The play tower is an ultimate play attraction for developing toddlers. The levels encourage physical play. Children crawl, walk and run the stairs. This activity trains cross-coordination, a fundamental skill for e.g. later reading skills. The play tower also has a slide, and sliding stimulates the sense of balance, which is fundamental for mastering any physical activity. The balcony allows interaction from the outside to the inside and adds a feeling for height which tickles the stomach. The peek-a-boo panel has curtains that can be drawn from both sides, inspiring social play and peek-a-boo.This supports the understanding of object permanence, that things don't cease to exist because they disappear. On the stair side a clock and faces panel motivates the understanding of time, space and measures as well as emotional expressions. The desk has a conveyor belt of small spheres providing a sensory input, stimulating cross modal perception, important for reading. The roomy stairway allows for breaks and social interaction, too. Lots of social play and exploration in a small footprint.

sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.
empathy stimulated by turn-taking.
young children develop their understanding of space, speed and distances when sliding down quickly.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
