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.

No matter their age, children love a good slide! When visiting a playground, the slide is often the activity they run to first, and demand a final play on before heading home – ‘just one more go, please!’ Sliding trains the child's spatial awareness, which among other factors is important for managing traffic safely and their sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright sliding down.
The Spacenet motivates children to climb up high with its sturdy, bouncy ropes. The feeling of achievement when having climbed to the top is phenomenal, making children come back again and again to have more of the bouncy climbing fun. Climbing the inter-dependent meshes of the transparent net is challenging and fun whilst training fundamental motor skills like spatial awareness and sense of balance. These skills are necessary to judge distances, for example, navigate traffic safely.
