Triple Tower

Climbing pole

Physical: cross coordination and muscle strength are trained.

Social-emotional: turn-taking and cooperation.

Plank bridge

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

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

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.

Climbing wall

Physical: climbing here develops cross coordination, which supports cross-modal perception, necessary for other skills such as reading.

Ring game

Social-emotional: cooperating from both sides on running rings up and down trains turn-taking and cooperation skills.

Cognitive: figuring out how to turn the ring to make it fit the holes and move up or down trains logical skills.

Creative: leaving rings in new positions leaves a mark in the playground.

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.

Maze panel

Social-emotional: communication and cooperation exploring the maze with friends.

Cognitive: stimulates memory when memorizing maze routes.

Pipe ladder

Physical: cross coordination and eye-hand coordination are supported when children climb the ladder. The climbing also supports leg and arm muscles.

Social-emotional: learning about turn taking and cooperation.

Climbing net

Physical: children develop cross-body coordination and muscle strength when climbing. The big meshes allow for climbing and crawling through, supporting proprioception and spatial awareness.

Social-emotional: the big meshes allow for more children to sit together and talk.
