Ledon Basic Beamer Springer
Balance unit from the Ledon Basic range with a sprung stepping plate between fixed stepping stones for an extra wobble. For schools and play areas.
Overview
A meeting point and an extra challenge Beamer is one of the balance equipment options in the Basic series. The spring underneath the stepping plate in the middle gives you a different experience and challenge when you have to walk from one stepping stone to the other. The three surrounding stepping stones work well in connecting the obstacle course with others or with a play system. The series assortment of stepping stones and balance equipment can be put together to create a fun obstacle course, or they can be used individually as extra parts on the playground. When children use their ability to balance and take part in games on the balancing equipment, they stimulate their cerebellum. The cerebellum controls the muscle strength used when children, for example, hold a pen or lift a glass of water, thus making it beneficial for their further development to participate in games such as the floor is made of lava. Likewise the game tag also improves the children’s spatial awareness, as they must constantly keep an eye on the one catching them and where they have to go next.
Non-toxic and recyclable polyethylene
The polyethylene boards are 100% recyclable, and contain no hazardous chemicals. They are approved according to the specific requirements of both the EU Toy Safety Directive EN 71 and the US Food Directive.
Trains balance and coordination
Children use their whole body to keep their balance and coordinate their movements on the play equipment. Balance and coordination are fundamental to children’s physical and cognitive development, and it is therefore important that they are stimulated from an early age.
Competitive games
Balance equipment is ideal for competitive games such as tag. The games are motivating, and teach children to test their skills and know their limits.
Strengthens gross motor skills
Children use their major muscle groups and strengthen their gross motor skills when playing on the play equipment. Gross motor skills are vital for both their basic motor development as well as their fine motor skills.
Developing spatial intelligence
Children’s games are often fast-moving, and they must be aware of where their playmates are. This effectively trains their spatial intelligence, which is important for being able to judge distances, their sense of direction and recognising places etc.
Flexible solutions
The balance equipment works both as single pieces or in combination with other pieces of equipment, for example an obstacle course.
Trains the vestibular sense
When seesawing, playing on the swings and balancing, children train their vestibular sense. This has a bearing on their language and basic motor development as well as their movement and concentration. Children with a strong vestibular sense are more open to new challenges.
Springs with patented tensioning
The spring is designed to prevent fingers from getting caught. At the same time, our patented tensioning system ensures a long service life with minimal risk of breakage. The spring is also galvanised and lacquered to protect against rust.
