The Robinia Theatre & Music Cottage immensely attracts toddlers, preschoolers and adults for hours of varied, creative play. With its richness in detail, the play unit invites dramatic and explorative play as well as solid social interaction and cooperation. The xylophone and drum panels support creative play immensely and invite groups of players due to their positioning from the house. The clock, bell, flaps, shelf and mirror is dense with cause-and-effect learning and creative play. These stimulate logical thinking and spur dramatic play, which is great for language development. The desk of the house invites social play. The surrounds are used repeatedly for rough-and-tumble, climb over, through and round play. Apart from stimulating muscles this trains important motor skills such as the cross-body coordination, which is fundamental for later reading skills.
