Horizontal membrane

Physical: the bouncy membrane develops the sense of balance when the child stands, steps or sits here.

Social-emotional: great point for a break or meeting with friends.

Rope path with rubber and alu grips

Social-emotional: the swaying movement make children consider one another and support them in developing cooperation and turn-taking.

Coconut rope

Physical: balance and coordination is supported when walking the swaying rope. A good sense of balance transfers to other skills such as sitting still on a chair. Bone density is developed when jumping off.

Social-emotional: children swaying together on the rope experience their own and others’ movements. This spurs cooperation and consideration, e.g. when passing others on the rope.
