Handhold
Physical
the vertical handgrips ensure a firm grip at different heights, necessary for rocking intensely. This trains hand and arm muscles.
The Forest Bug with its friendly face and simple shape invites toddlers for shorter or longer rides, over and over again. Apart from its appealing size, the Forest Bug offers tactile variation with its steel hand hold, rubber foot support and smooth, wooden body. Tactile richness is a main motivator, especially in younger children. It supports their understanding of material characteristics such as weight, smoothness, temperature and flexibility, an important skill for assessing risk. The spring ensures hours, years and decades of fun. The soothing, rocking movement of the Forest Bug trains the sense of balance and the spatial awareness, essential for the ability to sit still and concentrate. These skills are also crucial for developing body confidence and learning how to avoid falling.

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
the possibility of footrest supports intense rocking. Rocking stimulates the senses of balance and space that are fundamental in managing the world securely.
Theme
Cognitive
suggests a theme and supports dramatic play, which stimulates language and communication skills.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movement increases 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.
