Introducing: The Scooter Carousel
small addition - big impact
Increase recess activity in your schoolyard
Looking for an option that takes up minimal space but will increase recess activity? The Scooter Carousel might be small, but it features one of children's absolute favourite play activities - spinning! Made for schools, it is a great stand-alone add on to your schoolyard.
Components
Hold on tight
The good hand support makes the carousel safe to use. The children can get a good grip while using their weight and balance to vary the speed.
Roomy platform
The platform allows multiple children to play at a time, and there is room for both seated or standing spins.
Fun with friends
The carousel encourages social interaction with friends. Want to make it spin? Teamwork is key to making the carousel spin around.
Multiple colour options
Get the carousel to match your existing playground with the different colour options. One of them being more sustainably conscious.
Apart from being physically exhilarating, spinning and rotation are essential for child development. It is one of the most efficient ways to train the sense of balance.

The research behind
Tweens love playgrounds
Tweens and teens are fare too physically inactive, but research from KOMPAN Play Institute shows how you best motivate them in physical play activity in playgrounds and gives you four main motivators.
Spin to think
New research shows that it isn't merely children's bodies and sense of balance that benefit from spinning. A great sense of balance affects their learning skills positively: a great sense of balance is closely connected to mathematical skills.
