Wow! The Initiator is a fantastic structure with loads of play opportunities that will encourage children to stay and play, and return again and again. These play experiences will support children's development in all areas. The slide supports physical skills such as balance and spatial awareness. The climbing wall and winding stairway support strength and cross-coordination, important skills for physical as well as intellectual development. There is more than one way to climb, which supports play for children who seek variety and challenge. With so many play activities, social experiences are stimulated, especially with features like the flower panel, where children can cooperate across levels. The membrane panel is a truly thrilling event which supports motor skills and important social-emotional skills such as empathy.
Photos are for conceptual purpose only. Deviations can occur.
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.
sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.
empathy stimulated by turn-taking.
young children develop their understanding of space, speed and distances when sliding down quickly.
invites cooperation due to the two-sidedness and provides for parallel play.
stimulates cause and effect understanding and logical thinking: making sounds when running flower through vertical grooves.
children can leave their mark, placing the flowers in different positions.
agility, balance and coordination, force of movement and sense of effort. Development of bone density when jumping.
turn-taking, problem solving and cooperation when bouncing others. Relaxation when lying or sitting, being bounced by others.
understanding of cause and effect, logical thinking.
coordination is supported when going down, as well as arm and core muscles. Landing strengthens bone density, which is built for life in early childhood.
turn-taking and risk-taking.
young children develop their understanding of space, speed and distances when gliding down fast.
climbing supports cross coordination, proprioception, and the development of major muscle groups and hand strength.
two-sided climbing spurs social interaction and turn-taking.
trains cooperation and turn-taking as children put materials into the funnel.
the passing of materials through funnels supports the children's logical thinking and for younger children the understanding of object permanence: that materials don't vanish but run through at the other end.
invites interaction between outside and inside.
distorts the sound of the voice, developing logical thinking.
