Play, Movement & Joy of Life for the Whole Family
The first birthday is a special milestone - a year full of laughter, little adventures, and big discoveries is behind you. The world gets a little bigger, more colorful, and more exciting every day. Now begins the time of the first steps, independent exploration, and great joy of movement. This is where Stapelstein® elements come into play: a gift that grows with you, inspires, and gets the whole family moving.
Why Stapelstein® is the Best Companion for the First Steps
- Safe Discovery: The light elements are free of harmful substances and invite even the youngest to safely balance, sit, and explore.
- Promotes Motor Skills & Sensory Perception: Stacking, climbing, grasping, and balancing playfully train gross and fine motor skills.
- Open Play Instead of Predefined Routines: Your child decides how to play - this strengthens creativity, self-efficacy, and self-confidence.
- Growing Concept: From the Mini element in the first year of life to balance challenges in kindergarten and creative play worlds for school children - Stapelstein® accompanies for years.
- For Indoors & Outdoors: Whether in the children's room, living room, or garden - the elements are robust, lightweight, and weatherproof.
Suitable Birthday Tip:
For the 1st birthday, particularly suitable are Stapelstein® Mini Original Rainbow and the Inside Set - perfect for small hands, safe first stacking attempts, and gentle movement incentives.
5 Play Ideas for the 1st Birthday with Family and Friends
(All ideas can be played with Stapelstein® Mini or Original elements.)
Discover & Sort Colors
Place two to three elements in different colors on the floor. Your child can look at the colors, touch them, and have you name them. This promotes language and perception.
Mini Balance Path
Place one or two elements one after the other on the carpet or the non-slip Stapelstein® Mat. Your child can climb on it, stand, or balance with your support.
Hide and Seek with Treasures
Hide a small stuffed animal or a cloth under a Stapelstein® element and let your child search for it. Encourages curiosity and fine motor skills.
Musical Stacking
Tap on the elements together with your hands to create different sounds. This combines motor skills, a sense of rhythm, and fun.
Gentle Rocking & Sitting
Sit with your child in an element (or hold them if they are sitting alone) and move them gently back and forth. This stimulates the sense of balance and provides a lot of fun.
A Gift for More Well-being
Stapelstein® not only gets children moving, but inspires the whole family. Parents can be involved in active games, siblings always find new play ideas, and even grandparents can join in. Movement is proven to promote physical and mental well-being – and this is exactly what Stapelstein® aims to promote, through more movement, more play, more togetherness.
Sustainability You Can Feel
The elements are produced climate-neutrally in Germany, made from durable, 100% recyclable EPP material, which is free of additives and safe for mouth contact. So you not only give your child something good, but also the environment.
A gift for the 1st birthday should grow, inspire, and enrich everyday life. Stapelstein® gives your child movement, creativity, and self-confidence, while giving the whole family valuable shared moments. Let the first birthday be the starting point for many colorful adventures – discover the world of Stapelstein® now and bring more movement into play.
