Curved pole
Physical
more gripping or leaning support points when standing, sitting, hanging holding tight and spinning.
The quirky shapes, toothy top, and triangle platform invite curious 6-12 year olds to investigate this fun challenge. Children will need to experiment with body composition to truly master the Spica as they experience vestibular stimulation. Rotation experiences stimulate children's cognitive skills, in particular, logical thinking. The Spica will also challenge childrens, agility, balance, and coordination skills as they shift their body weight to control and build momentum. The Spica is a space-saving solution that can fit up to three children and promotes inclusion as children communicate and practice turn-taking.

Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child 'want' or developmentally 'need' to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.

Quality that lasts
The Spica bearings are installed in a one-piece design bearing house with integrated drain holes for water passage. The two large steel bearings are fully closed and lifetime lubricated.
The unique GALAXY super triangle deck plate has an inner core of galvanised steel and soft outer layer of PUR rubber. The rounded edges have a non-skid pattern for safe play.
The coloured top is made of injection moulded high-quality nylon (PA6) which is UV stabilised to ensure long lifetime. The two component design is assembled with steel pins around the steel pipe.
The steel surfaces are hot-dip galvanised inside and outside with lead-free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage, from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
