This stacking toy is person shaped and can lead to other shapes depending on the order the children fit the pieces and on the children’s imagination.
It improves hand-eye coordination and allows multiple actions and combinations.
The wooden pieces can be thread with a cord or can be piled up.
Recommended for children 36 months +.
Grapat toys are hand made using natural wood and water based stain. Colours and wood grains vary as does life itself. Over time wood can wear with play.
Spanish manufacturer, Grapat, creates beautiful, open-ended toys. Manufactured by local craftspeople, the toys are made from sustainably harvested birch and beech wood, finished with water-based non-toxic stains that comply with European safety standard Toy EN / 71-3: 2014 + A1: 2014 / 2013. The dyes penetrate deep into the wood, preventing colour chipping when the toys are dropped. There will be some natural variation in colour as each piece is painted by hand. Bags are made from upcycled fabric sourced from larger, local businesses. All toys are great additions to both Waldorf and Montessori education programs.
