Play Value
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.
Rotation
Physical
pushing or pulling it into motion, children use their muscle strength and strengthen their cardio. The rotation develops the sense of balance and space when enjoying the ride.
Social-Emotional
listening and negotiating how slow or fast to go, children develop their empathy and cooperation skills.
Internal ball-bearing spinner
Cognitive
logical thinking, figuring out how to make the spinner work with gravity, not against it.
Round seat
Social-Emotional
turn-taking, cooperation, socializing.

Quality that lasts
The Spica bearings are installed in a one-piece design bearing house with integrated drain holes for water passage. The two large steel bearings are fully closed and lifetime lubricated.
Discs are made of highly durable, eco-friendly HDPE, which is not only recyclable after use, but is also made of +95% recycled post-consumer material from e.g., food packing waste in both core and colorful outer layer.
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.
The top handle has been designed in shape and diameter so as to fit optimally for kids, and the special thermoplastic rubber (TPV) rubber surface makes it nice to touch.
KOMPAN GreenLine versions are designed with ultimate environmentally friendly materials with lowest possible CO2e emission factor such as EcoCoreTM panels of +95% post consumer recycled ocean waste.
