Grapat English Perpetual Calendar
The Grapat Perpetual Calendar wooden toy set includes 12 Nins® in 12 colours, 1 beech wood bowl, 2 wooden cubes and a circular 4 piece month platform.
Each coloured Nin or peg doll figure represents a month of the year according to Waldorf teachings, with the months written in English in the seasonal platform. Along with the wooden cube the day of the month and the month of the year can be displayed.
As the wheel of the year turns, place each nin of the corresponding month into the bowl in the centre, with each nin taking its turn. This gives children a physical reference point that they can use to connect to the day with and develop and understanding of the passing of time. A perfect addition to a seasonal display or nature table, add natural treasures found on your walks each month to bring the seasons to life. This is a beautiful tactile piece that can also be used for imaginative play.
Recommended for 12+ months. Nins® measure 6cm in 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.
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: positioning schema

Customer Reviews
I bought this to go inside our celebration ring. I’m in love! This is my first time buying Grapat , I’m big Grimms fan but I’m so impressed. The calendar doesn’t fit perfectly inside the ring, there’s maybe a 1cm gap but if you spread the celebration ring out you don’t notice it. The calendar is a slightly lighter shade than the ring but that doesn’t bother me and again it’s not really noticeable it. The nins are the same size as the grimms friends which I love, we can swap them around if we wanted. The quality is great, on par with Grimms.
This is such a gorgeous way to show the passage of time with our little people. Building understanding of months and dates, so fab. We use alongside the 7 moons calendar for a perfect pair ❤️❤️
These are just adorable!
They sit on my dining room table!
Me and my son change the date on them... I generally can't wait for the next day to change the date again
Bought to be a centrepiece in our new house and can't wait to use it!
Got this for my Christmas present (to myself) and its beautiful. The kids love the Nins, a beautiful piece to keep in our family
