Grapat 20 Element Treasure Basket
This Grapat natural wooden toy set includes 20 elements made from wood and finished in natural waxes in a GOTS certified organic cotton bag.
This large collection of 20 wooden treasures is designed to be used for discovery through play, stimulating all the senses. Various shapes including bowls, balls, rings, coins and spools with leather threads make up each set. The perfect size for little hands to discover.
Small hands enjoy exploring the shapes and learning how they can interact with each other. These wooden pieces can form part of a larger treasure basket if you include other suitable materials such as metal or fabric items. Treasure baskets are often associated with Heuristic Play where babies explore the relationships between objects around them by being allowed to play with various elements freely. This set offers a great starting point. Team up with other Grapat natural wooden toys for open-ended play. This is a wonderful natural set for Montessori and Waldorf childcare settings, and makes a perfect natural baby gift which green parents will love.
Recommended for 10+ months. Spools measure 6cm in diameter and height and have a leather thread through them. 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.
Please note: due to distribution restrictions we cannot send Grapat toys to addresses outside of the UK and EU.
Sensory play: fine motor, gross motor, tripod grip, hand-eye co-ordination
Schematic play: trajectory schema, enclosing schema
Grapat toys are designed to embolden the natural desire to play within every child.

Customer Reviews
Beautiful set, tactile and open ended and it’s been played with every day. Perfect for 6 months up, it makes a lovely treasure basket.
My 10 month old is loving exploring these objects. Great to offer in its totality or in addition to other bits and pieces to create themed treasure baskets. Wonderfully tactile - I love how a few of them satisfyingly fit together perfectly. Bobbins and containers are my little one’s fave. I’m sure they will be used in different ways as she gets older. Got 3 natural nins to go with them.
I was so excited to show my 9 month old these gorgeous grapat natural elements.
I love heuristic play and these beautifully crafted wooden shapes will go so nicely in our treasure basket.
True to form and inline with heuristic play, my little boy started off being more interested in the gorgeous, sturdy box they came in but after a while he picked up the different elements (now scattered on the floor!) and inspected them, turning them over and over in his hands, before deciding to tap-tap the longest piece of wood on a honeycomb cup.
I’m so happy that our much loved Grimms friends fit inside each of the cups in the set, this will expand our play with them as well.
These are lovely tactile elements which are easy to grip. They come presented in a simple yet elegant box as well as coming with a drawstring bag which can be used to play guessing games.
This is such a lovely toy. Because of its simplicity I feel it will be overlooked by most but the shapes are perfect for little hands to explore. The wood has a lovely grain and it is enjoyed by my 1 and 3 year old.
