Climbing holds for kids are about more than just play; they are an introduction to problem-solving and physical confidence.  At Uncarved Block, we bring the same commercial-grade quality found in Australia's top climbing gyms directly to your home wall or backyard project.  Our kids' range is designed to be safe, durable, and intuitive for small hands and growing climbers.

Why choose Uncarved Block for your kids' wall?

• Gym-Grade Durability: Our holds are not plastic toys. They are manufactured using the same high-strength polyurethane and professional-grade texture used in commercial climbing centers. 
• Designed for Small Hands: We focus on ergonomics. Our kids' range features, positive "incut" jugs and edges. This allows children to get a full, secure grip, which reduces fatigue and helps them feel safe as they move higher.
• Maximum Friction for Safety: Because we use professional textures, these holds provide superior grip for sneakers and school shoes. This prevents the frustrating slips often associated with cheap, molded plastic holds found in department stores.
• Built-In Longevity: Every hold includes a built-in metal washer. This prevents the polyurethane from cracking during installation and ensures the hold stays locked in place without spinning, providing a stable platform for every climb.

How many holds do you need? 

For a standard home wall, we recommend 5+ holds per square meter. A single 2.4m x 1.2m sheet of plywood generally requires a minimum of 15 to 20 holds to create a fun, engaging variety of paths.

Which holds should I get, and how do I choose the right set for my wall?

Choosing the right holds depends on the age of the climbers and the size of your wall. For most home projects, you want a mix of large "jugs" and "Edges" (easy-to-grip handles) and varied shapes that keep the climbing interesting. If you are just starting out or building a standard-sized wall for children, we highly recommend the 50 Kids Fun Pack.

It is our most popular starter set because it removes the guesswork. Instead of trying to pick individual shapes, you get a curated variety of 50 gym-grade holds that offer plenty of easy-to-grab options for beginners. It provides enough density to cover about two standard sheets of plywood, giving you the freedom to create multiple paths and keep your kids challenged as they grow. It’s the simplest, most cost-effective way to go from a blank board to a fully functional climbing wall in one afternoon.

Installation Options

• Bolt-On: Best for dedicated plywood walls with pre-drilled T-nuts. These allow you to move and "reset" the wall easily as your child grows.

• Screw-On: Best for attaching directly to thick timber posts, fences, or existing playground equipment where you don't have access to the back of the wall.
