Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
The Fairytale Dog is a hugely inviting springer which attracts and supports children’s relentless play again and again. The rocking sensation is a great movement response. Movement response is one of the greatest play sensations there are. Apart from the fun, this adds a feeling of control to the child’s play. The responsive movement also trains the understanding of cause and effect in young children: that their actions have an effect on the world. Rocking the Fairytale Dog trains the child’s sense of balance and space as well as hand and arm muscles when holding tight and pushing your feet hard into the foot support. All of these basic motor and muscle skills help train the child’s bodily cognition, supporting important life skills such as being able to sit still on a chair or navigate traffic securely.

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.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance. These are fundamental motor skills that help the child's ability to sit still on a chair which takes a good sense of balance.
Cognitive
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
Foot support
Physical
a good footrest supports intensive rocking. Rocking stimulates the senses of balance and space that are fundamental in managing the world securely. To rock intensely also supports coordination and muscle strength.
Eye
Social-Emotional
the eye evokes emotions of empathy, encouraging children to look the animal in the eye.
Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
