The amazing Canopus requires physical and agility skills. The variety of play activities mean lots of children, teens and tweens can play together at the same time. The varied spinning activities vastly train the motor skills ABC of agility, balance and coordination. The sense of balance is fundamental for all other motor skills and makes it possible for humans to manage the world securely. In the early teenage years, the sense of balance needs extra attention due to rapid physical growth. The Satellite and Musca spinners whirl around when children use their muscles and coordination to rotate smoothly. This is great for the understanding of rotation principles. Users can spin together too, encouraging cooperation and turn-taking skills.

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.
balance when standing, sitting and rotating, muscles develop when holding tight.
turn-taking, socializing.
logical thinking, figuring out how to make the spinner work with gravity, not against it.
the swaying movement stimulates the sense of balance, necessary to sit still on a chair.
meeting, taking a break and turn-taking are supported, skills necessary to learn how to avoid conflicts.
arm, leg and core muscles are developed by climbing up and through. Proprioception and spatial awareness are supported, both motor skills that help navigating the body in space.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enable comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
