Beginner

The Beginner large-scale construction set contains 116 parts, allowing you to create 24 great designs so your little crawler* can embark on their first climbing adventures. The learning tower is used especially often. Children watch us parents very closely, so it is only logical to involve them in our everyday lives. But more on that below!

Even before your child takes their first upright steps at around 8 months, they practise a wide range of skills every day. Most of the time, your little crawler simply stands up only to sit down again. Some time later come the first very cautious steps while holding on to something. The Beginner large-scale construction set is the perfect toy for playfully accompanying these first adventures.

*At QUADRO, we use the term ‘little crawler’ for a child who is beginning to consciously perceive their surroundings and wants to explore them actively through movement. This generally starts within the first 6–12 months of life.

With the design My first little playhouse with climbing platform

you will see your little one instinctively trying to pull themselves up on it and later climb onto the platform at a height of 25 cm. And you will see your child’s immense, uninhibited joy when they master these movement sequences.

Especially at the beginning, it is important that you can always step in immediately to provide support whenever something does not work on the first attempt.

With its pleasantly warm tubes, no sharp edges, complete absence of odor, plasticizers and PAHs, Beginner is a safe and ideal companion for strengthening fine and gross motor skills. Every model is an adventure for your little crawler, whether it involves overcoming differences in height or crawling through the structure.

QUADRO is simply the perfect toy for early childhood development because it is compact and can quickly be set up wherever you need to keep watch. Whether in the bedroom, living room or nursery—wherever the action is taking place—its effortless versatility places no limits on play for you and your little crawler!

You will be surprised at how naturally the assembled model is claimed for play—toddlers from 6 months old immediately recognize the climbing frame as their giant toy and use it carefree during their daily training sessions!

This strengthens your little crawler’s self-confidence and creates many formative moments of success right from the start.

Depending on your child’s age and motor skills, you can consider expanding Beginner. The model suggestions in the model database are helpful, where you will find play towers and, of course, the learning chair.

Because QUADRO play equipment can be used in so many different ways and cleverly combines the benefits of numerous products in one—together with a level of quality that allows it to be used across several generations—it is considerably more affordable overall than comparable single-use or disposable toys. That is good for your wallet and for the environment!

The following learning towers can be built with Beginner

The learning tower model is a raised platform for toddlers that can be used in the kitchen or bathroom, among other places, allowing you to do things together at the same height. Instead of watching and fussing from below, your little one is suddenly right in the middle of the action and fully involved. The side enclosure always provides secure support, which immediately builds confidence!

Here too, it is important to remember that all of this is completely new to your toddler and that you must be able to step in and help immediately at any time.

Thanks to the PLUG-IN SYSTEM, converting the climbing frame into a learning tower is completely straightforward and quick. No sawing or drilling, no DIY construction plans and no trips to the hardware store.

Everything you need is included in Beginner. And if your learning tower ever comes into contact with fruit or other foods that can stain—no problem. Thanks to the high-density materials, you do not need to worry about discoloration.

The comparatively large standing area is important. Combined with the slightly textured panel for an even more secure foothold, it had already proven to be the perfect platform size during QUADRO’s development between 1976 and 1979.

Depending on their age, you can also build the learning tower open—exactly as your little crawler needs it.

Cleaning the learning tower is quick and easy. All parts can be cleaned thoroughly and without restriction using ordinary dishwashing liquid and plenty of water. You can do this as often as you like or whenever necessary.

Your child wants something to do every day! Beginner gives you meaningful opportunities to experience things together—incorporate the learning tower into your daily routine and you will discover that even the most ordinary tasks become super-exciting and fascinating adventures for your little one.

You can convert your Beginner learning tower back into a climbing model at any time and as often as you like. Thanks to the model database with more than 20 different models, Beginner never gets boring.

All these features combined make Beginner truly GIANT!

You know your child’s abilities best. Here is an overview of the possibilities Beginner gives you:

• Upper railing ideally positioned at the child’s hip height
• Either fully enclosed, partially open or completely open
• Easy and safe access to the models, no sharp edges, everything rounded and easy to grip securely
• Standing platform at a height of 45 cm—ideally at knee level—so toddlers can reach the counter or washbasin by themselves
• In addition to the 45 cm platform height, a height of 25 cm is also available—important for initial practice
• Panel with a lightly textured surface for secure footing, yet stain-resistant if something gets spilled
• Virtually indestructible material, even when exposed to household cleaners such as soft soap or dishwashing liquid
• Suitable for outdoor use too—no water absorption, splintering or cracking as with wooden products
• No painting or impregnation required throughout its entire life cycle, unlike wooden products
• Especially important: no lingering odors after outdoor use, because neither water nor other environmental influences can penetrate the high-density material

Beginner can be combined perfectly with a second Beginner. This allows you to build even larger climbing models, including the two popular learning towers Kitchen stool with safety railing and The learning tower with small step (open).

With a second Beginner, you can also build learning tables, such as the Learning table with climbing house for toddlers!

Of course, Beginner is also compatible with the QUADRO curved, modular and integral slides for even more variety!

With two or more Beginner sets, all you need is a QUADRO slide and the models Tower and modular slide as well as Tower and curved slide can be built after a quick conversion.
