Body and balance
climbs, hangs, balances, falls and gets up
For children from 0 to 12 years
Coming
Pikler triangle with ramp, climbing arch, wall bars, balance board: coming soon.
What a child needs right now
A child grows from the ground up.
Body and hands first, then concentration, only then letters, numbers and the world. Pick an age and the tree shows what makes sense right now and what to start with.
Child’s age
Pick an age to see what belongs to it and what to start with.

Why a tree, and not a list of subjects
The parent’s language
Subjects like “sensorial education” are the teacher’s language. A parent says “I want her to move” or “I want him to stay with one thing”. The tree speaks that way and leads to the same materials.
Nothing moves
The tree is another view of the same catalogue. Every material keeps its category and its address. From each area of the tree you reach its category.
Age as year rings
Age is not a branch. Hands and senses belong to a one-year-old and a five-year-old alike, it just begins with something else. So age does not filter, it highlights.
