The Explorer ship is a magnet for children's play, with its immensely varied play offerings, above and below deck. The boarding options are endless, with planks that can be climbed vertically, nets and climbing cleats. This all trains cross-coordination and muscles. The many manipulative activities: binoculars, cannons, and the wheel stimulate tactillty and fine motor skills and inspire hours of dramatic play. Apart from being great fun, it supports children's cognitive development and social-emotional skills. In addition to dramatic play, children develop their physical skills. Once up on deck, the children can take many ways across or down. The slide adds excitement and trains children's sense of space.
