The Digger is a great attraction for younger children due to its dramatic and fun physical play. The rich variety of manipulative activities both on elevated and ground level support the dramatic play scenarios. We know from our KOMPAN Play Institute studies that manipulative play elements increase the play retention, as well as the dramatic play in very young children. This supports language skills and communication, helping children to understand the world. Rich climb, crawl, accessible stairway, and slide activities attract and ensures physical activity that trains important motor skills and major muscles. Multiple varied climbs up and crawls through holes ensure ample training of the cross-body coordination, which builds body confidence and ultimately stimulates the cross-modal perception. This supports reading skills. Dramatic play is the favorite play type for younger children. In the case of the Digger, storytelling themes of all kinds can be put to play for all children.
