Climbing frames

Climbing triangles are climbing frames for children, based on the philosophy of the Viennese educationalist Emmi Pikler. The climbing frame is triangular in shape and features bars or rungs on both sides, designed to fit your child’s little hands. The triangle climbing frame provides the ideal support for your child to pull themselves up and learn to stand. Later on, it serves as a learning aid for climbing and maintaining balance. From the brand Ette Tete, Hello Archie sells various types of climbing frames inspired by Pikler: the Mopitri, the Fipitri and the Sipitri. With the extra accessories from Ette Tete, the Montessori climbing frame transforms in an instant into a playhouse or tent, a drawing board or a bookshelf. For even more fun for toddlers, you can add the ramp, which can also be used as a slide or even as a walkway between two climbing frames. With this wooden climbing frame, your little one can discover their own creativity and agility at their own pace and in complete freedom. The climbing triangle can be used from as early as six months. Your baby can crawl underneath it, or you can place your little one underneath and attach all sorts of activity toys to it. Even the very youngest children can use the triangle climbing frame to learn to stand on their own two feet and take their first steps. A climbing triangle is the best gift for a first birthday!

Emmi Pikler was a 20th-century paediatrician and educationalist from Vienna. She believed it was important for children to be able to play at their own pace and in complete freedom. She emphasised the importance of free movement and the natural development of young children. Children must be able to experiment for themselves and test their creative limits through open-ended play. The young child’s space to move is crucial for this. Her wooden indoor climbing frames are essential in this regard. With a triangular climbing frame on a sturdy surface, your little one can improve their body awareness. It is important that children increase their mobility through low climbing structures and on their own initiative, learning to stand, climb and play as they wish. Ette Tete’s Pikler-inspired climbing frame has a natural birch plywood finish. The simplicity of the design minimises unnecessary stimuli and stimulation. This allows your child to fully project their own creativity onto the climbing frame. Each segment of the Mopitri or Fipitri climbing triangle is 37.3 cm high and the width of the climbing frame is 80 cm. The tallest triangle that Ette Tete’s climbing frames can form is 60 cm high. These climbing frames are definitely a must-have for your child’s bedroom!
