Multi-dimensional movements like spinning and rotating supply children’s brains with valuable, complex vestibular information. It connects input from head and body position in space, helping children maintain proper body posture and balance while they play. Our spinners offer optimal opportunities for interchangeable roles and group interaction.

Developmental Benefits:  Learn More

Proprioception: Core muscle groups are activated during spinning while the child holds the saddle. Adjusting to weight shifts improves postural stability.

Vestibular: Children can choose to spin quickly or slowly to increase their comfort with rotary movements and spinning in space.

Visual: Visual localization skills are developed by focusing on a single point during spinning.

Motor Planning: Children learn how to move and shift their weight to perpetuate the gravitational spin.

Social/Imagination: Endless ways for children to interact, create games and pretend play during spinning.
