Hill climber rope
Physical
trains cross coordination, balance and muscle strength. Cross coordination also stimulates cross-modal perception, necessary for skills such as reading.
Social-Emotional
children cooperate when rappelling together.
The fun of fundamentals makes children play repeatedlyn: the Hill Climber invites and supports rappelling up steep hills. The excellent combination of stemming the feet onto the hill, holding tight to the rope, and leaning back, walking upwards is a repeatedly thrilling experience. Apart from being great fun, the combination of movement also provides great gross motor and muscle training. Hands, arms and upper body get trained when gripping the perfectly sized rope, legs get trained walking upwards, and core muscles are put to work when leaning back, tensioning the core. The motor skill training is intense: the spatial awareness, the sense of balance, and the coordination come to full use. This stimulates the overall motor confidence of the child and helps train the ability to, e.g., judge distances – which is important in street traffic.
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.
