Cannon
Cognitive
the cannon set a tangible theme and thus spur dramatic play. Dramatic play supports language and communication skills.
The Castle Gatehouse will attract young children to play actively, using their motor skills to climb to the top, navigate the nets, and slide or glide to the ground. The two access points vary in difficulty: the stairs provides an age-appropriate access to the tower and helps to develop skills at climbing stairs, an important everyday task. The inclined net climb is higher and takes more concentration, stimulating proprioception and cross-coordination. These are fundamental for navigating the world securely. The open, inclined bridge is a true challenge, training balance skills and the sense of space. A slide or fireman's pole lead back to ground level. Sliding trains the sense of balance and the posture, both great for body confidence. The fine dramatic play area with treasure chest and bench under the tower invites social interaction and stimulates language development.

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.
Climbing net
Physical
supports physical strength and cross-body coordination, which impacts coordination of the right and left part of brain, fundamental for other skills such as the ability to read.
Treasure box
Cognitive
object permanence: hiding objects and finding them again. Spurs exploration and dramatic play, stimulating conversations.
Net bridge, inclined
Physical
walking the open net up or downwards develops balance, spatial awareness and cross coordination.
Social-Emotional
interaction with children outside, socializing. Cooperation and consideration, e.g. when passing others.
Slide
Physical
sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.
Social-Emotional
empathy stimulated by turn-taking.
Window with curtains
Physical
tactile stimulation supports sensory skills, when children explore characteristics of the materials.
Social-Emotional
social interaction between inside and outside, supporting turn-taking and cooperation.
Cognitive
understanding object permanence when playing, e.g. peek-a-boo. Dramatic play support, encouraging language skills.
Creative
leaving a mark, deciding how to place curtains.
Fireman's pole
Physical
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.
Social-Emotional
turn-taking and risk-taking.
Desk
Social-Emotional
fine meeting place and a space creator. Sharing and cooperation from both sides create a social scenario that supports communication and cooperation.
