Safety Plus

Children’s safety is our #1 priority.

That’s why all of our products are:

  • Safe to put in a child’s mouth
  • 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 dynamic stool, 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.

A year later, the kids still love this product!

A full year later, the baby still love this toy. It has brought them countless hours of Joy. We had a few pieces that didn’t hold up as well as the others due to extreme weather. The company happily replaced the worn pieces. Excellent customer service! I recommend this company highly

Instant favourite!

Gave these to my 25 month old for Christmas and ten minutes after unwrapping and playing he turned to us with a grin to say “LIKE IT!!” He was beginning to explore climbing etc so perfect timing. So far he has walked across them to test his balance, stacked them to see how high he can climb up then jump from them, played bean bag toss (sorting into colours) and collected water to pour from one to the other. He even requested them in the bath.
Great quality product that encourages open play and great opportunity for him to use his body and learn coordination. Can’t recommend more!

Beautiful and HUGE!

This is so absolutely beautiful. My son plays with his regular sized stones and has loved them a lot. I find them to be beautiful to look at and aesthetically I find their soft curves appealing. These grow stones are just that exemplified. They are extra fun as well and a game changer for dad who has started to join in the fun. Thank you so much for such a beautiful toy.

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.
