The Developmental Benefits of a Multifold Climber
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
Why The Multifold Is One Of Our Best Sellers
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.

Grows With Your Child
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.
