Montessori climbing toys does not only look nice and keeps your kids entertained — but it also contributes to their physical and intellectual development.
What is climbing furniture?
To answer the question “What is Pikler furniture?” we should talk about Emmi Pikler a bit. This prominent lady was born in Hungary and became a pediatrician. She worked in an orphanage and developed her unique approach to children’s education there.
Emmi believed that kids constantly want to learn, move and explore the surrounding world. Their parents need to create an appropriate environment for them — that is, buy climbing furniture and educational toys. Plus, grown-ups should never limit the freedom of movement of the little ones. Kids need to learn to fall down, get up and make a second attempt. This will teach them to be not afraid of making mistakes in the future.
The primary mission of such furniture consists of helping boys and girls to hone gross motor skills. They are called “gross” because they are connected with the movements that we make with our torso, limb and head. The term “fine motor skills”, by contrast, denotes the movements that we make with our fingers. Children should develop both sets of skills before they go to school.
Another question that you might want to ask is: “What age is a Pikler triangle for?”. Its target audience is preschool children of all ages. Babies can watch and touch toys that you hang on its bars. This will teach them to differentiate shapes and colors. Toddlers will learn to sit and stand up straight holding on to the bars. Finally, the kids will start to climb the triangle.
How to decorate kids room with Pikler triangle?
Mums and dads who are thinking of how to decorate kids room can choose from climbing furniture of diverse shapes, sizes and colors.
If the interior of the room is beige or pastel, you might prefer a monochrome triangle — that is, unpainted. However, a multicolored item can turn into an opportune bright accent for this type of decor. For bright rooms, a multicolored triangle would be a natural solution.
If the space is limited, opt for a small triangle. If the room is spacious, purchase a larger one and complement it with other types of climbing furniture.
Since the furniture is made of natural wood, it looks very elegant. It is lightweight and you can easily relocate it to another room. Also, you can take it outside in your garden. If you want to take Pikler items to your country house or elsewhere, a triangle will be an optimal solution. You can fold it so that it occupies minimum space in your luggage or the trunk of your car.
