Butterfly Seesaw

The Butterfly Seesaw takes the classic seesawing to new social heights: thanks to the springs, unequal numbers can play together. Children can even play this alone. That allows for varied play, a feature that will attract children again and again, for shorter or longer try-outs. The sense of space and rhythm and leg and arm strength of children is trained when they rock and seesaw. The two varied surfaces, a flat horizontal and a rounded horizontal, allows for more body positions: sitting, kneeling, lying. This accommodates a wider span of users, both age and ability-wise. Rocking trains the senses of balance and space. These are both crucial for body confidence, e.g. in avoiding falling. Doing this more children together develops important social-emotional skills such as turn- taking and cooperation.
