Playground equipment-Why Toddlers Love Playground Springers



Once toddlers have overcome the initial fear of actually sitting on playground springers and start rocking, their brains and bodies will go through amazing developmental processes.  Instantly they will be riding a horse, a dragon, a car or an elephant and their imagination will run wild.  As they get older and stronger they will rock faster and faster.  Every time a toddler rides on playground springers they are improving their muscle strength and spatial awareness.

Building Muscle Strength
The wobbly nature of playground springers means that a child has to rely on their own muscle strength to stay on.  Children have to be able to grip the handles sufficiently to be able to rock and hold on tight.  The rest of their bodies are used to balance and create the force necessary to pull the springer into action. Pulling the handles to create the rocking action strengthens the core muscles in the body.

Developing Fine Motor Skills
Playground springers help children to improve their fine motor skills by strengthening grip and arm muscles.  Strengthening the core muscles and the neck muscles enable children to be able to sit up straight and manoeuvre a pencil as they learn to write.

Playground Springers Improve Balance
Believe it or not, when a toddler is rocking in a frenzy they are actually stimulating their inner ear through a process called vestibular stimulation.  Information about the world around them is processed by the vestibular in the inner ear.

Sleep Or Play
If a toddler is grumpy tired and still compliant, riding on playground springers will help their brains decide if they want to play or fall asleep.  The rocking motion is very comforting and the combination of the energy required to rock and the effect of vestibular stimulation can calm children down.

Independent Play
Playground springers allow children to play without their parents constantly supervising them all of the time.  Once a child is able to climb onto a springer all by themselves and rock confidently, they will feel very grown up indeed.  They will attract the attention of other small children and will learn how to share the springer.

 All Shapes And Sizes
Playground springers are available in a variety of designs and colours.  We also have springer seesaws and the inclusive Gravity Rider which allows all children to enjoy the benefits of rocking.

And thanks to these efforts, many, many more of them are. However, accessibility includes a whole spectrum of possibilities, and there's a big difference between something that's minimally accessible (ADA compliant), completely accessible, and truly inclusive of people with all types of abilities and challenges. "Accessible means you can get there. It means you may be able to use parts of the playground, but inclusive means you're playing together with all of the children," explained Mara Kaplan, founder of Let Kids Play!, a consulting firm that helps playground equipment manufacturers and others understand the full needs of a community—including those with disabilities. An inclusive playground is for everyone, and because of that—although...
