Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
The House Slide is a nice themed slide for a toddler area. It will draw toddlers in, with its nice, supportive stair and fun slide. Sliding is hugely fun play and children try it out, again and again. Looping the stair and the slide is great cardio training. Children also train important social skills such as taking turns. When children slide, they train their core muscles, sitting upright while sliding down. This stimulates trunk stability, important for avoiding back and neck pains – a growing problem in children due to sedentary lifestyles. Sliding trains the sense of balance, fundamental for other motor skills. Climbing the ladder and learning to alternate feet, stimulates cross-coordination. This is important for mastering movement and eventually for running. It also trains cross-modal perception, important for instance for reading skills.
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 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.
Slide
Physical
sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.
Social-Emotional
empathy stimulated by turn-taking.
Cognitive

Physical
