Arch Climber
Why are climbers so great for young children?
Great question!
The 'Sensitive Period for Movement' is from ages 0-4.
Montessori defines a sensitive period as a time when a child is deeply interested in a specific subject. This makes it easy for the child to acquire certain skills related to this interest.
Through interest and repetition of certain actions, a new skill emerges.
In the 'Sensitive Period for Movement', it's best to give your child as many movement activities as possible.
Our Arch Climber 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 climb forwards and backwards
-
How to coordinate movement between the arms and legs
-
How to balance while climbing
Between the ages of 2.5-4, a child:
-
Refines coordination of movements
-
Explores different ways of using the Arch, including more imaginative play
-
Develops problem solving skills
-
Develops the connection between the brain and the body

Great For All Ages
The Arch Climber is a small but mighty addition to our site. I think some people overlook it because it's smaller than the triangle but it's just as challenging, if not more so.
The tricky part of the Climbing Triangle is the top, getting over to the other side. There's a lot of coordination and concentration to figure out where all the body parts go.
The Arch Climber has a wider area to climb over and it's closer to the ground, so you have to start navigating the arch right away.
Plus, it makes a good foot rest in the living room 😀
Made Right Here in Canada
No need to worry about structural stability or harmful chemicals used in our climbers.
All of them are made right here in Canada, with Canadian safety standards in place.
The price is sometimes a little higher but well worth the peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dimensions of the arch climber: ~ 32”W x 30”L x 24”H
Dimensions of the ramp: ~ 15"W x 42"L
Please note there is 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.
Note that the ramp is double-sided with triangle grips on one side and smooth on the other, like a slide.
Our climbers satisfy the urge to climb but in a safe and controlled way.
While playgrounds are designed for children ages 5+ and often crowded and your furniture isn't meant for gymnastics, these climbers just the right size and challenge for toddlers.
Please note that while it's used to encourage independent movement, they will still need constant supervision.
The Arch Climber is great for ages 1+. It works well as a pull up bar for even young children and is great for imaginative play with older children.
There is no finish on natural arch and the rainbow is finished with water-based, acrylic paint.
Yes! You just can't leave it outside in the rain or snow (it can't get wet).
We recommend putting it in the grass or on rubber foam tiles.
It's shipped disassembled but can easily be assembly in 10 minutes with just a phillips head screwdriver. We've never had a customer that couldn't assemble the arch climber!
