Join in! Start climbing :)

Easter holidays – bad weather – boredom!

How about an exercise course using our climbing sets ? There are countless variations, and your imagination or that of your children is the only limit. The great thing about it is that no matter how big or small your apartment is, with one set you have everything at home.

Still looking for the perfect idea? Then you've come to the right place! We'll delve into our world of climbing towers, you'll learn exciting things about obstacle courses and the importance of movement games for your child. And of course, there's another surprise waiting for you and your adventurer in our creative workshop!

The child's interest depends solely on the opportunity to make his or her own discoveries.

Parkour focuses on the joy of movement and continuous self-improvement . Your child's natural urge to move and explore becomes the primary tool for this. Through play, your child will learn more about their own body.

Parkour is a full-body workout that primarily promotes strength, endurance, mobility, coordination and concentration .

Introducing our climbing sets…

If you're looking for a play structure that will provide your children with hours of fun and exercise at home, then one of the climbing sets from Kletterling is the perfect choice. Our sets combine various play structures, each of which, thanks to their unique design, encourages exploration and exploration!

These climbing frames are not only a great toy, but also an excellent tool for promoting your children's physical development and coordination. A climbing tower offers children the opportunity to improve their motor skills and balance, express their creativity, and develop their social skills. While playing, children can also overcome their fears and limitations and gain a sense of independence and self-reliance.

Cognitive area

Whether on a climbing wall, a tree, or a jungle gym, the goal is always to get as high as possible (and then back down safely). But that doesn't always work right away. This way, your child will develop a certain tolerance for frustration and learn that patience and perseverance pay off! Rung by rung – the goal is always to get as high as possible (and then back down safely).

Motor area

While climbing, your child will learn new movement patterns while playing and having fun, helping them improve their motor skills. Climbing promotes gross motor skills – maintaining balance, stepping, and pushing off. At the same time, fine motor skills are also developed, as the climbing holds require precise grip. Climbing is a true full-body workout that's incredibly fun and can also be used to prevent obesity.

Perception area

Climbing strengthens your child's self-awareness and self-confidence. They learn to overcome obstacles and discover that they can overcome hurdles through their own efforts. If the climbing attempt is successful, this sense of achievement strengthens their self-confidence. Your child can also learn valuable lessons from failed attempts.

Perception Tip:

It's a good idea to let your child play barefoot as much as possible. The soft, rounded wood provides new stimulation for hands and feet and strengthens inner balance. This also teaches your baby to grasp the rungs with their feet ("claws" – provides stability and improves balance).

FROM PULLING UP TO STANDING AND CLIMBING

Cognitive area
# Promoting problem-solving skills
# Promoting concentration
# Development of action competencies

FROM GRIPPING TO COMPREHENSIVENESS

Motor area
# Permanent increase in muscle tone
# Promote hand-eye coordination
# Promoting movement creativity
# Raising awareness of movements
# Learning controlled and calm movements

FROM FEELING TO EXPERIENCE

Perception area
# Promote tactile perception by feeling different handle shapes and surfaces
# Promotion of spatial position perception (vestibular perception)
# Promoting kinesthetic perception (sense of movement)
# Promoting self-awareness/developing body image

MY EDUCATIONAL TIP!

Children learn best from and with each other! Give them the opportunity to be active with siblings and/or friends. This way, your child will strengthen their social-emotional skills through play!

Why movement games?

Exercise is healthy

Exercise improves body awareness, stimulates cardiovascular health, improves stamina, prevents obesity, and is fun. Children are born action heroes – exercise helps them develop their motor skills and grow healthily.

Better to walk than stand: movement games make you mobile

Children seek opportunities to balance, which promotes their motor development, self-belaying skills, and self-confidence. Movement construction sites created with the climbing elements promote risk-taking skills as well as cognitive, social, and motor skills.

After so much exercise and adventure, you must be hungry?

My favorite Easter recipe for little and big climbing champions: easy carrot muffins

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place paper baking cups in the well of a muffin tin.
Wash, peel, and finely grate the carrots. Drizzle with lemon juice and mix in the lemon zest. Mix the flour with the carrots, baking powder, ginger, and nuts.
Lightly beat the egg in another bowl. Add the sugar, oil, and sour cream and mix well. Add the flour mixture and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Fill the batter into the paper baking cups and bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes. Let the muffins cool, then decorate with powdered sugar icing and marzipan carrots.

Enjoy your meal! And happy Easter. :)
