Handhold
Physical
opens more hold positions and ensures good grip, necessary for rocking intensely which trains hand and arm muscles.
The Forest Bug with its chunky, rocking body attracts toddlers for a fun bouncy ride. The cute critter offers tactile variation with its steel hand hold, rubber foot support, and smooth, wooden body. This tactile richness supports younger children’s understanding of material characteristics such as weight, smoothness, temperature, and flexibility which is important for risk management. The soothing, rocking movement of the Forest Bug trains the sense of balance and spatial awareness which are crucial for body confidence, e.g. in avoiding falling. A good sense of balance is essential for the ability to sit still and concentrate. The spring ensures hours, years, and decades of fun.

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, which stimulates the senses of balance and space, fundamental for managing the world securely.
Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
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.
