Handhold
Physical
opens more hold positions and ensures good grip, necessary for rocking intensely which trains hand and arm muscles.
The Sea Lion is an exciting springer that attracts and supports children’s relentless play, again and again. The rocking sensation is a great movement response, which is one of the greatest play sensations there are. Apart from the fun, this adds a feeling of control to the child’s play. The responsive movement also trains the understanding of cause and effect in young children: that our actions have an effect on the world. This stimulates logical thinking. Rocking the Sea Lion trains the child’s sense of balance and space as well as leg and arm muscles when holding tight and pushing their feet hard into the foot supports. All of these basic motor and muscle skills help train the child’s bodily cognition, supporting important life skills such as being able to sit still on a chair or navigate traffic securely.

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.
Foot support
Physical
the footrest supports intensive rocking, simulating the senses of balance and space and supports coordination and muscle strength.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance which are fundamental motor skills.
Cognitive

Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
