Play Value
What do you get when you take many Log Steppers of varying heights and put them together? Stepper Clusters! Why are Stepper Clusters attractive to children? They are irregular and unusual. Each log is a different height so concentration and attention is needed to navigate the clusters. Each step must be considered and body awareness develops as children think with each movement.
The diameter of the logs are the perfect size for toddler, preschooler or child-sized feet or for sitting.
Merits
Stepper Clusters are an organic and creative play structure. They may be a spot to sit, a place to climb on all fours or a fun experience of stepping or jumping through irregular surfaces. They are a great feature to purposefully serve younger children though older children also find them engaging!
Materials
Stepper Clusters are made of White Oak sourced from Ontario and the Northeastern United States. Steppers have a diameter of 10 inches. Stain may be applied to vertical log surfaces.
Accessibility
When located on an accessible surface, Stepper Clusters are an accessible ground level play feature.
