Featuring toys to shake, build or pull along, Babipur’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.

Customer Reviews
The Grimms Lara is probably the most beautiful set available in the current catalogue.
The colours are lovely and the pieces lend themselves to flatlays and mandalas amazingly well. Flowers are the obvious make from the Lara but we’ve used it to create animals, underwater scenes, turtles, the possibilities are endless.
It’s also a beautiful puzzle just to play with for mindfulness
Possibly the most beautiful set ever made! The combination of shapes and colours is so good. Honestly you'll want to just sit and admire it all day long! In terms of building with it, it's not the best set however it's great for flatlays and mandalas. My daughter likes to use the individual pieces as loose parts in small world play. We both love it!
I purchased this beautiful mandala last year for my daughter's 2nd birthday but ended up keeping it stashed for Christmas (no easy task as I was desperate to break it out) as I started second guessing myself as to whether it was to old for her. Tbh both she and her 4yr old brother absolutely love it and use it all the time. Their favourite use currently is making sea turtles and coral reefs alongside their Wonderie cloth. My son loves to make bugs from it too. The shapes are unusual and so versatile and even if you already have a few Grimms building sets, this will absolutely enhance play. It was quite a big investment but if anyone is wondering if it's worth the outlay, the answer is yes! As with all Grimms the build quality is exceptional and this is truly a piece that will get played with for years to come. It's a very substantial, heavy piece and it's pretty enough to have out displayed on a coffee table or similar. It also comes with a printed layout sheet to put at the bottom of the tray which is super helpful when it comes to putting it away. Grimms have really thought of everything with this one.
Lara is such a beautiful set! My boys and I have been loving creating with it! It's great for mandalas, stacking, small world play and my 4 year old loves putting it back in the tray! The paper insert which comes with it is very helpful for putting the shapes back in the right place!
The Lara building set isn't just a toy but a beautiful piece of artwork too. So far I having mostly been making mandalas but there is so much potential for small world play, flat lays and stacking. I'm so pleased it came with instructions of how to put it all back in the tray otherwise it would have been really tricky. The boys love using it as a puzzle (with the aid of the instructions) and putting all the pieces back for me which is handy.
