Tail
Social-Emotional
cooperation and turn-taking when pulling the tail.
Cognitive
understanding of object permanence: things can disappear without being gone forever.
Creative
leaving a mark by placing tail in your preferred position.
The Forest Giraffe is the friendliest animal on the savanna. It attract tots straight away. Thanks to the wide variety of activities, toddlers play for a long time and come back again and again. Thanks to the transparency in design and the wide platform, support of play is eased for carers. The climbing net assists cross-coordination and proprioception, both fundamental motor skills in navigating the world securely. The nice den under the green platform has varied entry points to evoke the sense of wonder and logical thinking of space and measures in the child: Can I get through these openings? What shape are they? The rich tactile details are lovely to touch. They take toddlers on a journey of understanding e.g. object permanence: pulling the tail back and forth shows that things can disappear but still exist.

Key Features
Panels of 19mm EcoCore™. EcoCore™ is a highly durable, eco friendly material, which is not only recyclable after use, but also consists of material produced from +95% recycled post consumer material from food packing waste.
Climbing nets are made of UV-stabilised PP rope with inner steel cable reinforcement. The rope is induction treated to obtain maximum fixation between steel and rope which provides excellent wear and tear resistance. All rope connectors are made of 100% recyclable PA material.
The steel surfaces are hot dip galvanised inside and outside with lead free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
Play activities like the play sphere are made of injection moulded high quality UV-stabalised nylon (PA6). Nylon has good wearing and impact strength.
