The Montessori Room Pikler Triangle Small With Ramp

A Montessori climbing triangle is the best toy for gross motor development in infants and toddlers. It develops confidence, coordination, and balance. Children can safely explore the natural urge to climb, even in the winter months! The triangle can be used for years, as a climber and eventually in imaginative play for older children (5-6 years and up).


All three sizes are Made in Canada and can be purchased with or without the double-sided wood ramp (one side is smooth and the other has oval climbing grips).

Why the Montessori Climbing Triangle is so Great for Infants and Toddlers

The sensitive period for movement is from ages 0-5. Montessori defines a sensitive period as a time when a child is deeply interested in a specific subject. This makes it easier for children to develop skills related to this interest. In the sensitive period for movement, it's best to give your child as many movement activities as possible. 

The Pikler satisfies this need for movement and learning in so many ways. Between the ages 0-2.5, a child learns:
How to grasp the rungs
How to balance while climbing
How to coordinate movement between the arms and legs
How to lift their leg over top and coordinate body parts
How to climb backwards down the Pikler

Between the ages of 2.5 and 5, a child:
Refines coordination of movements 
Explores different ways of using the Pikler, including more imaginative play
Develops problem-solving skills
Develops the connection between the brain and the body

The Montessori Room's Triangle Climber is the Best on the Market

Extremely Sturdy

The Montessori Room climber can hold up to 200 lbs. The rungs are made from solid hard maple and are very strong. They've seen other climbers that have broken with rough play or rungs that have snapped when multiple children are playing on it. The Montessori Room climber has withstood the weight of multiple grown men jumping on it.

Easy to Store

Collapse in 58 seconds. Just unscrew the knobs and fold in half for storage.

Secure

Some triangle climbers have no way to keep the triangle in the open position; they simply open and close without a knob to secure it in place. This is dangerous, as the triangle is much more likely to collapse with rough play. Fingers can also get pinched in the top. It's best to have a knob or bolt to keep the triangle open when in use.

Engineered for Safety

Some triangles allow you to open them at multiple angles, opening wider to make them lower to the ground. This is unsafe as it puts too much pressure on the center joint. The Montessori Room triangle is designed to open at the ideal angle for safety and sturdiness.
