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.
Funnel
Social-Emotional
trains cooperation and turn-taking as children put materials into the funnel.
Cognitive
the passing of materials through funnels supports the children's logical thinking and for younger children the understanding of object permanence: that materials don't vanish but run through at the other end.
Climbing net
Physical
the inclined net supports the upward climbing movement of the body. The net supports cross-body coordination, which impacts coordination of the right and left part of brain, fundamental for other skills such as the ability to read. The asymmetry of the net challenges the children's climbing.
Switch
Cognitive
an understanding of cause and effect is developed when pushing something that moves. The theme of light switch supports dramatic play, which is known to stimulate language skills.
Turning wheel
Social-Emotional

The varied cross-body coordination stimulations ultimately builds cross-modal perception which supports e.g reading skills. The rich variety of manipulative activities both on elevated and ground level support the dramatic play scenarios and the play duration.
