Grimm's Basic Building Set 2

Introducing the Grimm's Basic Building Set 2, a versatile and timeless addition to any child's toy collection. This set features a wide selection of shapes, perfect for sparking creativity in little ones. Each piece is crafted from high-quality, handcrafted wooden materials and neatly stored in a convenient wooden frame for easy organisation. This basic building set is the ideal starter construction kit, as it comes with large and solid parts that can be easily assembled into sturdy and stable structures, such as houses, castles, towers and bridges. As children play, they'll develop important skills such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and spatial thinking, making it both fun and educational. 

 

This set combines wonderfully with all kinds of other building materials, small world toys and Grimm's sets available here at Curious Littles Play.

 

Handcrafted from lime wood, the blocks are finished with non-toxic water based colour stain. Not only aesthetically pleasing, the wood 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.

The Grimm's Basic Building Set 2 contains 46 colourful wood blocks in a wooden frame - ideal for storing and displaying.
