Sway alley
Physical
passing the swaying bridge steps develops the sense of balance, which is fundamental in navigating the world securely.
Social-Emotional
passing others on the way supports consideration and turn-taking skills.
The Sway Alley hugely attracts children to try out their balancing skills. It will be a playground success, again and again, thanks to the responsive horizontal logs. For every step the child takes, it trains important physical skills: use of the sense of balance, tensioning muscles in the feet, legs, core and arms to adjust equilibrium. For less trained bridge-walkers, the side beams add a welcomed support. Walking the Wobble bridge is a highly social experience also. Children feel the movements of all the other children on the bridge thanks to the interconnected horizontal and vertical carrier chains. This feature adds to the physical challenge of keeping the balance when passing the bridge. It additionally spurs cooperation, negotiation, turn-taking and consideration. These are important socio-emotional life skills, when making friends.

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.
