The whimsical shapes and colours of the Seesaw with 3 seats evoke children’s curiosity: they want to try it out. The vibrant colours are consciously chosen to support the understanding of rules for the 3+ year olds: they can choose their colour. The springs make it possible to rock individually or in uneven numbers. The platform in the middle supports laying and standing. The platform can be used to start games or as a meeting point. Rocking on the Seesaw, especially when standing on the middle platform, trains the child’s sense of space and balance. These are crucial as a basis for navigating the world securely. Good mastery of space and balance is the basis of, for instance, being able to sit still. When the sense of balance is not developed, children cannot focus on anything else. So the sense of balance needs to be automatised in the early years. The Seesaw with 3 seats is a fun, playful way to do that.
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.

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).
