Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
The classic Albatross seesaw motivates children to join in with play, rocking together. The whimsical design, a KOMPAN classic, attracts children's attention, and the sturdy hand and foot supports allow for mild or wild rocking. The spring base makes it possible for different ages, even adults and children, to rock together. Risk seekers can stand on the middle platform, sensing the movement created by the others. The platform also allows for socializing, lying or sitting. There is room for a care giver, too, so it becomes a fully inclusive piece. The seats at the end are big enough for older children as well as adults, and the fun thrill of rocking, individually, or in pairs or groups, will make children play for longer. Rocking on the Albatross trains the children's muscles and motor skills, e.g. balance and coordination. The Albatross supports development of social-emotional skills including cooperation, consideration and turn-taking.

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 thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
Rocking together
Social-Emotional
the possibility of rocking two together trains cooperation skills. Consideration of others when rocking.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance. These are fundamental motor skills that help the child's ability to sit still on a chair which takes a good sense of balance.
Cognitive
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.
Foot support
Physical
a good footrest supports intensive rocking. Rocking stimulates the senses of balance and space that are fundamental in managing the world securely. To rock intensely also supports coordination and muscle strength.
Center platform
Physical
supports agility, balance and coordination when standing, using leg and core muscles, building bone density when jumping. Also facilitating sitting.
Social-Emotional
teamwork and socializing when rocking together.
