The Colorado is fantastic and attracts children from afar. The wide variety of activities encourages children to come back again and again. The Colorado offers ample climbing for high numbers of active children. The tower is all play, the exterior is as climbable as the interior, making play possible inside and out. This supports classic schoolyard games like "the ground is made of lava". The varied climbing units such as the play shell, climbing walls, Jacob's ladder and tricking posts, train proprioception and cross-body coordination, which are fundamental for children's mathematical understanding. The banister bars add a thrilling reward of gliding down. Apart from climbing, there are ample points for a break with friends: the swaying play shell under the platform is a gathering point for all, and the hammock is a nice place to rest and sway. The tic-tac-toe provides cognitive stimulation and is a social activity.

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.
cross coordination and spatial awareness as well as upper body muscles when hanging with arms. This is especially important due to the sedentary lifestyles of today's children.
turn-taking and cooperation.
logical thinking when going from 2nd to 3rd step, changing feet.
handhold provides good grip for less confident climbers. Pulling yourself up and in trains upper body muscles.

the swaying movement stimulates the sense of balance, necessary to sit still on a chair.
meeting, taking a break and turn-taking are supported, skills necessary to learn how to avoid conflicts.
coordination is supported when going down, as well as arm and core muscles. Landing strengthens bone density, which is built for life in childhood.
turn-taking and risk-taking.
muscle strength, cross coordination, and spatial awareness when climbing.
encourage socializing when seated on the bars.
coordination and sense of balance when swaying.
meeting, pushing friends gently back and forth, turn-taking.
communication and cooperation exploring the maze with friends.
stimulates memory when memorizing maze routes.
develops children's cross coordination, eye-hand coordination and muscle strength when climbing up or down.
turn-taking and self-regulation are trained, both important life skills.
climbing supports cross coordination, proprioception, and the development of major muscle groups and hand strength.
