This set finds its roots in the principles of Pikler-Lóczy pedagogy, in particular that of free motor skills.
It offers a unique type of support for the development of your child's creativity, agility and motor skills.
Children find in it a perfect support for free play and an ideal contribution to their “yes space”.
It invites our young children to coordinate their movements to climb it, thanks to its solid rungs adapted to their hands and feet.
Even when they are still very small, the triangle can already use it to hang their mobiles. Thanks to its adjustable positions, it adjusts to the abilities and desires of children to offer them more or less gentle slopes.
As they grow, this set becomes an opportunity to try new positions, to invent new games, to make a tent, a cabin... And the opportunity for parents to let them move and imagine freely.

Through their eco-friendly approach and use of sustainable materials, they create safe, child-inspired products to spark their imagination and creativity.
Intended to promote children's development through movement and perfectly suited to pedagogies such as Montessori, Waldorf and Pikler, Ante's toys benefit from the trust of parents and are loved by children, so that they can explore the world in which they live.
What is the educational benefit of this product?
In the Pikler-Lóczy pedagogy, children aged 0 to 3 learn to know their body and control its movements. We let him do it, without intervening in his postures, he initiates his movements: this is the principle of free motor skills.
The Pikler cube gives children a unique free motor skills support. They will climb, descend, use their arms, their legs, but also their hands and their feet, and it is in fact their entire body that they will activate to coordinate their movements.
At Maria Montessori, repetition plays an essential place in development. A child repeats as long as it is interesting for him, until he masters an exercise, an activity, a movement. During the sensitive period of coordination of movements (from approximately 18 months to 4 years), the interest of the motor skills course is to offer numerous opportunities for movement, to try, do, repeat, until mastery of every gesture.
The Pikler-Lóczy cube also represents an opportunity for children to do more with it than a simple motor skills support, and it is the concept of free play, dear to Rudolf Steiner, which will take form when they give free rein to their imagination.
What is the interest from a neuroscience point of view?
- Participation in sensorimotor development* (*Through the coordination of their movements and the adjustment of their posture.).
- Strengthening neural circuits through repetition of movements.
What is sensorimotor development?
Sensorimotor development is the process by which children develop their senses and learn to perform, control and coordinate their movements.
The senses include the best known ones: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, but also balance (thanks to the vestibular system) and proprioception (position of the body in space, given by the somatosensory system).
These different senses work in concert with each other and with the motor system.
In terms of motor development, we can distinguish two main categories of motor skills:
- gross motor skills, which refers to movements of the whole body or the large limbs and muscles of the body (legs, arms, trunk, head),
- fine motor skills, which refers to the movements of smaller muscles and limbs (fingers, hands, wrists, feet, ankles, toes, lips, tongue).
What age groups is it suitable for?
The evolving motor skills track can be actively used as a brachiation bar from the moment your child tries to stand up on their own, then in its function as a climbing cube once they are able to stand, and up to about 8 years old. It can be climbed but also used as an indoor slide by combining it with its ramp, or even as a tent, cabin, etc.
What is the point of this product in summary?
- Develop your motor skills, and particularly the coordination of your movements.
- Learn to be independent.
- Strengthen his self-confidence.
