Grimm's giant building blocks are easy for small hands to build with thanks to their larger-than-average surface area. They're also great for outdoor play as they stay steady on uneven surfaces. The large arches are especially pleasing for car chases and fairytail pony rides. Comprises 19 pieces made from lime wood, with non-toxic finish.
Dimensions: 21 x 7 x 7 cm

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 blocks

Spatial awareness

Like puzzle pieces, blocks fit together. Unlike puzzle pieces, they can do so in a variety of ways. Learning to predict what fits where is the work of many years. Which pieces will I need? Do I have enough? The expert can see simply by turning the blocks over in her mind.
Small world play

Is your castle missing a section of wall? Does your railway need a tunnel? Never fear! Here is your humble set of blocks to the rescue. Infinitely versatile, blocks provide the canvas upon which to paint your stories.
Pattern-making

Red, blue, red, blue; big, small, big, small. So much of early mathematical thinking is about making patterns. Can you see how it's a small skip from here to odds and evens or the two-times table? A set of blocks like the one above can even illustrate a number's relative size and how it can be combined to make ten.
