Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
The Long Nose Truck appeals hugely to children and invites for hours of dramatic play, again and again. The varied climb and crawl activities in the truck’s sides and front ensures physical activity that trains cross-body coordination. This builds body confidence and stimulates the cross-modal perception which supports e.g. reading skills. The gear shift and steering wheel add to the imagined driving. Dramatic play is the favorite play type for younger children. Apart from building an understanding of the world, dramatic play trains language, communication and social-emotional skills intensely and builds the fundament of learning and making friends for life.

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.
Funnel
Social-Emotional
trains cooperation and turn-taking as children put materials into the funnel.
Cognitive
the passing of materials through funnels supports the children's logical thinking and for younger children the understanding of object permanence: that materials don't vanish but run through at the other end.
Supportive handholds
Physical
handhold provides good grip for less confident climbers. Trains upper body muscles.
Gear shift
Social-Emotional
cooperation, turn-taking, sharing.
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates languages skills.
