Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
Every knight and every princess needs a horse. The Story Maker horse presents two colour variants, a black steed for races and an elegant, strong mare for a ride in the woods. The rider is placed in the saddle and well balanced with a leg on each side and from there can choose to rock with the highest momentum or to enjoy a more controlled ride.

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.
Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
Foot support
Physical
a good footrest supports intensive rocking. Rocking stimulates the senses of balance and space that are fundamental in managing the world securely. To rock intensely also supports coordination and muscle strength.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance. These are fundamental motor skills that help the child's ability to sit still on a chair which takes a good sense of balance.
Cognitive
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
