Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
The amazing, graceful Swan should be in all playgrounds. Children seek it out to rock and play again and again. The Swan is a truly universal design: the back, calf and foot supports, the shelter of the seat sides and the vertical handholds make it accessible and fun for all. Children rock the Swan using their leg, arm and core muscles to coordinate movements and set it into motion. Alternatively, the spring will move when children stem their back into the seat, without using leg muscles. The hand-holds support a relevant grip height for all. Rocking the Swan supports the senses of balance and space that are fundamental for body confidence and movement control. The spring’s response to movement builds an understanding of cause-and-effect. It supports logical thinking, a fundamental cognitive skill.

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.
Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
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 and back support
Physical
extra back and foot support for children with walking disabilities. Rocking promotes sense of balance and space, both important in navigating the body in space. Arms and leg muscles strengthened when holding tight and pushing with legs.
