Tower & Slide, Fireman's Pole & Net

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.

Top rope

Physical: the top rope adds support when balancing on the beam. This develops dexterity, hand and arm muscles.

Balance beam

Physical: trains the sense of balance, fundamental for all other motor skills that makes it possible to navigate the world confidently and securely.

Social-emotional: turn-taking skills and negotiation when crossing each other on the beam. Room for a seated rest and exchange.

Ladder with rope

Physical: cross coordination and eye-hand coordination are supported when children climb the ladder. Leg and core muscles are used intensely. Upper body muscles are developed when children pull themselves upwards in the rope.

Social-emotional: learning about turn taking and cooperation.

Fireman's pole

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

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

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

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.
