Sustainable play supports a sustainable future for the next generation . No trees are cut down in the process of extracting cork . Cork is obtained from the outer layer of the cork oak . A cork oak , whose bark is regularly harvested ( every 9 years , a lifetime of the oak tree is 200-300 years ) binds more than three times as much oxygen as an unused cork oak . Cork material is soft and soothing for children , providing them with a unique sensory experience . Sensory play is important to brain development because it can strengthen sensory-related synapses and functions . Cork ’ s unique texture also allows children to build at an angle and create leaning structures , supporting more imaginative play and deeper spatial awareness .
