There is a sensitive period for movement and gross motor development in children between the ages of 0 and 5.
This is a time when children are deeply and innately motivated to move their body and develop coordination.
During this period, it's recommended to provide your child with as many opportunities to move, climb, and explore the limits of their bodies.
The Montessori Triangle Climber and Multifold both satisfy 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 Multifold
Between the ages of 2.5-4, a child:
Refines coordination of movements
Explores different ways of using the Multifold, including more imaginative play
Develops problem solving skills
Develops the connection between the brain and the body
Solid Maple Dowels
It's recommended to avoid climbers that use anything other than solid maple dowels. Dowels made from a weaker wood can break over time from repeated jumping and climbing. All our climbers are made using solid hard maple dowels.
Easy To Store
Collapse flat in minutes by simply unscrewing the knobs. Folds flat for storage in a closet.
Six Different Configurations
This is a climber that truly grows with your child and can be setup in 6 different configurations - 3 lower setups for new climbers and 3 more advanced setups for older children.
No Tools Needed
The multifold comes fully assembled and can be reconfigured without any tools. If you're not very handy, the Multifold is a great choice! To reconfigure, simple unscrew the knobs, move into the new position, and reinsert the knobs. You can watch a video of that here: https://vimeo.com/560246698
Made in Canada
Made by Canadian woodworkers with Canadian safety standards in place and proper liability insurance, should anything happen.

The Multifold can be configured into six recommended shapes.
This not only keeps it exciting for years but means that you can use it longer.
For small children, start with the M shape, single small peak in the center, or the "upside down checkmark" are perfect for young climbers. In these shapes, it can be used as a pull up bar or easy climber for little ones that are still developing their balance and coordination.
It allows you to fully step back and allow your child the freedom to explore.
Older children will enjoy the house shape, monkey bar shape, or the regular Pikler shape. Adding in the ramp will also provide an added challenge.
Children over 2.5 years old will also find ways to use it in imaginative play. Throw a blanket over it and you've got a tent! Turn it on its side to make a puppet theatre or boat.
When set up like a Pikler (inverted V),dimensions are as follow:
Max height of 38.5" high
Max depth of 44" at the base
Max Width Across Rungs is 27.75" (from knob end to knob end)
Width of rungs only is 22"
Rungs are 1 1/4" in diameter
Each Multifold comes with 4 seperate segments, measuring:
Length - 23.75"
Width - 23.75"
Depth - 0.75"
Oval 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.
One of the biggest advantages to the Multifold is that your child can use it for years.
It can be used in the lower configurations for younger children (M shape, upside down checkmark) and higher configurations for children 2-3+.
The rainbow Multifold is finished with a non-toxic water based paint.
The natural has no finish.
Yes! You just can't leave it outside in the rain or snow (it can't get wet).
Luckily with the easy collapse, you can bring it inside or outside in minutes.
We recommend putting it in the grass or on rubber foam tiles.
