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.

Specifications
The Forest Giraffe is the friendliest animal on the savanna. It immediately attracts young children and with a wide variety of activities, toddlers can play for a long time and want to come back again and again. Thanks to the transparency in design and the wide platform, supporting children's play is easy for carers. The climbing net assists cross-coordination and proprioception (sense of self-movement and body position), both fundamental motor skills in navigating the world securely. The nice den under the green platform has varied entry points to evoke the sense of wonder and logical thinking of space and measures in the child: Can I get through these openings? What shape are they? The rich tactile details are lovely to touch and take toddlers on a journey of understanding e.g. object permanence: pulling the tail back and forth shows that things can disappear but still exist.
This product, Forest Giraffe (MSC5416), is provided by KOMPAN Australia.
Quality that lasts
Panels of 19mm EcoCore™. EcoCore™ is a highly durable, eco-friendly material, which is not only recyclable after use but also consists of a core produced from 100% recycled material.
Climbing nets are made of UV-stabilised PP rope with inner steel cable reinforcement. The rope is induction treated to obtain maximum fixation between steel and rope, which provides excellent wear and tear resistance. All rope connectors are made of 100% recyclable PA material.
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.
Play activities like the play sphere are made of injection moulded high-quality UV-stabilised nylon (PA6). Nylon has good wearing and impact strength.
