all our slides the creative table fox den tent & sloth cushion
Easy care:
If annoying stains appear on the climbing toys, they can be easily sanded off with the included sandpaper. Gently rub the fine-grain paper over the affected spot or over the entire rung.
And don’t worry, there will still be plenty of climbing fun left!
Free of harmful substances and safe:
No varnishes or dyes are used in the climbing toy workshop. Your climbing toy is only sanded by hand. So your child does not lose the connection to nature, they can feel, see, and smell the soft wood.
Naturalness is the best protection against harmful substances and sharpens the awareness of the wonder of nature!
OUR RECOMMENDATION
The orangutan can be used from 18 months well into school age for motor and cognitive development! Our absolute quality feature is the soft wood and the rounded corners. Please do not oil our untreated climbing toys so that your child does not lose the connection to nature. By feeling, seeing, and smelling the wood, you simultaneously train their perception!
RUNG SIDE
From pulling up to standing and climbing
Perfectly suited for the beginning. Let your child discover the climbing frame independently and step by step climb our orangutan. Your child consciously feels the tension in their body through pulling up and playfully learns to follow climbing, which is the perfect precursor to walking up stairs. Day by day, they dare to climb higher and gain a sense of security. Concentration is required when stepping over the upper rungs. Your child develops endurance and patience early on.
CLIMBING WALL SIDE
From grasping to understanding
With the different climbing sides, our orangutan offers an ideal full-body sport: Your child trains muscle groups all over the body, improves coordination, agility, and posture, promotes concentration, and strengthens the courage to try things out. You can joyfully watch your little one’s self-confidence grow and be amazed at how their own strengths and limits develop from childlike curiosity.
NET SIDE
From feeling to experiencing
Compared to wood, its soft material offers your child new impulses for hands and feet and especially strengthens inner balance. Your child learns to concentrate even better and simultaneously trains their mental strengths.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO US
Our climbing toys only fulfill their purpose when your child is allowed to be an explorer on their own. Your baby learns to climb up from the safe ground by themselves and thus gains their own sense of security. Your child learns to use the new toy and to know their own limits. You will be amazed at how brave and self-assured your child can be. Show your baby the new device and be curious and above all patient about what and when things happen. Every child has their own pace. Never leave your child unattended.
Be there to help and celebrate their successes! That makes them brave and confident!
BUYING A TRIANGLE, PLAY TOWER, OR CLIMBING FRAME?
What exactly is the difference between a climbing triangle, play tower, or climbing frame?
In principle, these are just different terms for the same thing. If you are looking for a play device that offers your children hours of fun and movement indoors, then a climbing triangle from Kletterling is the perfect choice. These play devices are not only great toys but also excellent tools to promote your children’s physical development and coordination.
A play tower usually consists of various elements such as ladders, slides, climbing walls, and swings, combined into an appealing and challenging play paradise. Our climbing triangles are made of high-quality wood and can be placed anywhere. However, they should only be used outdoors in good weather.
A climbing triangle gives children the chance to improve their motor skills and balance, express their creativity, and develop their social skills. While playing, children can also overcome fears and limits and gain a sense of independence and self-reliance.
If you want to buy a climbing triangle or play tower, there are some things to consider. First, make sure the play tower meets the safety standards EN 71 and is made of high-quality materials. Also, consider the size and space requirements of the tower to ensure it fits in your home. A suitable base is also very important to prevent the play tower from slipping. We recommend our cork mats for this purpose.
A play tower is a great investment for any family who wants to offer their children a safe and entertaining way to play and learn indoors, no matter the weather. If you are looking for a high-quality play tower, we have a wide selection ready for you.

Kategoriebeschreibung
What is a Pikler triangle?
A Pikler triangle is a wooden climbing frame for children. It consists of a triangular frame with rungs that serve as climbing aids. There are different types of Pikler triangles, including single-hinged and fixed-screw models in various heights from 60 to 87 cm. There are also multi-jointed models, but these are not DIN EN-71 compliant and therefore not safe enough for young children. The Pikler triangle can be used both indoors and outdoors and, thanks to the rungs, also offers the option of attaching slide boards that can be adapted to the child's individual development.
Why do children need a Pikler triangle?
A Pikler triangle supports the independent development of gross motor skills in babies and toddlers. By climbing on the device, they can learn about and accept their limits. Compared with other climbing frames on playgrounds, the Pikler triangle allows parents to watch their child's exploration relaxedly. Because of its height-adjusted size, the device also spares parents from having to sit right next to the child to catch potential falls. Each child explores the triangle at their own pace and at their current stage of development. In the crawling stage, for example, they might crawl under the triangle, while in the next phase they try to pull themselves up on it. The Pikler triangle does not need to be adapted to the current developmental stage, because it grows with the child and with their motor skills.
