Double Tower with Spider Net

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.

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.

V-net bridge

Physical: balancing across the beam develops the vestibular system as well as cross coordination.

Social-emotional: passing other children takes co-operation and teaches children turn-taking skills.

Vertical spider net

Physical: cross coordination is supported when creeping and crawling through, over and across the net. 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.

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.
