    Grimm's Small 4 Elements Building Set

    This eco puzzle set is a fantastical depiction of the four elements: earth, air, fire and water with a cave, rainbow, flames and waves. This incredible 23-piece wooden block set will look amazing in any playroom and is perfect for creative play. This natural, Waldorf-inspired toy will give your child the tools to assemble the elements puzzle as well as create their own stunning landscapes, patterns and creative structures, developing their motor skills, spatial thinking and problem-solving abilities as they play. The pieces are made from sustainable lime wood and finished with child-friendly, non-toxic, water-based colour stain - a natural finish that allows the beautiful grain of the wood to shine through.

    The 23 pieces are all 2cm thick and sit in a frame measuring 22.5 x 22.5cm. Not suitable for under 3 years

    Please note: due to distribution restrictions we cannot send Grimm's toys to addresses outside of the UK and Ireland.

    Featuring toys to shake, build or pull along, Babi Pur’s range of Grimm’s toys has something for every child to fall in love with. The quality of these toys is superb and their appeal is timeless – we’re sure that they will be treasured not only by your children but by your grandchildren too.

    Grimm’s Toys are inspired by the Waldorf Steiner education movement which advocates learning through thoughtful, creative play at an unhurried pace. Toys play an important part of the learning experience and Waldorf toys are made with natural materials, beautiful and simplistic – the lack of details allow children to fill in the blanks with their imaginations. They can be used in multiple ways in creative play scenarios, rather than being prescriptive. Waldorf toys are wonderfully tactile and call on children to play with them.

    Grimm’s educational wooden toys are made in Europe from alder, lime, beech and maple, all sourced from sustainably managed European forests. They are made in handpicked workshops across Europe and coated with natural colours and oils by the Grimm’s team in Germany. All of the paints and lacquer used to finish your lovingly made Grimm’s toy are harmless and enhance the natural beauty of the wood, allowing the grain to shine through.

Lovely

Such a lovely piece but I agree that it is slightly small, but the bigger one would be way to big! my children love that they can build on the tray as well as in the floor!

Stunning set

I like the size of this set, some pieces are quite small but these have so many uses in small world play. Just not ideal for toddlers who shove all they can in their mouth but then that's why the age range is from 3y. the wooden storage tray is a lovely touch and easy to display as it is. A great addition to my toys and I can see many years of play value with it.

Great for imaginative play

We used it to make pens for our Holztiger animals , a river for our duck and both my 13yr old and 2 year enjoy playing with it together

A really lovely product for creative play, puzzle solving and building

I love this product, it's stunningly beautiful and very versatile. Looks amazing on display! It's more suitable for older toddlers and children, as there are many parts and some are pretty small - I wouldn't recommend this if you have a child still wanting to put everything in their mouth. It's great for building quirky structures or towers, and takes a bit of problem solving to put together and make sure it doesn't fall down. It actually creates more interesting structures than the rainbows can, in my opinion, due to the variety of different shapes (and simply has more pieces and colours too). It can also be used as the different elements, although the asymmetrical rainbow did bug me a bit. It can also obviously be used as a puzzle, but that is a bit tricky and more suitable for older children.

I know many people feel it is too small, and prefer the (frankly enormous!) larger version of this. Personally I think the large is actually too large, and I like how this is much more transportable - I can take this with us, even to places such as a restaurant, to keep my son entertained, which I definitely couldn't do with the large. You could build your structures on a table, whereas the large really needs floor space. However the pieces are a little thin in my view. Although we haven't had any pieces break I don't think it would be hard to do if you stood on certain pieces the wrong way. It's also very easy to misplace pieces!! However with care it isn't a big deal. I do still love this product and would recommend it.
