    Grapat Loose Parts 3 Natural Wooden Spools

    This Grapat Loose Parts set includes 3 natural wood spools in different shapes.

    Three simple wooden reels that allow for all kinds of creative play and ideas. Stack them up, knock them down and roll them around. This supplementary set of loose parts compliment the Grapat play sets or can be used alone. Grapat spools are used by children in a multitude of ways – there is no right or wrong way to play! Sort, organise, stack, align, post or transport, these loose parts will instigate learning through play at all stages of your child’s development. This set of three wooden spools is a perfect addition to a baby's treasure basket for discovery through heuristic play. Team up with additional loose parts play sets or Grapat Nins at Babipur.

    These wooden play bobbins are a must have learning resource for early years education, and loved by Montessori and Waldorf settings for counting, and threading. Loose parts help children develop critical thinking and problem solving through creative and imaginative play.

    Recommended for 18+ months. Spools measure approx 4.5cm height. 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.

    Sensory play:

    • Touch: clutching and grasping, textures, fine motor skills, tripod grip
    • Visual: pattern recognition

    Schematic play: This toy will appeal to children demonstrating the positioning schema.

    Please note: due to distribution restrictions we cannot send Grapat toys to addresses outside of the UK and EU.

    Grapat toys are designed to embolden the natural desire to play within every child. Simplistic toys made from natural materials allow children to play freely without rules or structure, playing discovering and learning. Sure to be a favourite with Montessori toy lovers, counting, sorting and open ended play galore. Grapat toys are famed for the “Nins”, a beautiful range of traditional Waldorf toy peg dolls available in a plethora of colours and designs that give them real character. Grapat toys exude the natural beauty of the earth made using locally sourced sustainable wood and finished with water based colour stain that is safe for children and will not chip away. Nurture your child’s instincts to play and create their own imaginary worlds with Grapat.

Versatile!

These are great for including in loose parts baskets and imaginative play as well as activities for fine motor skills like threading. These get a lot of action in our house and are sturdy. Would recommend!

Perfect for a baby treasure basket

Purchased as a stocking filler for our 3 month olds first Christmas. She loved to hold these and now she’s older is rolling and stacking. Lovely to add into a Respiin basket for babies to explore loose objects

Affordable, versatile toy

Great for imaginative play, from developing motorskills such as threading objects on to string, to using them as columns to build structures or as little tree trunks in imaginative play, these have been a great little addition to our home and would make a lovely small gift for a toddler.

I bought these originally as an addition to our treasure basket but they have also been used in stacking games, as part of castles/towers/houses/fire stations etc and as food items when they are playing with their play kitchen and many other games. Really good value and played with daily
