Zig-zag slider
Physical
muscle strength, balance and coordination when climbing up and down, holding tight.
The Argo combines the best of social and physical play challenges. The combination of wobbly tube, stable seat and spaciousness attracts older children again and again. Children can sit, lie or stand on the Argo, training balance and coordination as it wobbles from side to side. When children stand or sit and rock from the Argo, they train their balance skills immensely. In the tween and teenage years this is important, as the sense of balance is particularly challenged due to the growth spurt. The sense of balance is the fundament of all other motor skills. It is important for managing the world and physically interacting with friends. This interaction grows in importance during the tween and teen period. The versatile Argo supports the urge to hang out together and have fun with physical challenges. It encourages active use of social-emotional skills.

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 because of this children will want to return to the item over and over again. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
