Balance posts
Physical
sense of balance is trained, and bone density built when jumping between and off the pods.
Social-Emotional
turn-taking and cooperation as well as room for a seated rest with friends.
The Water Lilies Balance Posts appeal to children, and encourage physical make believe games with rules, for example, pretending the ground is water, and trying to stay out of the water. The Water Lilies invite jumping or balancing from one to the next. They can also be used as individual seats and are perfect for group conversation. The Water Lilies support children who are less confident, thanks to their width. When balancing from water lily to water lily, children train their proprioception and sense of balance. Balance and proprioception are fundamental skills for confidently managing the body in its surroundings. This is important for instance when navigating street traffic safely. Crossing the Water Lilies with friends trains turn-taking and negotiation. These are important social-emotional skills that are basic for the ability to form friendship and relate to peers.

Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
