Have you ever questioned someone which pikler triangle to buy for your child?
Well, today I have got a detailed answer to this question.
Rule
First of all, you should keep in mind the rule of
- Age
- Height
- interest
Let me explain this rule in detail.
If you have two children with five years age difference, then you must be worried that either you should buy a single pikler triangle for both of your children or go for two different ones. I’ll say you need to go for two different pikler climbers because older children need a well-heightened pikler climber while younger children needs a smaller pikler climber to avoid injuries.
In the market, most of the companies are providing these pikler climbers in three different sizes. They are providing these in small, medium, and large sizes. While some companies just provide two sizes that are small and standard size. You may choose either one according to your needs. Let me explain these needs in detail now.
Usually, small size is suitable for children of 1 year to 2 or three years old. In contrast, the standard or large size is ideal for children of 3 to 8 years. These are just my rough estimates, while you may choose the one that better suits your child’s needs.
So, this was all about two factors (age and height) of that rule. Now, let’s discuss the third factor that is interest. This factor is also very important. It is much necessary that the toy you buy for your child should attract your child and your child must love it. So interest of your child is really very important and it should be a priority thing while buying any toy.
Shape and Color of Toys
As your child grows, he develops his interests regarding the shape and color of toys. He/she might like some colors more compared to the other colors. Earlier, there were not so many pikler triangles available in the market. But nowadays, there are many companies providing these wooden pikler triangles in a variety of shapes and massive diversity of colors. You should choose the color that is liked by your children.
Extra Toys
Another factor regarding interest is that either your children need some extra toys along with the pikler triangle, or he is satisfied with only the pikler climber. Some pikler triangles are available in the market along with other toys like ramp, slide, arch, and Montessori balance board. One of my favorite all in one set is the Woodandhearts Set of 4 (Triangle + Ramp + Arch+ Montessori Balance Board).
Still, If you have any confusions or any questions then you can ask in comments.
