Rocking together
Social-Emotional
the possibility of rocking two together trains cooperation skills. Consideration of others when rocking.
The quartet seesaw motivates young children to join in with play, rocking together. The classic KOMPAN design attracts children of all ages, and with four different seating options, encourages various body positions in rocking. The sturdy hand and foot supports allow for mild or wild rocking! The spring base makes it possible for different age ranges, including adults, to rock together. Those who don't ride can sense the movements when seated on the side planks. There is room enough for a care giver, too. The seats at the end are big enough for older children as well as adults, and the thrill of rocking, individually or in pairs or groups, will make children play for longer. Playing on the Quartet Seesaw trains children's muscles and motor skills, e.g. balance and coordination. The Quartet Seesaw also supports the development of social-emotional skills such as cooperation, consideration of others 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.
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.
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.
Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
