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.

Party Fun

I purchased these for my granddaughter's first birthday party. They were a big hit. All the kids found their own way to have fun with them.

Love these right away!

We had no idea what to get our second daughter for her first birthday--we seemingly had all of the toys already! We are so glad that we came across these! Open ended play, our 1 and 3 year old have already found SO many fun ways to use these--ways we adults never would have thought of! They are sturdy, durable, and so much fun--the uses are truly endless! Thank you!

Truly one of the greatest!

Purchased for one set of my grandchildren and could not believe the number of ways that they used their Stapelsteins. So many things to do: color sorting, making a path, tossing things into them, as a step stool! I think my favorite is watching them stack them to do the dishes! I just bought a second set for the other grandchildren. Highly recommend!

So many ways to play!

I gave these to my granddaughter for her 2nd birthday. I was amazed at how many times in a day she returned to play with them. I will be adding more pieces!

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.
