Building Confidence: Our Mini Jugs & Footholds

Building Confidence: Our Mini Jugs & Footholds

Climbing is more than just reaching the top—it’s about movement, confidence, coordination, and discovering what our bodies can do. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our newest set of climbing holds: the mini jugs & footholds, thoughtfully designed to support the very first steps—hands and feet—of your little one’s climbing journey.


mini jugs: The Perfect First Grip

Our mini jugs have quickly become a mini beasts favourite—and for good reason. With their wide, easy-to-grip openings, these holds offer a natural, secure feel for small hands, making them ideal for:

  • Young climbers starting their climbing adventure

  • Toddlers learning to pull up, stand, or take their first steps

  • Building confidence through comfortable, repeatable movement

The thoughtful shape encourages proper hand placement, helping kids feel safe and in control as they explore vertical movement.

To make them even more fun, this set includes five mini Jugs in the soft pastel colours of our popular Ocean Explorers collection—shells, sea creatures, and soothing tones that spark imagination and creativity.


Basic Footholds: Learning Starts from the Ground Up

While climbing is often all about the hands, great movement starts with the feet. That’s why we created our Basic Foothold—a small but mighty addition designed to:

  • Teach young climbers how to stand and push confidently from their feet

  • Encourage balanced movement and better body awareness

  • Help grown-ups guide climbs with clearer, easier instructions

All of our footholds come in one simple grey tone, deliberately chosen to stand out from the rest of our colourful collections. This contrast makes it easier for little climbers to identify foot placements and for parents or coaches to direct footwork—an important part of early climbing progression.


Why It Matters

Confidence doesn’t come from climbing harder—it comes from feeling secure, supported, and successful on the wall. Our mini jugs & footholds are designed to nurture that experience from the start. Whether your child is just learning to stand or already scrambling with enthusiasm, this set helps develop:

  • Grip strength

  • Coordination

  • Spatial awareness

  • Communication skills (like learning "hands here, feet there")

  • A joyful connection to movement

Give your little one the tools to move with confidence—one step, one grip, one joyful climb at a time.
