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.
Climbing net
Physical
the inclined net supports the upward climbing movement of the body. The net supports cross-body coordination, which impacts coordination of the right and left part of brain, fundamental for other skills such as the ability to read. The asymmetry of the net challenges the children's climbing.
Ladder with rope
Physical
cross coordination and eye-hand coordination are supported when children climb the ladder. Leg and core muscles are used intensely. Upper body muscles are developed when children pull themselves upwards in the rope.
Social-Emotional
learning about turn taking and cooperation.
Slide
Physical
sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.
Social-Emotional
empathy stimulated by turn-taking.

The Tower Slide appeals immensely to children. With its climb and slide variation, children will try it out again, training cardio and muscles as they loop the slide and the varied climb accesses. The inclined net access is a fun challenge to climb, and it trains the child's proprioception: the automatized awareness of where the body parts are in space a how much force and distance it takes to move securely. The sturdy stair-way is a even more challenging with its chunky-grip, vertical steps. The platform offers a nice view. The slide is an all time favorite, tickling the stomach all way down. When children slide, they train their core muscles, sitting upright while sliding down. This stimulates trunk stability, important for avoiding back and neck pains – a growing problem in children due to sedentary lifestyles. So playground play and the Tower Slide play a – fun- role in children's health.
