Handhold
Physical
the possibility to hold onto more areas of the handhold ensures a good grip, necessary for spinning intensely. This trains the hand and arm muscles.
The Caroussel is a classic playground magnet which attracts children again and again. The secret of its success is the immediate response it gives children: when they move, it spins them right back. The roomy platform allows for seated, standing, even lying, spins. This accomodates users of a span of ages and abilities. When standing, the handholds offer a firm grip. This may be necessary on exhilarating wild rides. Apart from being great fun, the caroussel offers great muscle training when children kick the caroussel into motion. The spinning also trains crucial motor skills such as the senses of balance and space. These are fundamental for judging distances and for instance navigating streets securely. The sense of balance also makes it possible for children to sit still on a chair. So carousels are more than mere fun.

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.
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.
