Grimm's Basic Building Set

Grimm's Basic Building Set

Get back to basics with this building block set, with large, solid wooden shapes that will encourage toddlers to build, balance and get creative. This bumper wooden block set has 30 chunky geometric shapes in a wooden frame that can be put together in an unlimited number of ways to challenge your child's spatial awareness, develop their motor skills and stimulate their creativity. This wooden block set is fantastic on its own or can be combined with other block sets from Grimm's.

The blocks are not varnished, ensuring they will not easily slip off one another when building imaginative constructions. Steiner educators will love this multi-purpose educational toy as it can be used for natural play in a myriad of ways - build houses and toppling towers, use to make patterns or as counting aids and for learning the names of different shapes, or even as ingredients in a play kitchen.

The wooden blocks come in a frame which is handy for storage and travelling with. They are ethically made from sustainably sourced lime wood and stained with water-based colour which allows the grain to show through. The frame measures 44.5cm x 44.5cm and each block is 4cm thick and between 4cm and 24cm in length.

This set is suitable from age 3+. WARNING: Not suitable for under 3 years of age due to small parts.

Sensory play: tripod grip, fine motor skills, spatial thinking

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 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.

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-inspired toys are wonderfully tactile and call on children to play with them.
