This activity packed playhouse will attract and excite toddlers again and again. There are several features that greatly increase play value and toddlers' understanding of the world in this play unit: the scale of the house makes a perfect frame for looping the entrance and crawl-through hole, stimualting cross-coordination. The shop counter desk features a conveyor belt made of small spheres, providing a great tactile sensation and providing a stimulating cross-modal perception, important for reading skills. The sand tube panel and the peek-a-boo panel intrigue toddlers and their understanding of object permanence: that items may still exist even though out of sight.

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.
tactile stimulation supports sensory skills, when children explore characteristics of the materials.
social interaction between inside and outside, supporting taking turns and cooperation skills.
understanding object permanence when playing, e.g. peek-a-boo. Dramatic play support, encouraging language skills.
leaving a mark, deciding how to place curtains.
the hole allows for climbing and crawling through, developing cross coordination, proprioception and spatial awareness.
cooperation and turn-taking when passing one another.
tactile stimulation from running hands over rolling spheres on conveyor belt.
sharing and cooperation from both sides create a social scenario that supports communication and cooperation.
supports dramatic play scenarios, trains cause and effect understanding.
trains cooperation and turn-taking as children put materials into the funnel.
the passing of materials through funnels supports the children's logical thinking and for younger children the understanding of object permanence: that materials don't vanish but run through at the other end.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
