Plum Climbing Cube Wooden Play Centre with Climbing Wall, Den & Slide

Product Information

We used posts from the four million members of BabyCenter's Community to find a consensus on whichPikler triangle sets are sturdy, fun to play with, and offer great play value from as many different types of caregivers as possible. The Pikler triangle was named for Dr. Emmi Pikler, a Hungarian pediatrician who specialized in early education and advocated for comforting play environments that allow children to develop naturally, at their own pace, with a major emphasis on free movement. The triangle was then popularized in the U.S. by Magda Gerber, another iconic early childhood educator known for a respectful parenting philosophy. What are the benefits of a Pikler triangle? We will be able to advise on the best combination of products to suit the age group, size and ability of those who will be using it and will make sure that is offers enough of a challenge but is not so difficult to do that it stops children having a go.

Crafted with high-quality materials, these Pikler sets are perfect for toddlers and young children who love to climb, crawl, and explore. The sturdy wooden frames and non-slip steps provide a safe and stable platform for little ones to build confidence, improve balance and coordination, and strengthen their motor skills.

Dr. Pikler's work was rooted in the understanding that children who are allowed to move freely and without restriction are more careful and better able to maneuver themselves (and even fall) safely. On the other hand, children whose movements are restricted are put in more real-world danger because they have not mastered (or even experienced) their own capacities and limits. It’s made from fully pressure-treated timber, which is low maintenance and hardwearing and it’s guaranteed for 10 years against rot and infestation. There’s no need to dismantle it every year for timber treating either, as with some wooden climbing frames. Safety ground anchors are included as are all the fixings you’ll need. The majority of Plum climbing frames are suitable for children starting from 3 years old and up, meaning that toddlers at least 36 months old should be able to play on the equipment safely. Additionally, there are specially designed Plum play centres for toddlers that make an ideal first climbing frame for children aged between 12–18 months. This is no ordinary “triangle.” Extra pieces and joints allow you to rework the fixture to one of 10 different mode options: a cube, lower climbing structure for younger children, or taller climbing triangle for bigger kids, to name a few.We also really like how colourful it is – guaranteed to get the kids' attention. It is plastic, but the plastic is top-quality, with a nice weight to it. Inspiring active and imaginative outdoor play since 1988, Plum is one of the most popular brands when it comes to high-quality outdoor play equipment. Blending exercise and creative stimulation, Plum climbing frames are perfect for helping young children to stay healthy. The possibilities are endless for exploring adventurous play.

It is basically a combination of four different traversing agility trail items carefully linked together to form a square which means that it is particularly suitable for areas where space is limited and will also require less safety surfacing as the products are not strung out in a line. The standard configuration is as follows: Cross Wires, Hanging Rope Traverse, Hanging Log Steps Traverse and a Traversing Net. Parents can buy the Sprout triangle with one or two ramps; each holds 150 pounds. Ramps, like the triangle, are made from Baltic birch plywood (the rungs of the triangle are made from maple). They can hook onto any rung of the triangle to give kids more or less of a climbing challenge, and they're double sided: a smooth side and one with evenly-spaced wooden slats to give kids more play options.An alternative configuration is as follows: Parallel Wires, Cross Wires, Rolling Log and Floating Steps. Introducing the Active-Tots Pikler Range from TP Toys, designed to support your little one's physical development and encourage active play. Featuring smooth edges, screw-free installation, and a strong, sturdy base, parents who own this climbing triangle say it's both secure and safe. They also deeply appreciate the triangle's versatility, though quite a few complain that changing modes can be difficult and that the provided Allen wrench is of poor quality, so you might want to have your own on hand. Despite that pain point, parents say their kids played with it longer and more intensely thanks to that versatility. As long as you look after your Plum play centre, it should last for a very long time. The wood has already been pressure-treated to prevent rot and infestations, but you should still clean your Plum climbing frame any time you notice it getting a bit dirty. Although it's not difficult to assemble once you get the hang of it, the instructions are in German only, which can be a bit confusing at first as parts aren't labelled. What is the best climbing frame?
