Slide & Swing Tower

Swing seat

Physical: balance, coordination and spatial awareness are developed when swinging. These are necessary skills for judging distances and navigating. The swinging movement trains the arm, leg and core muscles, and strengthens bone density when jumping off.

Cognitive: cause and effect understanding, managing rhythm and thinking skills for younger children when swinging.

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.

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.
