Social-Emotional
encourages communication and social interaction.
Cognitive
evokes curiosity and stimulates an understanding of cause and effect and object permanence: objects and persons exist also when out of sight.
The Hiker is a phenomenally spacious and truly varied play structure offering physical, social-emotional and cognitive-creative activities for large groups of the younger children. The fun activities attract children back time after time. The bouncy climbing access is a physical and social play opportunity, as are the climbing nets, sturdy panel climbing walls, stairs and rope ladders. The features are a huge factor in training the cross-coordination of toddlers. These are motor skills, fundamental for managing vital proficiencies like space awareness and its importance with road safety. On the elevated level, a vast selection of bridges and exits ensure thrilling play, stimulating social interaction and turn-taking skills. At ground level, many corners for quieter play are added, and a corner for sensory play adds training of agility and thinking skills, for all abilities.

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.
