Maxite with add-ons

Height

Social-emotional: children develop courage and self-regulation when being up high. This positively affects self-confidence.

Inclined climbing net

Physical: the inclined net supports the upward climbing movement of the body. The net supports cross-body coordination, which impacts coordination of the right and left part of brain, fundamental for other skills such as the ability to read.

Social-emotional: the inclination makes climbing feel secure, especially for younger children.

Banister bars

Physical: coordination is supported when going down, as well as arm and core muscles. Landing strengthens bone density, which is built for life in childhood.

Social-emotional: turn-taking and risk-taking.

Ladder

Physical: cross coordination and muscle strength are developed when children climb the ladder. The climbing also supports leg and arm muscles.

Connected nets

Physical: the connected nets make the climbers feel the movements of the other climbers, adding a dimension of fun and demanding concentration when holding tight to the rope. All muscle groups are trained, as well as cross coordination.

Social-emotional: the climbers’ movements affect the other climbers, so consideration and turn-taking is supported.

Cognitive: cause and effect understanding is supported by the bouncing effect of the movement of others.

Membrane path

Physical: a faster way up, due to the extra support of the membrane.

Social-emotional: a meeting path with points for retreat from the rope landscape.

Inclined net

Physical: the inclined net supports the upward climbing movement of the body, training cross-body coordination and muscle strength.

Social-emotional: the meshes allow for more children being seated or lying together, sharing.
