Slide
Physical
sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.
Social-Emotional
empathy stimulated by turn-taking.
This slide play tower will inspire children to slide, climb, and come back to play actively again and again. The leveled play encourages physical play, training children’s muscles and cross-coordination when they crawl, walk, or run the stairs. Cross-coordination stimulates cross-modal perception, which is necessary for skills such as reading. The slide provides a stomach-tickling reward for climbing the tower, adding a thrill with its speedy egress. Sliding down trains the children’s sense of balance, stability, and core muscles when sitting upright. When deciding whom to go next, children develop empathy and negotiation skills. Turn-taking skills build up important socio-emotional skills for cooperative play. The platform provides a place to play with friends and socialize.
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.

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).
