Hello teachers,

I have a problem understanding the description at
http://www.kompan.com/playground-equipment/toddlers/Home-and-Garden-MSV601

Could you explain what does "play sphere" as in "string with play sphere" and "run in grooves" mean?

Thank you very much in advance!

Fumi

I'm sorry I went to the link but couldn't find where it had those words.

A part of the description was not there.
The sentence was:
For the 1-2-yearolds the biggest attraction is the world of tactile play details and openings of the play unit: a great push-through rubber flap door, nice rubber flaps that cover holes to the other side, and play spheres that run in grooves.

I am SO SORRY that I cause you and others trouble.

It's no trouble. It's just hard to figure out what they meant. A sphere is like a ball. If the spheres run in grooves, it would mean there is some kind of long indentation that the spheres go along. I'm sorry I have no idea without seeing the playground how big the spheres are and what they are supposed to do!
