Rocking together
Social-Emotional
the possibility of rocking two together trains cooperation skills and consideration of others.
The City Hopper with its circular appearance and fun rocking capability attracts and supports children’s play again and again. The circular hand and footrests allow for a variation of support heights, accommodating more age groups. The rocking sensation is a great movement response. Movement response is among the top play attractions for children, it 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 actions affect the world. This stimulates logical thinking. Rocking the Cityhopper trains the child’s sense of balance and space and also builds arm and leg muscles, holding tight and pushing feet hard to increase speed. All of these basic motor and muscle skills build up the child’s bodily cognition and life skills such as being able to 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.
The circular hand and foot rest
Physical
the handhold provides a good grip, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains the hand and arm muscles and supports muscles and coordination.
