Grimm's Assembly Set Ball Run
Introducing the Grimm's Assembly Set Ball Run, a fantastic handcrafted toy that allows kids to build their own ball run, choosing the colours arrangment as they please. Once assembled, using the 4 bells provided or marbles, they can have exciting races in the double spiral runs, challenging each other to see who will be the winner, which is the fastest, and what makes the most noise. This classic toy is not only fun, but it also encourages creativity, problem-solving, and hand-eye coordination in children. After a while, the ball run can be disassembled and arranged in a different colour set-up, so the fun starts again.
Handcrafted from lime wood and stained using non-toxic, water-based colour, not only aesthetically pleasing, it stimulates the senses with its texture, sound, and pleasant scent. Unlike plastic or metal, wood has natural antibacterial properties, making it a safe and hygienic choice providing a natural alternative for children to play with and explore.
The outstanding and typical feature of all Grimms toys is the rough yet velvety surface, which is the result of using colour glazes and plant oils that penetrate the wood fibres and leave a lively surface. Especially with building elements, this contributes to greater play value, since the individual wooden pieces do not slip off so easily. All the colour glazes and oils used are harmless, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood, allowing the various markings and grains to show through making each piece unique.
Guided by Waldorf education and other alternative pedagogical approaches, such as Montessori, Grimms design their toys to keep the playing possibilities as open as possible, so that creativity is not restricted, and can develop in new directions. The possible combinations of the individual items are limitless and open up a broad field of infinite playing possibilities. As children's development progresses, they find new ways to play and interact with Grimms wooden toys, making them a perfect companion throughout their childhood.
