The Balance Poles are wonderful climbing, sitting and meeting ropes that children will want to try out repeatedly. One of the reasons is that they move when children climb upon them and when they are balancing. Children love the responsive play more than anything. They will balance across the four ropes of the Balance Poles and train their balance and proprioception while doing so. Balance and proprioception are fundamental skills for confidently managing the body in its surroundings. This is important for instance when navigating street traffic safely. But it also plays an important role for children's self confidence. Balancing across the Balance Poles with friends also trains turn-taking and negotiation. These are important social-emotional skills that are basic to the ability to form friendship and relate to peers. All in all, so much more than play.

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.
the big rubbery discs are great support for the feet when climbing or crossing. This trains cross coordination, balance and arm and leg muscles. This combination adds to the child's body adeptness and awareness, adding security to movements.
the seats make a nice destination and meeting point and take cooperation when crossing by others on the way through the module.
