Balcony
Social-Emotional
the balcony invites meetings and interaction with people on ground level.
Cognitive
invites dramatic play and performance, which stimulates language development.
The Play Tower, U2 Slide is an ultimate play attraction for developing toddlers. The levels encourage physical play. Children crawl, walk and run the stairs. This activity trains cross-coordination, a fundamental skill for e.g. later reading skills. The play tower also has a slide, and sliding stimulates the sense of balance, which is fundamental for mastering any physical activity. The balcony allows interaction from the outside to the inside and adds a feeling for height which tickles the stomach. The window has curtains that can be drawn from both sides, inspiring social play and peek-a-boo.This supports the understanding of object permanence, that things don't cease to exist because they disappear. The roomy stairway allows for breaks and social interaction, too. Lots of social play and exploration in a small footprint.

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.

Window with curtains
Physical

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).
