Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
Take a ride with farm animals from the fairytale the Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Andersen. A large number of players can find space to join the trip on this raft. Safely seated at both ends with hands and feet positioned on secure bars, the youngest will enjoy a good rocking. The more experienced player can sit, lie or stand on the center plate, from where they can influence the ride considerably. All involved players will have to cooperate, to find out how to make the ride a success for all. The soothing movement makes one want to sing and enjoy the rhythm.
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.
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.
Foot support
Physical
the possibility of footrest supports intensive rocking. Rocking stimulates the senses of balance and space that are fundamental in managing the world securely.
Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
Center platform
Physical
supports agility, balance and coordination when standing, using leg and core muscles, building bone density when jumping. Facilitate sitting and lying also, allowing for users with disabilities.
Social-Emotional
provides an inclusive space. Point for gathering and for care givers assisting. Teamwork and socializing when rocking together.
Double seating option
Social-Emotional
the possibility of two rocking together supports cooperation skills. Furthermore, the physical contact with others is great for the well-being of children, measurable in lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
