Two Towers with Overhead Handholds

Balance ropes

Physical: the balance training here is unmistakable. Holding onto the swaying upper rope when balancing on the swaying lower rope makes excellent training of the sense of balance as well as the trunk muscles. These abilities are fundamental for being able to sit still on a chair.

Social-emotional: there is room for more than one and cooperating with friends on walking over the swaying ropes is a true cooperation task that takes teamwork and tolerance.

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.

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.

Twisted climbing net

Physical: supports cross coordination as well as sense of balance and space. Core, leg and arm muscles are trained, too. These physical skills add to self awareness and helps when judging your body in time and space, a crucial skill.

Social-emotional: the twisted shape creates varied seating possibilities and interaction from one side to the other. This develops empathy and cooperation.

Monkey bar

Physical: the upper body muscles that are under-challenged due to sedentary lifestyles are developed immensely. So does the coordination and trunk stability. This type of training is preventive for backaches and cross coordination supports cooperation between the left and right brain halves, necessary for other skills such as reading.

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.
