The Barn with its farm themed illustrations is a great attractor of dramatic and fun physical play for all abilities in younger children. The rich variety of manipulative and fun physical activities on elevated and ground level support dramatic play scenarios for all children. Varied climb, crawl, sway and slide activities attract hugely and ensure physical activity that trains important motor skills, such as cross-coordination. This builds body confidence and ultimately stimulates the cross-modal perception, which supports for instance reading skills. The slide, Curly Climber and double slide vary the choice of going down – which benefits all abilities and ages. And on ground level, around and under the platform, a lovely music panel gathers children in an attractive meeting point, which features a hammock to enjoy the music from, while swaying gently. Dramatic play is the favorite play type for younger children. When supported by richly varied manipulative and thematic items, KOMPAN Play Institute research shows that the retention and dramatic play increases, even in young children.

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).
