Overview
Explore Off-roader has been developed in collaboration with children The Explore Off-roader is very popular with children. The Off-roader is targeted at 2 to 5-year-olds, where each play activity is adapted to the children’s naturally creative, physical, cognitive and social development. The Explore Off-roader was developed in collaboration with children – in a so-called co-creation design process, where the children’s input was crucial for the final design of both the off-roader and the numerous play activities. The off-roader has been tested as a prototype several times, and along the way, we have learned more about how children play, so that we have been able to improve the various activities and provide even better play experiences. An activity-packed off-roader From the driver’s seat, several children can operate the Explore Off-roader’s controls, with the steering wheel, moveable buttons and the built-in walkie-talkie. At the front is a moveable towing hook, which also functions as an abacus for number play etc. The headlights also move, stimulating children’s fine motor skills while serving as an element for role-play. At the back, there is space for passengers to sit comfortably and enjoy the view, or to stand and control the vehicle’s telescope. A large window separates the passenger seat and the driver’s seat, yet provides plenty of opportunity for children to interact. From the back seat, there is access to a number of small activities, for example the moveable fuel tank cap and the rotating spare wheel.
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.
Role-play
Children love role-play. It improves their understanding of themselves and their surroundings, because by imitating the world around them, they learn more about patterns of behaviour, social interaction and handling emotions.
Develops fine motor skills
The many moving parts support the development of children’s fine motor skills. Through the stimulation of their fine motor skills, children learn to make small precise movements which, among other things, make it easier for them to hold and control a pencil.
Emotional development
The play equipment encourages cooperative play and role-play, which helps children to mirror each other’s behaviour. This stimulates their emotional development and teaches them to handle their own reactions and emotions.
A healthy imagination results in better problem-solving
Every function and detail on the play equipment trigger the children’s creativity when playing. Imaginative and creative play is good for children as it strengthens their ability to be flexible and creative in their problem-solving.
