An indoor home playground is a versatile play space. The unique feature of all Montessori climbing equipment is that it provides training based on the “learning through play” principle. So, while little ones enjoy themselves, climbing from one ladder to the next, having fun on towers, in playhouses, or with gymnastics accessories, they are unknowingly developing valuable skills. Their muscles strengthen, their self-confidence grows, and they gain full control of their bodies, improving coordination and fine motor skills. This is precisely what climbing structures for toddlers from WoodandHearts offer children of different ages.
The WoodandHearts range includes everything from compact climbing toys for the youngest users to more advanced sports equipment suitable for teenagers. With a variety of playgrounds, climbing structures, and toddler climbing equipment adaptable for different age groups and home environments. There is an ideal solution for any setup, whether it’s for a small room or living area or for a spacious nursery where you can create a true mini-gym.
Key Benefits of WoodandHearts Playgrounds
- They are thoughtfully designed to support a child’s growth and learning at every stage. With numerous frame options and structures featuring various elements, you’ll find exactly what suits your needs.

To choose from the wide variety of available indoor home playgrounds, measure your room dimensions. This will help determine the maximum allowable equipment size. So, measure your available space and explore different configurations to find the perfect setup. If you’re looking to create a multifunctional sports area at home, consider which elements can be combined for added functionality.
For example, the Wooden Climbing Playhouse can be paired with a Toddler Indoor Slide. This combination allows you to use the slide as a climbing ramp, a traditional slide, and as an adjustable-height learning table. Add a few more gymnastics accessories, and the number of exciting games and exercises increases even further.
Playground Options by Age Group
Now, let’s explore playground options by age group. For each age category, we have highlighted the most popular products, based on feedback from many parents and educators, to provide you with this curated selection.
Infants (6 months - 1.5 years)
For our smallest users, we offer sensory bars they can explore as they get ready to become strong and agile little adventurers. Most indoor home playgrounds in our range are suitable for children from 8 months old. Since climbing structures for infants should be simple, safe, and supportive of early development, we suggest starting with basic frames that can later be integrated into a wider indoor playground setup or expanded with additional frames.
For babies who are just beginning to explore their surroundings, strengthen their muscles, and develop basic motor skills, we recommend:
- Montessori Climbing Set (Small Size with Climbing Stones) offers multiple ways to play, from simple climbing to creative play activities.
- Montessori Triangle and Ramp is a classic combination, perfect for an introduction to climbing structures.
- Wooden Climbing Dome (XS Size). At first, babies can play inside the structure, relaxing like in a cozy cave. As they grow, they can climb on top, grab the bars from the inside, dive through hexagonal openings, and have fun however they like.
- Montessori Rocker is both a rocking toy and a balance trainer. With a cushion attached, it becomes a cozy cradle and a resting place. When flipped over, it transforms into an enchanting bridge for climbing.
Toddlers (1,5-5 years)
Toddlers are naturally energetic and curious, and their play equipment should provide a balance of challenge and safety. At this stage, climbing structures for toddlers help develop coordination, balance, and confidence as they engage in more independent play. In addition to their curiosity and drive for discovery, toddlers love imaginative play and add a touch of creativity to each of their activities. For your little explorers and fans of fun adventures, we offer the following options:
- Triangle Climber encourages physical coordination and exploration, helping toddlers build strength and balance in a safe environment. The open-ended design also supports imaginative play, turning it into anything from a mountain to climb to a secret fort.
- Rocking Arch (Standard Size) can be a bridge, tunnel, or simply a place to relax. It’s perfect for helping toddlers develop a sense of balance while providing multiple play possibilities.
- Wooden Climbing Dome is ideal for enhancing motor skills. Its shape allows toddlers to explore all sides, making it as much a physical challenge as an invitation to creative play.
- Home Climbing Wall offers a safe way to introduce young ones to climbing, this wall is customizable in difficulty, allowing toddlers to enjoy gentle practice now and to grow into it later for more challenging fun.
- Indoor Jungle Gym for Kids is all-in-one gym. It supports climbing, swinging, and hanging, providing endless fun and an opportunity to develop strength and coordination in an indoor space designed for safe, engaging play.
- Swedish Wall (Two-Part) offers climbing, hanging, and stretching possibilities that encourage active play and fine motor skill development in toddlers.
School-Aged Children (6-10 years)
As kids grow, they need more challenging structures that can help build strength, endurance, and agility. School-aged children benefit from equipment that allows them to refine skills. They need larger and more durable climbing structures that can withstand active play and varied intensity levels.
Recommended structures for school-aged kids include:
- Large Montessori Climbing Set offers varied challenges that help kids build endurance and develop advanced motor skills.
- Three-Part Swedish Wall helps older kids develop flexibility, coordination, and physical endurance.
- Indoor Monkey Bars encourage kids to work on upper body strength, grip, and endurance. They’re a great way for kids to stay active indoors
- Large Indoor Playground provides an expansive play space for kids to practice climbing, swinging, and hanging exercises that contribute to overall strength, agility, and problem-solving skills through creative play.
