...playfully working on motor skills and sensory skills
Moving, balancing, stacking, and exploring – with Stapelstein®, children can release their energy while simultaneously developing their development. These light, colorful elements are a favorite among therapists because they offer so many possibilities. Through play, you'll strengthen gross motor skills, coordination, and sensory integration.
Stacking stones are safe, stable, and open to use. They sit securely on the ground, and children quickly become comfortable with them. The best part is: you don't have to do much to get them started. Give them a few and let them explore for themselves. Today they'll build an obstacle course; tomorrow it'll be a boat, a stool, or a balance bridge.
Versatile applications for therapists
Stapelstein® is a versatile therapeutic toy. In practice, they can be used for:
-
Balance exercises – walk on stacked stones, balancing with or without assistance. This supports your sense of balance and proprioception.
-
Sensory integration – the different colours, shapes and movements provide rich sensory input.
-
Motor development – stimulate gross and fine motor skills by jumping, stacking, sorting or sliding.
-
Dynamic sitting – use them as a stool for wobbly or active sitting. This promotes core stability, focus, and body awareness.
Practical and sustainable
The stacking bricks are made in Germany from lightweight EPP foam. This makes them easy for children to carry – handy for transporting stuffed animals, blocks, or sensory materials. They are sturdy, waterproof, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Any play suggestions? Or would you rather come up with your own?
The free Stapelstein® Inspire App offers over 60 game ideas, with many variations for therapists. Yet, children often come up with the most fun games themselves. That's what makes Stapelstein® so powerful: it's an open-ended toy that supports children's imagination and initiative.
Movement, balance and development – that starts with Stapelstein.
