Children can sway gently or energetically, lay down, sit or stand in the Hammock creating an ultimate WOW experience at the playground. Children of all abilities will take joy in the social potential of the hammock, time and time again. Pushing and pulling the friends in the hammock from side to side is great fun and also trains arm strength. The swaying motion supports important motor skills such as the sense of balance and space. The swaying movements support the understanding of rhythm. In combination, these three skills assist the child's ability to navigate space securely, as when judging distances and speed in traffic. The sense of balance is fundamental for all other motor skills and helps the child's motor stability as in preventing falls and being able to sit still for longer periods of time.
