Social-Emotional
fine meeting place and a space creator. Sharing and cooperation from both sides create a social scenario that supports communication and cooperation.
The Trader, with its fine enclosed play space, is an opportunity for quieter play. The panels support sand play, and the sand-transporting funnels stimulate the childs understanding of object permanence: although you can't see something, like sand in a pipe, the sand is still there. The sand scoop panel adds activities for fine motor skills, but also trains logical thinking. When positioned correctly sand can be shifted from one scoop to the next. The fun climb panel invites shifting things through holes, but also adds a low climb-and-crawl over activity, creating two spaces: the inside and outside. The three sides have different heights, generating varied points for social interaction. The Trader can be used by many children, on the inside as well as outside.
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.
