Pikler Triangle

This little guy likes to move. 

I heard on a podcast that Pikler triangles are excellent for growing babies' muscles and coordination naturally through play. Then we visited friends who had a little arch/slide combo in their living room. Jaron climbed all over that thing! 

So I searched marketplace. Nothing was exactly what I was looking for. Ebay had a few options though! And reasonably priced! I chose this set in the end because it seemed the most sturdy. It can hold 150lbs or up to three kids. 

As you can see, it has a lot of pieces. 

It took a while to put together! Jaron helped by handing me screws. 

The bases slide on our smooth floor, so I took an old yoga mat to be a base for the arch and slide. 

So far Jaron hasn't been too interested in it on his own. I've gotten him to go down the slide a couple times. He seems to like the round bars as opposed to the flat rectangle bars. I think once his balance improves, he'll be more in to it. 

Same with the actual Pikler triangle. He's not quite ready to climb it, so I have it folded up against the wall for now. 

I love that the color scheme matches our living room!
