Rope handholds
Physical
provides stability in balancing. Makes possible hanging in arms, training upper body muscles.
Social-Emotional
adds a feeling of security.
The Balance Combination appeals to children, with the simple play message of balancing. The variation of balance is the great attraction: the steps on the one beam motivate jumping or balancing from one to the next. The solid beam on the next pole has an additional rope support, to cater for those who are less confident. When walking or jumping from pole to pole, children train their proprioception and sense of balance. Balance and proprioception are fundamental for confidently managing the body in its surroundings. This is important for instance when navigating street traffic safely. Balancing across the Balance Combination with friends also trains turn-taking and negotiation. These are important social-emotional skills that are basic for the ability to form friendship and relate to peers.

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.
