We have a few of these amazing climbing pieces of equipment. They are great for climbing, fort building and balancing. Through physical development play with the Pikler system, children gain muscular and cardiovascular strength, build self esteem, improve gross motor skills and explore their imagination simultaneously.

Each piece can be borrowed on its own, or two or more pieces can be borrowed at a time to add to the experience. We have several of the triangles available.
