulling motions, challenging their proprioception and spatial awareness. Muscles are also developed when holding tight in the fast and fun spin. When rotating, sitting, or standing, children train their sense of balance, which is fundamental for all other motor skills. A well-trained sense of balance helps children navigate the world securely and is fundamental for being able to sit still and concentrate.
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.
Core and arm muscles and sense of balance and space are trained when using the whole body to start or stop the Rocket Roller's spinning movement.
turn-taking, cooperation and team spirit is supported when spinning standing, seated, together in smaller or bigger groups, and getting dizzy from spinning.
logical thinking when speeding up or slowing down the spin by different body movements.
