Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates languages and communication skills.
The red Steam Engine is a playground magnet: with its vibrant colours and many play compartments it attracts children again and again. The theme of traffic holds an eternal attraction for young children: vehicles are familiar, yet they take you into the unknown. This opens for hours of imagination and dramatic play, again and again. The Steam Engine holds 3 compartments of group play: the front with little play spheres that can be shifted and turned, the open middle, which can be accessed from both sides and the drivers compartment which has a nice steering wheel and hand hold to spur dramatic play. The openness of design invites users of all abilities and with the combination of spatial shapes - open, closed to the sides and roofed - the child can meander through different rooms, training the sense of space as it crawls, climbs or moves around.
