Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
Wow! The whimsical bird-look of the Little Duckling is a play attractor. And it rocks! Rocking is a thrilling activity that attracts young children immensely. It is not only fun, but helps to build physical and cognitive skills as well. The rocking movements of the Little Duckling respond to the child's own forward and backward movements. This takes coordination and it develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. These are fundamental motor skills that help the child move confidently as well as sit still on a chair. The trunk stability is trained, supporting that. The responsive movements also help children to be aware of cause and effect: When they move their body, it has an impact on the Little Duckling. This understanding widens the infant's world and builds a fundament for understanding logical thinking.

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 movement
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.
