The Crazy Hen was a token for play for 50 years: the whimsical bird-look evokes children’s curiosity. The rocking sensation make them want to come back again and again. Movement response is one of the greatest play sensations there are. Apart from the fun, this adds a feeling of control to the child’s play. The responsive movement also trains the understanding of cause and effect in young children: that actions have an effect on the world. Rocking on the Crazy Hen trains the child’s sense of balance and space as well as hand and arm muscles when holding tight and pushing your feet hard into the foot support. All of these basic motor skills and muscle training actions help train the child’s bodily cognition, supporting important life skills such as being able to sit still on a chair or navigate traffic securely.

“I want to go on the train!” The roomy Railway Carriage attracts children with its appealing theme of travel. The train theme is a great play starter that will have children stay for a long time, describing where they’ll go next. This can unite in play across generations. The storytelling dimension of dramatic play is hugely present in the Railway Carriage. This stimulates language development and logical thinking skills when sequencing stories correctly in time. The lovely compartments with blue seats spur numerous social games, when children define my space and your space. The open platforms at the rear and front allow for seating, too.
