Physical
the rotation develops the sense of balance and space, children use their muscle strength and strengthen their cardio.
Social-Emotional
listening and negotiating how slow or fast to go, children develop empathy and cooperation skills.
The thrilling activity of rotating, rocking, and cooperating with a friend is hugely appealing to children of all ages. The WeHopper Mini is perfect in size for young children, and their enthusiasm for mastering the activity is pure play. When pushing with their feet and pulling with their arms, the WeHopper is set into motion, which trains coordination skills as well as muscles. The handholds allow for different grip heights so that a span of ages are able to get a firm grip. When rotating, the children stimulate their sense of balance, which is fundamental for all other motor skills and involves the ability to, for instance, sit still on a chair. The coordination of movements for the individual child, and not least the coordination of movements together with a friend, takes concentration and body mastery. This stimulates social skills and builds confidence in movement, supporting self-efficacy.

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.
Rocking movement
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance which are fundamental motor skills.
Cognitive
