Ear
Social-Emotional
can be played from both sides, encouraging cooperation.
Cognitive
tactile variation helps children to understand the characteristics of different materials and their uses and teaches them cause and effect.
An iconic play-ground attraction that invites play and inspires stories, The Elephant is a fun space creator that toddlers return to again and again. Children investigate the playful manipulative items and create new stories: the banana, apples, and pears go from the mouth to the stomach. The Mouse and Elephant story is thrilling to little people. Storytelling and imagination are important for language development and thinking skills. The tactile variation, with rubber ear and smooth fabric tail adds to the tactile stimulation, and the space under the Elephant's tummy and trunk are great for climbing through, training cross-coordination. The holes facilitate peek-a-boo games, too which develops the infant's understanding of object permanence: that people and items still exist even if they are out of sight for a while.
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.
