Giant Birchwood Clamps - Set of 4 for Den Building & Free Play

CHF 29.00

Speelbelovend – Giant clips for building dens and free play

A blanket over two chairs – and the most beautiful den collapses with the first gust of wind. This is where the giant clips come in: like oversized clothespins, they reliably hold blankets and cloths to chairs, tables or branches. That's all it takes to turn the living room into a hideout, a knight's castle or a play shop.

The brand name is a Dutch play on words: "speelbelovend" instead of "veelbelovend" – promising play instead of promising. This is based on the conviction that free play is a promise for the future: children who are allowed to build, decide and discard on their own practice independence quite naturally.

In the minilou Family Concept Store you will find the set of 4 giant clips made of birch wood – the simplest addition to any blanket, any cloth and, by the way, also to the Trigonos wooden building game: with them, fabrics can be attached to the rods in no time at all. A compact gift with a big play effect.

FAQ - Häufige Fragen

What does "Speelbelovend" mean?

The name is a Dutch pun:"Play-promising" instead of "promising". The idea behind it is that free play is a promise for the future – entirely in line with Montessori education, which focuses on independence.

How do the giant clips work?

Wie übergrosse Wäscheklammern: Ein Gummiring sorgt für die nötige Spannkraft, sodass sich Decken und Tücher an Stühlen, Tischen, Ästen oder Bauspiel-Stäben befestigen lassen – kinderleicht zu öffnen, stark genug zum Halten.

What can children build with it?

Caves under the dining table, huts in the garden, theater curtains, market stalls, or hiding places – indoors and outdoors alike. All it takes are blankets, cloths, and imagination.

Do the giant clips fit Trigonos?

Yes, wonderful – the clamps are the easiest addition to the Trigonos wooden construction toy: With them, you can attach additional cloths and blankets to the wooden rods in no time and make every den even cozier.

What material are the clips made of?

Made from FSC-certified birch woodwith rubber rings for tension – carefully crafted and designed for years of play.

From what age are the giant clips suitable?

As soon as they start building dens – usually from around 3 years old. Younger children build with support, older ones independently construct entire landscapes. The exact age recommendation can be found with the product.
