We're on the move
Our vision is to ensure that movement is accessible to all, regardless of age or ability. Movement fosters health, engages the mind, creates joy and contentment, and connects us to each other.
When we move well, we feel well.
We’ve created a short list of Imagination Invitations to get you started and inspired as you explore our elements. Discover your new favorite ways to play.
STACK
Build life-sized wonderlands with Stapelstein® Originals. Our exclusive wavy bottom edge allows for several play options. Stack the elements to create a stable pillar, or stagger the elements wave side up to create a wobble tower. Match two together to create a Stapelstein® sandwich to hide treasures in or balance on top of your stack.
BALANCE
Build a balance trail with Stapelstein® Originals. Turn them round side down for a trickier trail. Make a course over the lava floor, imagine stepping stones over a brook, or try to balance their favorite race car on top. Use the Stapelstein® Board to find your balance or combine one with Originals to create a dynamic rocking chair.
SPIN
Use the Stapelstein® Original as a spinning top or as a container to spin favorite toys inside. Spun on its side or on the rounded side, it makes a fun, topsy-turvy top. Children can cocoon themselves inside and turn, or sit and let a friend or sibling send them for a spin.
SORT
Organize Stapelstein® Originals and stack by color palette (primary, secondary, pastels) or use each element as a bowl to collect items and create color groupings. Invite your child to help organize household items alongside you: Legos, kitchen ingredients, even tiny socks on laundry day!
FUNctional playtime.
SPLASH
All of our products are waterproof and extremely buoyant in water thanks to its innovative EPP material and lightweight design. Float them on the water’s surface, fill with water and splash away, or use as a fun vessel to water your garden. Please note: Our products are not intended to serve as buoyancy aids.
LISTEN
Music class is in session! The Stapelstein® Original makes a pleasant, warm sound when you drum on it. Use your fingertips for a light raindrop pattern or get the wiggles out with your fists for a powerful beat. Brush hands across the surface for the sound of whistling winds. Change sounds and effects by stacking in various ways.
FIND
Hide all sorts of objects underneath the Stapelstein® Original and find them again. Connect two elements along the wavy edges and hide larger objects in the wobbly egg or line up three elements, place an object underneath one, mix them up and challenge your child to find their toy!
THROW
Use the hollow side of the Stapelstein® Original for games like throwing and catching. Or place on the floor to aim and throw objects inside. Flip round side up and toss like a frisbee; pass one to each participant and use for a round of hot potato.
TRANSPORT
Collect various objects and move from place to place in the hollow of the Stapelstein® Original. Water, sand, balls, soft toys—whatever your child chooses. Transport toys back to their homes at the end of the day for an interactive clean-up session.
CREATE
There are no limits or restrictions on what Stapelstein® can do! Children and adults can use elements to create an endless amount of games or activities. Assign each color a move and choreograph new dances based on the elements you choose. Assign an animal to each element for a game of charades or assign each a number for a colorful take on math practice. Doodle with chalk (fully washable!) or use as running bases for backyard baseball. Imagine and innovate!
