Themed element
Cognitive
set a tangible theme and thus spur dramatic play. Dramatic play is a great trainer of language skills.
The Dolphin Work Station attracts younger children with its fun design and the temptation to play with sand and water. Sand and water play is serious play for young children, who benefit greatly from opportunities to experiment with the properties of natural materials feeling, forming, and building with it. This is supported by a sand basin, a sand funnel, and a sand shovel. The funnel evokes children’s cognitive in-sights in object permanence. The two heights of the table support children ergonomically across ages and abilities. The work station has ample room for young children to play side by side or together which supports children’s social-emotional skills as they grow to form friendships and social relations. The sand & water work station is not only attractive, it motivates children to play their way to insights and friendships.
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.
