Grimm's toys are no relation of the famous Brothers Grimm, but full of fairytale magic nonetheless. There’s a big emphasis on simplicity through all Grimm’s wooden toys, which makes them good to have around for all the family. Instead of paint and varnish, the wood is hand-dipped into the colour stain - non-toxic food dye - and left unfinished. The matte, textured effect this gives greatly extends play possibilities. Constructions built with Grimm's blocks are reassuringly stable as the pieces don't slip against each other. We especially like that their packaging is fully recyclable and can be transformed for imaginative play. Like the box you can turn into a theatre for little figures - two toys for the price of one.

Why we love figures

Explore character

You don't need many animals to have a collection rich in story-telling possibilities - a handful of 'goodies' and a 'baddie' is enough. To maximise play value, choose animals with distinct characters such as foxes, mice and goats. Think of the adventures you could have with a wolf, a lamb, a donkey, an owl and an ox. When combined with regular reading, especially traditional tales, the creative possibilities are endless.
First friends

Peg people occupy a special place in young children's play. With a stability that comes from a wide base and a supremely grippable head, they're perfect for the baby who is learning to grasp and place. Their simple design also makes them a blank canvas on which to paint any personality, great for small world play.
Rehearse real life

Play people are an especially important part of any pre-school toy box. In these characters children recognise themselves and their families and friends. Their play is usually about enacting real-life or imagined scenes - simple scenarios such as being at home in the kitchen or driving along in the car - compounding their understanding of the world and how everyone in it plays a part.
