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.

Specifications
The Pioneer is an inclusive play journey that makes children go wow. Thanks to the rich variation of play activities, children will come back again and again. A ramp leads through varied tactile play events to a vast platform with two slides. This allows for access to an elevated level. From the other end of the play structure, an accessible stairway winds up to the platform. On ground level there is a hammock, a desk for sand play, music panel and numerous tactile and fun features. Talk tubes allow fun contact across the structure. All of these activities train the child's logical thinking skills and creativity. The outside of the Pioneer offers three corners for exploratory play and a break from the wilder action of the ramp. The transparency in the structure allows for all round communication.
This product, Pioneer (PCE200531), is provided by KOMPAN Ireland.
