Product Description:
Our beautiful wooden Montessori Climbing Triangle/Pikler Triangle is handmade in Canada. It can be easily folded for storage by removing the knobs.
Our Triangle is made from a combination of solid maple and baltic birch plywood. The natural wood is great for grip while little one's learn to climb, no need to worry about them slipping around. The natural material also provides an additional sensory experience for children.
We believe the Triangle is best left unfinished but if you decide to finish it as your little one gets older and is no longer at risk for easily slipping or putting their mouth on the Triangle, we recommend the Fusion Mineral Top Coat as a low VOC, eco-friendly option.
The ramp is two-sided, one side is flat and the other has raised climbing ovals on it.
The Montessori Climbing Triangle can be brought outside, in dry conditions.
Medium Dimensions: Width: ~ 25.5" x Height: 30" x Depth open: 38" Depth closed: 6"
Large Dimensions: Width: ~ 25.5" x Height: 42" x Depth open: 53" Depth closed: 6"
Ramp Dimensions: ~15.5"W x 31"L
Please note there are sometimes variations in the exact thickness of the wood used, so measurements are approximate. If you have any questions or concerns about the measurements and whether or not this will fit into a specific area, please call us before purchasing.
Please note that these are handmade and as such will have variations in colour, size, wood grain, and finish. This uniqueness is the wonderful part about these items.
Why Buy a Montessori Climbing Triangle?
One of the biggest advantages to the Triangle, compared to most other toys, is the number of years your child will enjoy playing with it.
It's great for even young children as a pull up bar but toddlers and young children as old as 6 years old will get the most from it.
It's a very open-ended toy with a variety of different uses (see below).
What Can We Do With The Montessori Climbing Triangle?
As a Canadian, you're also likely spending half of the year cooped up indoors. The Triangle provides an opportunity for young children to continue their gross motor development and gives them something safe to climb.

How is a Triangle a Montessori-Based Toy?
It was created by a doctor with very similar philosophies to Maria Montessori, Dr. Emmi Pikler. Dr. Pikler also believed in independent play, the importance of fostering a child's awareness of itself and its environment, and child-led development. Her experience with infants and young children led her to conclude that a child’s own movements and the development of these movements are a constant source of joy to them.
The Triangle allows children to explore their body, learn their own boundaries, and it responds to their climbing needs. It helps develop gross motor skills, physical strength and agility, confidence, and encourages free movement and free play.

What Can We Do With The Montessori Climbing Triangle?
The beautiful thing about it, is that it's a very open ended toy. There's the obvious uses like using it as a pull up bar, climbing it, sliding down the ramp, or connecting the ramp to other climbing toys (like the Waldorf Rocker) to practice balancing on the slide, but it can also be used for more imaginative play, like covering it with a blanket to build a fort or tent. We've had many pretend campouts with ours.
Is It Safe?
The wonderful thing about it, is that young children can improve their gross motor skills with a tool that's perfect for their size. Jungle gyms are often designed for older children (and crowded with them!) so it can be harder for them to get around on most playgrounds. It provides a much safer option for young children to climb and explore their movements. Please note that while it's used to encourage independent movement, you still need be close to them while on it. Pikler Triangle Canada
