Discovering the sixth sense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within our design processes of play equipment and play area settings we always strive to include a wide variety of activities that stimulate children\u2019s natural senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These senses include touch, smell, sight, sound and balance. However, there is another sense that is sometimes described as the ‘sixth sense’. Proprioception, otherwise known as Kinesthesia is the sense of self-movement and body position. It is our body’s ability to sense movement, action, and location<\/strong>. It is present in every muscle movement we have.  Proprioception allows you to walk without consciously thinking about where to place your foot next. It lets you touch your elbow with your eyes closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encouraging children to use their senses is crucial to their general development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 20 years of experience in manufacturing Play Equipment and design layout, Caledonia Play are proud to offer a range of equipment specifically designed for Inclusive Play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
