Spinning Play Events
Multidimensional movements like spinning and rotating supply children’s brains with valuable, complex vestibular and proprioceptive information. This connects input from head and body position in space, helping children maintain proper body posture and balance while they play. Consider equipment that offers thoughtful benefits like high-backed support (like on the OmniSpin® Spinner) or convenient wheelchair access (like the We-Go-Round®). Both of these also provide opportunities for interchangeable roles and group interaction.
