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.

Instant imagination fire

These have absolutely brought the widest range of open ended play and methods out of my children. I found another option that was similar, and much better expense, but I chose to buy staplestein because of their ownership of the invention/innovation. The price is painful, but the favoritism for and delight in these is undeniable.

Quality and Delivery Issues

My first purchase with Stapelstein had some issues where there were missing items and the quality of the stepping stones wasn’t as expected. Decided to do another purchase and same issue with the quality. For a company that charges so much for some styrofoam toys, I feel like the service could be a lot better.

And they also gave out broken links for the review so I couldn’t even leave a review. Who knows whether this is going to be posted since they probably pick only 5 star reviews to be published.

Thank you for your feedback, Emily! We apologize for any inconvenience you have had with your order. We replaced the missing pieces right away and sent you a return label. Since you never returned your orders, we hope that you ended up liking our products after all. If we can do anything else for you feel free to reach out to us via chat or email! We appreciate your time writing this review!
Have a playful day,
Team Stapelstein

My child immediately started playing with the elements as soon as they saw them and have been balancing on them every day since. There are so many uses for these items plus they are attractive and do not take up a lot of space, very happy.

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.