The right age for a Pikler triangle
As soon as your child is crawling and can independently overcome a threshold of about 10 cm, a Pikler triangle is a good choice to support further development. The device can then be used up to the age of six to eight years, with older children often integrating the climbing frame into their play and using it imaginatively. However, we have also heard from customers that even older children still play with it.
How long do children play on the Pikler triangle?
Children's imagination is limitless, so older children can also continue to use the Pikler triangle for free play. But if the device is not combined with other play equipment and the child spends much time on it without guidance, they will climb over the top rung at the latest by the age of two. If the device is combined with other equipment, it can be used as a motor challenge until at least four years of age. That, however, only considers physical abilities — meaning that physically it will no longer be a challenge from around age 4, and it then becomes part of daily play and continues to be actively used for several more years to expend energy.
How to find the right Pikler triangle for your child
When it comes to finding a suitable Pikler triangle for your child, there are several important factors to consider. It is especially important that the climbing triangle meets your child's needs in terms of size, functionality, and safety.
The right size: From small to large
The size of the Pikler triangle is an important factor when choosing the right model. For smaller under-3 groups and private users who prefer a lower height, the lowest and narrowest model with a height of up to 60 cm is perfect. This is the Zicklein, which is also available as a set (Zickenling-Set).
For home use, a medium-sized climbing triangle with a height of 70 cm is optimal. That is our Koala and it is even foldable within 10 seconds. The corresponding set with slide and arch is the Koalaling.
Some providers, however, offer climbing triangles over 90 cm in the hope that parents will think it needs to be particularly tall. In fact, height is irrelevant for child development. Children care more about moving than climbing particularly high.
Another danger of oversized climbing triangles is the risk of injury. Especially small children, who are not yet very skilled in their motor abilities, can injure themselves when sliding from top to bottom on an attached slide.
If you still want to give your child extra fun, you should avoid extreme heights and instead invest in additional equipment like a slide, a rope ladder and a wall bars instead.
Make the most of Pikler triangle combination options
Combining different devices with the Pikler triangle repeatedly opens up new possibilities for children and challenges them. With a rope ladder, a climbing slide and a slide board, the climbing triangle can be transformed into a base for attachments.
Our largest Pikler triangles, Orang-Utan and Panda, have a height of 87 cm, so 5-6 year olds can also use the space under the triangle as a den. In combination with a blanket or our fox den, endless possibilities for creative play arise.
Fixed, foldable, or angle-adjustable?
The choice of a fixed, foldable, or angle-adjustable climbing triangle depends on your needs and the size of your space. For home use, foldable models like the Zicklein, the Koala and the Panda are best suited, as they can be easily stored when space is limited. In addition, the Zicklein and the Panda are height-adjustable and can be disassembled into two halves in less than 30 seconds.
Our Orang-Utan, which is unique in its shape with three different sides, cannot be folded, but it does offer the possibility for the child to gain new experiences again and again by rotating it. It is also as sturdy as no other Pikler triangle because all sides are fastened together.
Pikler triangle: Which material is best?
Material also plays an important role when buying a Pikler triangle. It should be robust, durable, and of course safe for children.
Wood is the most commonly used material and has several advantages over plastic. It is more natural, more environmentally friendly, and also looks nice. It is also robust and durable.
However, there are some disadvantages. The wood fibers can raise when exposed to moisture. That is why we always include a sanding pad, so the wood of a climber can be sanded smooth again and again. To prevent the wood from warping, we use plywood. The wood is pressed in many layers and cannot warp. Splinters cannot form either because we process the wood properly. That is why we pay attention to perfect quality.
Alternatives to wood are plastic. Plastic is usually cheaper than wood and can also be cleaned more easily. However, it is not as robust and durable as wood and can contain harmful chemicals. Moreover, it is plastic, and that is exactly what we do not want for our children, right?
Furthermore, birch plywood is not only significantly more robust than solid wood, it is also significantly lighter, making it the perfect material for a Pikler triangle.
Conclusion
The Pikler triangle is a great toy for children that promotes their motor skills and provides a lot of fun. When buying, you should consider a few things, such as the size of the climbing triangle, the material, and whether it should be foldable, fixed, or angle-adjustable.
Lower models (or height-adjustable ones like Zicklein or Panda) are suitable for younger children, while older children and advanced climbers prefer taller models so they can also build a den underneath. Wood is the most commonly used material, but plywood like our birch plywood should be chosen. Also always check which glue is used in the plywood so you can ensure the formaldehyde content is particularly low. We use only a lignin-based glue, which emits significantly fewer pollutants than other plywood variants commonly available on the market.
If you keep these things in mind and buy a high-quality Pikler triangle, you and your children will surely enjoy it for many years, before it can be sanded down and passed on like new within the family. Our climbers are made for generations. That is why we also offer a lifetime spare parts guarantee.
