| | | To ensure KOMPAN products are designed appropriately for each age group with the maximum play value, KOMPAN founded the KOMPAN Play Institute (KPI). The KPI is a network of child development experts who conduct play research, guide product development, and educate play environment designers on the importance of quality play value and design. KOMPAN's focus on children and the benefits of play is reflected in every product we create. The issues facing children today, including epidemic obesity rates and sedentary lifestyles, are putting greater importance on the development of quality play environments that deliver a variety of play experiences. Early Childhood Products Play signals for this age group are activities that are action-packed and that appeal to a preschooler's instinct for observation, | | pretending, and the need to socialize. KOMPAN offers two distinctive product lines for this age group, MOMENTS and ELEMENTS. The early childhod products we have chosen for this collection maximize play value and offer a broad range of unique and traditional play activities to add movement and inspiration to your playground. School Age Products Today's school age kids thrive on complexity and variety in their play equipment. Children in this age group enjoy practicing and perfecting their skills and enjoy group, rule-oriented games. Socialization and 'hanging out' with friends is also important. KOMPAN offers two distinctive product lines for this age group, EDGE and GALAXY. The products we've put together for this collection offer children exciting and appropriate play experiences with a wide variety of challenging activities to keep them interested. | | |
