Climbing Net

Climbing rope

Physical: the small knots add support for hands and feet when climbing onto the rope, crawling up or down. Climbing supports spatial awareness, cross coordination and muscle strength.

Social-emotional: passing others when climbing up or down develops turn-taking skills and consideration.

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. The asymmetry of the net challenges the children’s climbing.

Spider net

Physical: cross coordination is supported when creeping and crawling through, over and across the net’s inclined rungs. This also supports the cooperation of left and right brain half, important for other skills such as reading. The core, arm and leg muscles are strengthened.

Social-emotional: taking a break together in the net and waiting for others to cross supports social abilities such as cooperation and communication.

Top beam

Physical: climbing over the top beam demands good spatial awareness and involves risk taking.

Social-emotional: fine destination for a break with friends.
