Grimm's Large Stepped Counting Blocks
Introduce the world of numbers and colours with Grimm's Large Stepped Counting Blocks. These handcrafted wooden blocks offer a tactile and visual way for children to learn and explore.
Each number is represented by a different colour of the rainbow, making it easy for little ones to grasp the concept of counting and sequencing. Whilst the different sizes of the blocks make it easy for children to see and compare the numbers, with two small turquoise blocks equivalent in height to one dark green block, and two dark green blocks as high as one yellow block, and so on. This visual representation helps children understand the concept of size and quantity as they stack and play. Then as children progress they can be used for learning basic mathmatics adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.
Not only is this set a great educational toy, they also double up as a building block set. The vibrant colours and various sizes of the blocks make them perfect for building colourful and imaginative constructions and scenes. Their versatility means they can be used on their own or combined with other toys for endless play possibilities.
Made with high-quality, sustainable wood, this versatile set is both environmentally friendly and durable for not only hours, but years of enjoyment, learning and play.
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.
