The Wacky Spinner is highly challenging for the school age children and combines spinning and rocking in one. Rotating may be a challenging action, in comparison double spinning can be completely different. On the surface, the usual movement is recognized, but soon the user must learn to cope with an unexpected double turning effect. The children must learn to accept the movements and try to go with it.
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.
the curved platform makes balancing more difficult when the feet are placed in the middle, and easier when they are intuitively placed along the sides.
the rubbery feel adds skid-resistance and a comfortable, steady grip.
the movement from the tilted ball-bearing trains balance and proprioception, both important fundaments for movement control.
the challenge of balancing on a rotating, tilted platform supports self confidence and risk taking skills.

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).
