Riding an octopus is a fun and rare treat for visitors to the deep sea. Alone or in pairs, the ride on this seesaw is an exciting challenge in balance and coordination for its riders. At each end there is seating for two players opposite of each other. The Octopus Seesaw facilitates eye contact, and it is therefore a great piece for initiating play between children. Children can coordinate their efforts and experiment with balance and speed.
