FEWER TOYS, MORE PLAY
Rediscover play.
klimop is a concept store for children, built around play that grows with them. We curate toys and nursery pieces that come alive through imagination and are made to be handed down. Every order comes with a play guide showing five ways to play with each toy.
5 play ideas in every box
Natural, safe materials · CE / EN 71
Inspired by the Netherlands, curated in Türkiye
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Let’s bring back the real play.
Childhood is short, and every moment of it counts. The best ones are spent playing together with the loved ones. Children learn, overcome challenges, and get ready for what lies ahead through play. It doesn’t take much: a little time, a little space and a few good toys.
A box
becomes a tunnel
A scarf
becomes the sea
A plank
becomes a bridge
A stone
becomes an island
WHY WE KEEP IT SMALL
We do the curation. Your child does the playing.
No more getting lost in endless toy aisles. No more boredom after just a few plays. We look closely at every toy and bring the best-loved ones from around the world straight to your door.
We choose, so you don’t have to
No crowded shelves. We ask five questions. Can it be many things? Is it responsibly made? Will it last a generation? If a toy falls short, it doesn’t make the cut.
5 play ideas in every box
Every order comes with a play guide incorporating five game ideas. The first games are ready the evening you open it; your child will dream up the rest.
Play with peace of mind
Every toy we choose meets international safety standards such as CE and EN 71. Made here or abroad, we judge them all the same way: how well they invite play, and how safe they are.
A shelf that follows the seasons
Alongside age, we think in seasons and in kinds of play. Spring calls us into the garden, summer to the water, autumn back to the nest and winter in by the fire.
FOUR SEASONS OF PLAY
A new season, a new way to play.
Our shelf follows the seasons, because as the world outside changes, so does play. Each season brings a few new toys, fresh play ideas and new pages in the Play Book.

OUR STORY AND VISION
klim op is Dutch of “climb up”
klimop is also the Dutch word for ivy. Ivy starts with a single leaf, grows patiently, and in time, covers a whole wall. Childhood is a lot like that.
In the Netherlands, we saw children grow up outdoors and on the move, playing alongside kids older and younger than themselves. That culture inspires everything we choose: open-ended, useful and built to last.
THE QUESTIONS WE ASK EVERY TOY
Before a toy earns its place on our shelf.
01
Can it be many things?
Open-ended by design: a hoop is a tunnel today, a house tomorrow.
02
Is it the best of its kind?
A careful selection, each chosen over many others.
03
Is it responsibly made?
Safe, non-toxic materials, chosen with thoughtful play in mind.
04
Does it invite others to join?
Room for more than one pair of hands.
05
Will it last a generation?
Durable, repairable and made to be handed down.
