The Butterfly Triple is an activity packed, varied climbing magnet for children. The elegantly curved wings and their varied twisted climbs, on ground level and above, invite children back again and again. The blue membranes accentuate the shapes and climbing journeys possible and add a meeting point above ground level in the intriguing climb-scape. There are rich physical challenges in climbing the twisted nets or gliding down the banister bars. Climbing the Butterfly trains cross-coordination and balancing techniques, which stimulate the child’s ability to control movements, and ultimately to move confidently through the world. Thanks to the transparency of the Butterfly nets, the children can see each other and communicate across the Butterfly, from ground level to top and across. On ground level communication is invited with the talking tubes, a highly intriguing play detail for children. Two blue, swaying Loops invite fun meetings, two, four or more together. So do the swaying ropes with discs, suspended under the loop. For the sense of wonder, three Optic Panels inspire talks thanks to the moiree effect patterns: they look different depending on how children focus, which adds to talks and logical thinking skills.

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.
sitting, hanging and leaning on the rope suspended panels train balance and cross-coordination.
discussing the patterns and reasoning with others supports negotiating and listening skills, training tolerance and empathy.
wondering about, understanding and explaining the reasons for the pattern occurrence support logical thinking skills.
develops cross coordination and trains major muscles when climbing up or down.
socializing and friendly competition when climbing up and down with friends.
cross coordination and muscle strength are trained.
turn-taking and cooperation.
sitting and lying enjoying the swaying movements stimulate the sense of balance.
meeting, taking a break is invited. Turn-taking supports the skills necessary to learn how to avoid conflicts.
the connected nets make climbers feel the movements of the other climbers, adding a dimension of fun and demanding concentration. All muscle groups are trained, as well as cross coordination.
room for breaks for many and support cooperation and turn-taking skills.
coordination is supported when going down, as well as arm and core muscles. Landing strengthens bone density, which is built for life in childhood.
turn-taking and risk-taking.
children develop cross-body coordination and muscle strength when stepping onto the disc and climbing the rope. Their sense of balance is trained when swaying gently. The sense of balance is important for instance for being able to sit still.
socializing and turn-taking when deciding who should sit here.
encourages communication and social interaction.
evokes curiosity and stimulates an understanding of cause and effect and object permanence: objects and persons exist also when out of sight.
the bouncy membrane develops the sense of balance when the child stands, steps or sits here. A faster way up, due to the extra support of the membrane.
a meeting point for retreat from the rope landscape.

This product, Butterfly, Triple (COR17700), is provided by KOMPAN United Kingdom.
Turnable optic panels of two 7mm thick polycarbonate plates with a distance of 40mm. The inside graphic print consist of an inner image layer and outer transparent protection layer. Both PC panel and the water-based lacquer are UV stabilized to prevent fading of the print.
Hangout pod designed with a welded frame of two steel rings which are hot dip galvanized and powder coated. The membrane consist of friction-proof rubberized material of conveyor belt quality with excellent UV resistance.
Fully coloured EPDM rubber discs with smooth surface. The moulded EPDM surrounds a hot dip galvanised steel core that ensures both the stability of the discs and durable fixation to the rope.
Ropes of UV-stabilized PES rope strands with inner steel cable reinforcement. The polyester yarn is made from +95% post-consumer materials and is inductively melted onto each strand. The ropes are highly wear-and vandalism-resistant and can be replaced at site if needed.
The rope is fixed to the large steel pipe by a unique KOMPAN designed tightening solution. It consists of inner and outer nylon (PA6) bushings that guides the rope to an outside threaded aluminum part that tighten the rope.
Colored steel components have a base of hot dip galvanization and a powder coated top finish. This provides an ultimate corrosion resistance in all climates around the world. Other steel surfaces are hot dip galvanized inside and outside with lead free zinc.
Our product and sustainability data validation help customers make informed sustainable buying choices based on methods validated by Bureau Veritas.

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 enable 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).
