CAROUSEL
Spinning on the Gonge Carousel is an enjoyable activity that helps children develop body awareness, while also stimulating the vestibular system. This type of movement can be particularly calming and beneficial for some children, including those with sensory processing needs.
The seat is slightly angled, making it easy for children to use their hands or feet to get the carousel moving. Younger children can comfortably push off with their feet, while others may use their hands to increase speed.
Active play on the Carousel supports the development of coordination, balance, and motor skills, while also helping children release energy in a positive way. As they spin, children learn to make quick decisions and adjust their movements, improving both focus and reaction skills. Holding on during rotation also helps build strength and muscle coordination, while the combined input from movement and vision supports overall balance development.
