Rocking is a thrilling activity that attracts young children to play at the playground. It is not only fun but helps to build physical and cognitive skills as well. The rocking movements of the shark respond to the child's own forward and backward movements, which help to develop spatial awareness and a sense of balance. These are fundamental motor skills that help the child's ability to sit still on a chair (which takes a good sense of balance). The responsive movements also help children to be aware of cause and effect when they begin to understand that when they move their body, the shark moves. Cause and effect play keeps children engaged for a longer time, helping to sustain the play. The whimsical look of the shark is not only an attractor but stimulates the imagination which adds an exciting cognitive layer to the play value of the space.
