Tower and Net

Net crossing

Physical: cross coordination, spatial awareness and muscle strength are trained when climbing in the net.

Social-emotional: passing others when climbing through trains 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.

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.

Cognitive: young children develop their understanding of space, speed and distances when sliding down quickly.

Platform

Social-emotional: the platform allows for more children to be together and share. Important life skills like courage, self-confidence, consideration and turn-taking are built.
