All the animals are just ready and waiting for fun and excitement. The Crazy Horse offers a good safe ride, made extra secure by red tubing, which has a triple function of handle, footgrip and back-support. Up in the saddle with room for two - and then away to the wild west! The elephant and the turtle also offer secure and safe seating even at the fastest pace. The tall side panels, and blue tubing hand and footgrips, plus the comfortable wide seat of nonslip and shock-absorbing material, allows for maximum safety and comfort - also when climbing in and out.

When we originated the Crazy Hen, we created a spring-based classic that was to become the mother of all KOMPAN's feathered friends. The Crazy Hen first saw the light of day 30 years ago, but is still alive and kicking and a firm favourite with children all over the world.

The Aquarius is an item of playground equipment that would encourage even the most careful child to brave the waves. Wind surfing on the mighty waves becomes even more fun when the game is shared with another brave adventurer - there is plenty of space on the sailing board for two. The mast is made of shock-absorbing material allowing the daring windsurfers to take the rough with the smooth.

The nearest relative to the Crazy Hen is the Crazy Gander. Sitting within the safe and secure haven of the Crazy Gander, all children are able to experience the joy of a seesaw ride. The comfortable back-support, side panels and footgrips ensure good support and a safe ride, making this ideal playground equipment for children with poor coordination or physical disabilities. We are sure that most children will find it easy to get in or out of the Crazy Gander without adult help.

The Crazy Daisy is all about working together. When all the seats are filled the children have to coordinate their movements if they want the Crazy Daisy to move, although two children can have an equally enjoyable ride as four. The Crazy Daisy is aimed at quite young children and features accordingly two solid easy-to-grip handles placed in the middle of the equipment.

For Age: 3-8 Years
The Horse Seesaw offers a great ride in a safe position for two people. Acording to their mood or favourite colour, the rider can choose the red or the blue horse. With eye contact over the top of the horses heads the riding partners can coordinate their shared ride.

Flowers, bees and butterflies hand out an invitation for a beautiful trip around the garden. Safely seated at both ends with hands and feet positioned on secure bars, the youngest will enjoy a good rocking. The more experienced player can sit or stand on the center plate, from where they can influence the ride considerable. All involved players will have to cooperate, to find out how to make the ride a success for all. The soothing movement makes one want to sing and enjoy the rhythm.

For Age: 8-15 Years
With the third module things get really dramatic. A flying module is added to the two coupled modules, thus offering a number of totally new and exciting climbing routes. Not only is the airborne module much higher and more difficult to access, there are also tricky bouldering routes around the whole structure that get really tough, when you choose for the most difficult trip around the modules. Thus a climbing landscape is offered that can be a training arena, where enthusiastic training effort is rewarded with successfull climbing. To secure the internal fall height, no climbing grips are placed on the surface adjacent to the flying BLOQX. Instead the plate is provided with a non slippery texture to provide a safe foothold.
Category: Themed Play
For Age: 2-6 Years
Here you'll find play and climbing for hours for boys and girls! The destination is the rattling antenna on top. Who will get there first? This is real training of the spatial sense: On one side you can choose climbing wall grips, on the other you have holes, and on the third side a rope ladder. Horizontal climbing is possible too, when you climb through the holes, which also make contact between all three sides of the Climby Shifter possible. The floors are slightly slanting, thus presenting a great challenge to the sense of balance!

The Home/Rescue structure is a house on one side and a fire truck on the other. The two themes are inviting places for children to play that offer a variety of activities. The climbing wall and easy access invite climbers to choose their own way to reach the top. The climbing wall challenges children's problem solving abilities and is suitable for different skill levels - the left side is an easier route than the right. There is a fun slide leaving from the house and on the other side firefighters can quickly slide down the curly climber descending from the fire truck. Children will be delighted to find two hidden spaces underneath the structure, where they can move in with either a family or a crew of firefighters The play panel, look outs and play switchers invite the children to experiment. The bench can be used as a counter for constructive play, a footrest for climbing or as a place to just sit.

Balance Beams train you in keeping your balance while planning your next movement to cross the beam as soon as possible- without falling off. Children have to learn to coordinate their movements and when they manage to cross the first beam well, they can try to start jumping from one beam to the other or balance with a foot on each beam. In this case, the coordination skills are trained more thoroughly because you have to plan your movement even better to be able to jump from one beam to the other without falling off. Children can also sit on one beam and put their feet under the other beam to train their abdominal muscles.
Category: Agility
For Age: 6-12 Years
Children have to jump over the unequal hurdles as fast as they can. Children have to adjust their movements from jumping higher to jumping lower so this asks for careful planning and coordination, otherwise children will fall. Bodies have to be adapted to the changing situation of higher and lower hurdles. The hurdles can also be used for somersaulting, which trains posture and the sense of balance. Children learn to have endurance while trying to increase the amount of somersaults they can do, e.g. as part of a competition game between children.

The Spinner Bowl makes the world go round and round! Hop in, pump your legs and sit and spin. Using centrifugal force and the weight distribution of the child, speeds can be controlled and stopping is a breeze. The Spinner Bowl secures the child in its generous depth and makes training balance a wild ride. When the bowl is filled with loose material and spun in either direction, the force of rotation pushes the material from the centre and out through a drain hole. A useful tool in understanding centrifugal force and gravity, the Spinner Bowl is not only a thrill ride but a great science tool as well.
