Mini Dino
Physical
balance when sitting or standing. The sense of balance is important for instance for being able to sit still.
Social-Emotional
negotiation and turn-taking when deciding who should sit here.
The Mini Dino 360 Swing attracts children like a magnet. The multiple directions of swinging high awake the sense of wonder and cause the children to return time and time again. The seat invites children to be seated or standing while swinging. The whirling swing movements of the Mini Dino train the child’s sense of balance and space. These motor skills are fundamental for body awareness and spatial judgement, e.g. when navigating street traffic securely. The major muscles get trained and bone density is increased when pushing, pulling and jumping off the Mini Dino. The soothing or wild swing movements support risk-taking judgement skills. The movements cause both thrill, laughter and relaxation.

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.
Swinging 360
Physical
the rotating swing movement trains spatial awareness intensely, balance and coordination are further developed.
Social-Emotional
cooperation and empathy are trained when cooperating on directions of swinging.
Cognitive
figuring out how to use your body to navigate the swing in different directions is a great trainer of embodied cognition.

Quality that lasts
The steel surfaces are hot dip galvanised inside and outside with lead free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
Powder coated top finish on top of galvanisation is processed in two steps: Light grinding and clean sweeping, powder coating - thickness 70-120 µm.
The swing hangers are made of stainless steel brackets and can move over two axis. The flange bearings are silicone enriched to make the suspension maintenance free. The connection to the rope is made with stainless steel chain.
Ropes of UV-stabilized PES rope strands with inner steel cable reinforcement. The polyester yarn is made from +95% post-consumer materials and is inductively melted onto each strand. The ropes are highly wear-and vandalism-resistant and can be replaced at site if needed.
The special designed seat is made of a stainless-steel insert covered with a soft layer of PUR rubber. The seat is impact tested to fulfill all global playground standards and the rope has an ergonomic handhold of a molded on PUR rubber handle.
