Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
Rocking on the Cat is a fun and motivating playground activity that children will return to again and again. Children are able to control the equipment's movement by moving their bodies to make the Cat rock. They will feel delighted to have the springer respond to their movements. The two sides support the seated position, and the foot and hand holds provide a stable point to stem feet and hands from, to create the movement. This is not only fun, but also good for physical and cognitive development. When children begin to learn the connections between their bodies and their movements, they start to make cognitive connections to a range of body movements and sensations. The cat 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.
Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
Foot support
Physical
the possibility of footrest supports intensive rocking. Rocking stimulates the senses of balance and space that are fundamental in managing the world securely.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance. These are fundamental motor skills that help the child's ability to sit still on a chair which takes a good sense of balance.
Cognitive
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
