Handhold
Physical
opens more hold positions and ensures good grip, necessary for rocking intensely which trains hand and arm muscles.
Rocking on the Dolphin is a wildly attractive playground activity that children will return to again and again. Children are able to control the play by moving their bodies to make the Dolphin rock. They will feel delighted to have the dolphin respond to their movements. The two sides support the seated position, and the foot and handholds provide a stable point to stem feet and hands from, to create the movement. This is not only fun but is also good for physical and cognitive development. When children begin to learn the connections between their bodies and their movements, they begin to make cognitive connections to a range of body movements and sensations. The dolphin theme will be attractive to the child's imagination and will encourage wonderful physical and imaginative play.

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.
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.
Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
