Children’s safety is our #1 priority.

That’s why all of our products are:

  • Free from sharp corners or edges

Non-slip

Play safely
Use a level, non-slip surface when balancing or building obstacle courses with Stapelstein®.

We recommend stacking a maximum of 3 elements for climbing.

All Stapelstein® products are waterproof but don’t serve as a floatation device. Young children must be supervised when playing in the water.

Pointed objects like scissors, stones, knives, nails, wire, or teeth can leave permanent marks on the elements. Severe damage may affect stability.

How to play Plus

The good news: there is no right or wrong when it comes to using Stapelstein® elements. Watch and experience first-hand how children let their imagination run wild.

Adults like to use Stapelstein® elements as a step bench, yoga block and much more.

Discover many more ways to play with the Stapelstein® elements.

The only limit is your own imagination

Gone are the days of single-use toys that kids quickly grow out of (and end up in the trash). Bring more moments of playful movement, creativity, and joy to your home.

Love it

I had another brand and still wanted to try Stapelstein, the difference in quality is noticable and I think worth the price. I’ll be ordering another set soon!

Incredible Fun for the Whole Family!

The Water Lily Play Set was our first Stapelstein set and we loved it so much we got two more! Absolutely gorgeous craftsmanship, insanely durable, and shockingly lightweight! Within 5 minutes of opening it, my husband turned it into a drum set. Fun for the whole family! We can’t wait to play with this heirloom quality toy for decades and generations to come.

Love product but a little disappointed

This is my third order for a gift. We love the product and have continued to buy it over and over again despite the price. This time however the box came opened and tape had been ripped off. If I didn’t need it the next day I would have returned it. For the price things should be perfect.

Amazing toy for endless play possibilities!

I am a big fan of toys that lend themselves to open-ended play. It allows my daughter to be creative & there's no wrong way to play with Stapelstein (as long as they're being safe of course :) )! My daughter got an original Stapelstein set + board for Christmas & has been loving playing with them pretty much every day. So when the new Inside set came out, I knew it would be a great birthday present as an addition to her current set. And I was right, she loves them too! Highly recommend - so ligh, but extremely sturdy!

Great addition!

We already had the original Stapelstein stones in pastel and was so excited when the inside set was released and bought right away. Our 2.5yo and 9month kids love them and use daily - be it to step and climb on, use as drums, little boats in the bath, hats, spinning chairs, whatever they come up with. The quality is exceptional and they weigh next to nothing all while supporting the weight of climbing children. We will be interested in further product launches and are considering getting anything set of the original set. We are looking forward to taking them with us on camping trips and see what creative ways to play we can discover out in nature! Thank you Stapelstein!

FAQ

How Stapelstein® elements can be used? Plus

Free play and free movement development are the two main pillars of the pedagogically valuable Pikler philosophy, on which we strongly orient ourselves. Therefore, there are no set instructions. Even the youngest children are invited to try out movement and to have all kinds of experiences with their own bodies in free play. This includes, for example, climbing on the Stapelstein® Original, sitting in the bowl and spinning, holding up the Stapelstein® elements, knocking them over, building new play worlds, turning them over, filling them, carrying them around, and much more. 

Through their imagination, children keep discovering new features of the Stapelstein® Original and the Stapelstein® Board and grow through the challenges. We recommend ages one and older, since even the youngest discover free play and the accompanying free movement without specific instructions.
