Perfect for inspiring imaginations, the Grimm's Building World Desert Sand is a vibrant 28-piece building set with an exciting variety of shapes and details, including staircases, two friends, archways, and a mountable, movable door. Rich yellow, orange and red tones mixed with natural wood give this set a deep warmth, superb for sparking creativity in children to build and explore their own far away worlds. This set combines wonderfully with all kinds of other building materials, small world toys and Grimm's sets available here at Curious Littles Play, opening even more possibilities  for open ended play.
 
Handcrafted from solid wood, non-toxic water based colour stain and plant based oil, not only is this set aesthetically pleasing, it stimulates the senses with its texture, sound, and pleasant scent. 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.
