The Snail with its colorful shell and friendly face invites toddlers for shorter or longer rides, over and over again. Apart from its appealing shape, the Snail offers tactile variation with its steel hand hold, rubber foot support and smooth, wooden body. Tactile richness is a main motivator, especially in younger children. It supports their understanding of material characteristics such as weight, smoothness, temperature and flexibility, an important skill for risk management. The spring ensures hours, years and decades of fun. The soothing, rocking movement of the Snail trains the sense of balance and the spatial awareness, crucial for body confidence and avoiding falling. A good sense of balance is essential for the ability to sit still and concentrate.
