With its spinning, swaying angles and shapes, POLLUX attracts thrilling balance play in 6-15 year olds. The inclined spinners invite small or bigger groups of children to spin till they get dizzy. This is a favourite activity of middle school children. It will attract them for a long time, again and again. The overhead rocking activity and the swaying ropes with UFO's are attractive trainers of upper body strength and cooperation with peers. This is also great for those seated on top, being rocked. The Rocking Tube makes a really challenging climber to the Triangle Plates. These, and the play shell in the opposite Stabile provides rocking meeting points. The wide variety of spining, climbing, swaying and hanging activities intensely train the child's coordination and sense of balance, important motor skills for sitting still on a chair. The meeting points encourage cooperation and turn-taking, skills easily learned in play.
