With this equipment, the child learns to do a lot of things on different levels: the child can climb the stairs with use of hands and then run down to the bottom level. They can also jump down from the top to the bottom. Children can do the same activities without the use of hands which means that it will be more difficult to achieve because they also have to learn how to keep their balance; otherwise they will fall off. The most difficult task is to crawl above and below the tubes of the stairs and then either jump or run down from top to bottom. In this case, the children improve their flexibility by moving their body like a snake. If a child can do this well, he's really an agility expert!
