The Small Slide Tower is a great play attraction developing preschoolers. The levels encourage physical play where the children can crawl, walk, and run the stairs, training cross-coordination. Cross-coordination enhances children’s ability to use both sides of the brain, supporting the internal structures enabling reading and thinking. Climbing the tower is rewarded with a stomach-tickling ride down the slide, which stimulates the sense of balance, fundamental for mastering any physical activity. Sliding trains core muscles when sitting upright, and develops children’s understanding of space, speed, and distances. When deciding who to go next, children develop empathy and turn-taking skills. The windows allow interaction outside and offer play together with friends. The roomy stairway allows for breaks and social interaction, too. The tower provides social play and exploration in a small footprint.
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.
sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.

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).
