Frequently asked questions

What makes Stapelstein® different from alternatives? Plus

Stapelstein® was developed as a Original – with a focus on durability, safety, and educational versatility.

Differences include, among other things:

  • Load capacity up to 180 kg
  • robust, dimensionally stable material
  • well-thought-out geometry for balance & seat height
  • 100% recyclable material
  • manufactured in Germany
  • long-term expandability as a system

Cheaper alternatives often have a lower load capacity, are less stable, or are not designed as a holistic movement system.

How durable is Stapelstein® in everyday daycare or school use? Plus

Stapelstein® is designed for intensive use in institutions.

  • Load capacity up to 180 kg
  • Impact-resistant and dimensionally stable
  • No splintering or sharp edges
  • Suitable for daily moving, stacking, and balancing

Many institutions use the elements for years in everyday group and movement activities.

How long does Stapelstein® last under intensive use? Plus

The service life depends on use, but it is designed for long-term use.

The material is:

  • robust against compressive loads
  • insensitive to moisture
  • dimensionally stable even with regular stacking

Compared to classic movement materials made of foam or soft plastics, Stapelstein® shows very high resistance.

Is the material safe for children (including if they put it in their mouths)? Plus

Yes. Stapelstein® is:

  • free from harmful substances
  • saliva- and skin-compatible
  • suitable for use in early childhood

The smooth, closed surface prevents liquids from penetrating and makes cleaning easier.

Is Stapelstein® certified? Plus

Stapelstein® meets the applicable safety requirements for toys in accordance with EU directives.

The products are regularly tested and comply with the relevant standards for use in children's settings.

Can Stapelstein® be used outdoors or in water? Plus

Yes. Stapelstein® is:

  • suitable for indoor and outdoor use
  • waterproof
  • ideal for sand, mud, and water play situations

The elements are light, buoyant, and retain their shape even when wet.

Which activities or learning goals does Stapelstein® support? Plus

Stapelstein® is mainly used in institutions for:

  • balancing & obstacle courses
  • free play
  • dynamic sitting
  • active learning (numbers, colors, syllables, group tasks)
  • active breaks
  • team and cooperation games

This integrates movement into everyday life and lessons.

How many elements do I need for my institution? Plus

That depends on group size and type of use.

Here are some guidelines:

Small group (5 children)

→ 4–6 elements make balance paths or a seating circle possible.

Medium group (10 children)

→ 8–12 elements allow several stations or a larger movement course.

Larger group (20 children)

→ 15–25 elements make parallel play stations or larger learning settings possible.

The following applies to dynamic sitting in the classroom:

The more children are meant to sit actively at the same time, the closer the number should be to the group size.

If you are unsure, we are happy to help with planning.

Who are the Stapelstein® Education products for? Who is allowed to create a Education account? Plus

What does Unique mean?

Due to production, the elements may have small peculiarities such as differently colored dots or minor unevenness that do not affect shape, function, or stability.

Unique, because each element is unique.

We think it is important to raise children's awareness of uniqueness and diversity. The Unique collection enriches free play with this special added value.
