Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
Octopus is one of the mysterious inhabitants of the seven seas. Alone, in pairs or with co-riders standing on octopus' head, the ride on this seesaw is a great challenge for balance and coordination. At each end there is seating for two players opposite to each other. With eye-to- eye contact, they can coordinate their efforts and experiment with balance and speed. The centre position is meant for standing or crouching and offers a number of handholds, to secure the action, thus offering a safe position, but still great challenge for the more capable players.

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.
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.
Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
