KleinLeni – where play grows up
With heart, hand & mind
A heartfelt idea has become a brand that delights families.
At KleinLeni, everything revolves around what truly matters: childhood in motion, with ease, security, and lots of fun. We want to encourage children to explore, climb, and dream independently – safely, sustainably, and with a smile.
Hello World,
I'm Leni and I love running around outside. But even in autumn/winter, when the weather doesn't allow it, I need action in the house.
For this reason, my dad founded "KleinLeni" and looked for manufacturers of indoor play options that satisfy exactly this need for movement in the house.
Our concept – Play, Learn, Grow
Our concept is based on 3 pillars - only by combining these 3 pillars can we guarantee our standards for ourselves and our products.
1st pillar
Pedagogically valuable
Our products follow the principles of Montessori education: children should act independently, gather their own experiences , and grow through play. Our climbing triangles , arches , and furniture promote motor skills, balance, and self-confidence – a little more each day.
2nd pillar
Thinking sustainably
Our product manufacturers produce exclusively within the European Union – using high-quality, certified materials from sustainable forestry. Short supply chains, fair working conditions, and durable design are a matter of course for us. Because good products should last for generations.
3rd pillar
Securely built
Safety is KleinLeni's top priority. All our products are manufactured according to European safety standards and are regularly tested. Rounded edges, sturdy construction, and non-toxic paints ensure that children can play freely and safely – and parents can relax completely.
Our own brand: JULIES by KleinLeni
With JULIES by KleinLeni, we launched our own product line in 2024 – named after our second daughter Julie.
The series stands for minimalist design, the highest safety standards and countless play options.
Whether climbing triangle, arch or slide – each piece is crafted with attention to detail and makes children's eyes light up.
Trust that grows – Awards & Press

Local news
In 2024, we had a visit from local media, whose questions we answered in detail as part of a report.
The result is a great report!
Our showroom in Lingen
"...I am very pleased that an innovative and at the same time family-oriented company like 'KleinLeni' is now also represented in our city center," emphasized Mayor Dieter Krone at the meeting.
"The combination of a sustainable idea, educational ambition and stylish design shows just how diverse our offerings are in Lingen..."
Closing words
Behind KleinLeni there is no corporation or brand that provides vast amounts of money so that a company can grow quickly and uncontrolled.
Behind KleinLeni there is actually only me, Stefan, Leni's dad .
The story behind KleinLeni is real and not marketing gibberish from any corporation. Therefore, it can also happen here and there that the processes in the shop do not run 100% smoothly - but I do my best ;)
And now, have fun in our online shop!
