Pony

Color ROBINIA UNT. WOOD

Loading Designer
The Pony with a lovely, chunky seat attracts toddlers for a shorter or longer ride, again and again. Apart from its appealing shapes, the Pony offers tactile variation with its rubber hand holds and smooth, wooden body. Tactile richness is a main motivator, especially in younger children. It supports their understanding of material characteristics such as weight, texture, temperature and flexibility. This is an important awareness for instance risk management. The spring ensures hours, years and decades of fun. The soothing, rocking movement of the Pony trains the sense of balance and the spatial awareness, both crucial for body confidence and avoiding falling. A well-developed sense of balance is also fundamental for the ability to sit still and concentrate. The Pony offers children much more than a mere fun ride.

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.
