The Trouper offers a playful way to make friends: with varied play for all, children will find play activities on the inside and outside of the Trouper, making them come play again and again. The accessible stairway has a Tic-Tac-Toe rules play panel and a hammock on the side, to provide for ground level play interactions. From the elevated level, varied slides provide thrilling heights and speeds, alone or with a friend. Sliding trains the sense of balance which is fundamental for all other motor skills and thus enhances children’s self-efficacy and their feeling of achievement. Looping the climbing pole or the stairway, and the two slides, trains cardio and muscles and make for long play sessions with friends.
