IGLU Mini Steps Soft Play Block – Mint Green Climbing Block 40 x 40 x 20 cm

IGLU Mini Steps Soft Play Block Mint Green – Soft step block for crawling, climbing, and exploring

With the IGLU Mini Steps Soft Play Block in Mint Green, you can easily add more variety to young children's floor play. The stair shape creates a small height difference that children can experiment with while crawling and climbing.

The Mini Steps is designed as a single compact soft-play element that fits easily into an existing play corner. Use the block independently as a small climbing challenge or combine it with other IGLU soft-play shapes to create a changing route.

By arranging the individual play elements differently, children are given space to discover new play ideas themselves. At the same time, combining shapes can invite them to explore space, height, and how different objects fit together.

The core consists of sturdy and lightweight PE foam that retains its shape during repeated use. The exterior is finished with a durable PVC artificial leather cover, making the surface smooth and easy to clean.

The Mint Green color gives the block a fresh, soft look that fits beautifully in bright, calm play areas.

The IGLU Mini Steps measures 40 x 40 x 20 cm, is recommended for children aged approximately 6 to 36 months, and is made in Latvia.

Compact climbing block for young children

The Mini Steps is intentionally kept small and simple.

For young children, a limited height difference can already be an interesting new experience. The stair shape invites them to discover what happens when the surface does not remain completely flat.

For example, children can:

• Crawl to a higher level
• Place hands on a higher step
• Shift weight forward
• Move back to a lower level
• Approach the block from different directions

This creates active play without a complicated setup.

Dimensions of 40 x 40 x 20 cm

The IGLU Mini Steps has a compact size of:

40 x 40 x 20 cm

This makes the block easy to add to:

• A small play corner
• A nursery
• A playroom
• An existing soft-play setup

The size makes the Mini Steps suitable as an individual play element, but also as part of a larger obstacle course.

Stair shape with different heights

The surface consists of different levels.

This stair shape can invite children to:

• Move upward
• Crawl downward
• Climb over the different levels
• Decide for themselves from which side they start

This creates a simple shape that still encourages various movements.

Crawling and climbing

During floor play, young children can use the Mini Steps to explore small height differences.

This can provide opportunities to playfully work on:

• Crawling
• Climbing
• Weight shifting
• Coordination
• Body control

We intentionally phrase this as opportunities to practice and explore, not as a guarantee of a specific motor development effect.

Recommended age 6 to 36 months

IGLU recommends the Mini Steps for children aged approximately:

6 to 36 months

Within this broad early play phase, the block can be interesting in different ways.

A younger child might primarily use the shape to:

• Lean against
• Crawl over
• Discover a first height difference

An older child can later use the block as:

• A climbing component
• An obstacle
• Part of an obstacle course
• An imaginative play object

The actual use remains dependent on the motor skills of the individual child.

Growing with different play phases

A child of a few months uses a soft-play block differently than a toddler.

Precisely because the Mini Steps has no fixed play rule, the same shape can become interesting again in different phases.

Initially, it might primarily be about:

• Looking
• Touching
• Crawling

Later, there may be more emphasis on:

• Climbing
• Combining
• Building
• Imaginative play

This keeps the block simple yet versatile.

Practicing coordination through play

When a child moves from one level to another, different movements must be coordinated.

For example:

• First a hand up
• Then moving the body
• Next, bringing up a knee or foot

The stair shape can therefore invite them to practice coordination through play.

Discovering spatial awareness

When the Mini Steps is combined with other shapes, children can experiment with how parts fit together.

For example, they can discover:

• Which shapes fit next to each other
• Which height connects to another shape
• How a route can be built
• What changes when a block is moved

This can invite spatial thinking and creative play.

Building your own route

The Mini Steps can easily become part of a small movement route.

Combine it, for example, with:

• A ramp
• A wave shape
• A cube
• Other soft play blocks

This creates an obstacle course that can be changed again and again.

Other soft-play shapes are sold separately.

Use it individually

You do not need a complete soft-play set to use the Mini Steps.

The block can easily be placed independently.

That makes it suitable when you:

• Want to start with one element
• Have limited space
• Want to expand an existing play corner
• Might want to add more shapes later

This way, you can start small and expand step by step.

To be combined with other IGLU soft-play shapes

One of the strengths of modular soft play is that different shapes can be combined with each other.

The Mini Steps can, for example:

• Be placed against a sliding ramp
• Be placed next to a wave shape
• Become part of a larger route

As a result, the same block can take on a different function.

Creative play without fixed rules

The Mini Steps does not always have to be used only as stairs.

In imaginative play, the block can, for example, turn into:

• A stage
• A small mountain
• A step
• A part of a structure
• An obstacle

Simple shapes leave a lot of room for your own ideas.

Sturdy PE foam

The core of the Mini Steps consists of PE foam.

According to the product information, this material is:

• Sturdy
• Lightweight
• Retains its shape during repeated use

This keeps the stair shape clearly recognizable while the material is much softer than a hard climbing structure.

Lightweight and easy to move

Because the block is lightweight, it can be moved within the play area relatively easily.

That is practical when you:

• Want to create a new route
• Want to store the block
• Want to rearrange the play corner
• Want to add other shapes

This keeps the play environment flexible.

PVC artificial leather upholstery

Around the foam is a cover of PVC artificial leather.

This outer layer gives the Mini Steps a smooth surface and helps protect the foam during daily use.

Additionally, the material is easy to wipe clean.

Easy to clean

IGLU recommends cleaning the surface with:

• A soft cloth
• Mild soap

This makes it easy to remove dust and minor stains after playing.

More extensive maintenance instructions are not mentioned in the provided product information.

Mint Green – Fresh and soft

This version has the color:

Mint Green

The soft green tint gives the Mini Steps a fresh and calm appearance.

Mint Green combines nicely with, for example:

• White
• Beige
• Ecru
• Grey Beige
• Soft pastel shades
• Natural wood tones

This makes the block easy to fit into various light and calm interiors.

Calm look in the play area

Active children's toys do not always have to be brightly colored.

The Mint Green version adds color without the overall look becoming busy.

This makes the block beautifully suitable for:

• A bright nursery
• A neutral playroom
• A play corner in the living room
• A soft pastel style

For daily floor play

The Mini Steps is developed for soft play on the floor.

You do not need to assemble or secure the block.

Place it on a suitable, stable surface and ensure there is enough free space around the element.

Then the play can start immediately.

Small challenge, many possibilities

The compact dimensions of 40 x 40 x 20 cm make the Mini Steps easy for young children to handle.

Yet the block offers various possibilities:

• Crawling
• Climbing
• Stepping over
• Combining
• Imaginative play

Thus, a relatively small element takes on a versatile role in the play corner.

Repetition as part of the play

Young children often like to try the same movement several times.

The Mini Steps is well-suited for this.

For example:

• Crawling up
• Moving down
• Turning around
• Starting again

Through repetition, a familiar route can feel increasingly secure.

Discovering different directions

The stair shape can be approached from multiple sides.

Therefore, a child does not have to follow the same route every time.

You can, for example:

• Rotate the block
• Move it
• Place it against another element

This changes the play experience without having to add new toys.
