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
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
Handhold
Physical
opens more hold positions and ensures good grip, necessary for rocking intensely which trains hand and arm muscles.
