Handrails and side poles
Physical
pushing or pulling the carousel strengthens arm and leg muscles.
Social-Emotional
pushing and pulling others facilitates cooperation and empathy: when to stop, how to take turns etc.
The red, spinning carousel attracts children and adults alike. With its seating platform height and three handholds many body positions are supported, making this a play champion again and again. The choice of body positions also supports users with various physical disabilities. Pushing or pulling the carousel into motion from the outside, children take turns spinning or being spun. Pushing and pulling trains leg and arm muscles as well as condition. Spinning, apart from being a stomach tickling joy, trains the vestibular system and the whole sense of balance. This is fundamental for the child's ability to move around the world safely. It's fundamental for walking, running and even being able to sit still and concentrate. With a under-developed sense of balance, children can focus on nothing but keeping equilibrium, even when seated. So the fun of carousel spinning serves a true purpose.

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.
Flat platform
Physical
enables varied body positions e.g. lying, sitting, standing when spinning.
Social-Emotional
spaciousness invites bigger groups of children playing together.
Rotation
Physical
pushing or pulling it into motion, children use their muscle strength and strengthen their cardio. The rotation develops the sense of balance and space when enjoying the ride.
Social-Emotional
listening and negotiating how slow or fast to go, children develop their empathy and cooperation skills.
