Grapat Nins - Carla

This game allows for the development of logical-mathematical thinking by classifying, grouping and matching elements though colours and/or shapes. These actions improve hand-eye coordination and motor skills. The rings become a material that can be used to thread, pile up and create different games. The Nins can be used as a symbolic game, to create stories and small worlds. In addition to the first pedagogical proposal, this material can be seen from a versatile perspective, which allows for it to be used in a broad number of ways. The adaptability of these materials contributes to creative and divergent ways of thinking.

Recommended age 3+

Contains: 12 Nins, 72 rings and 36 coins in the colours of the rainbow. Includes a cloth bag.

Material: The wood we use comes from sustainable forests. Grapat uses beech and birch. Wood is the source that inspires us daily. It is robust, soft and hard, it is warm, it sounds good and it smells good.

The dyes are based on water and non-toxic that comply with the European safety regulations of the Toy EN / 71-3: 2014 + A1: 2014 / 2013. Working with dyes and not with acrylic paints allows Grapat to continue having contact with the wood. The dye does not jump from the wood when it falls to the ground or when time passes because it penetrates deep inside the piece. Sometimes it can happen that by an excess of pigments some piece loses some colour when coming in contact with the saliva, no problem, they are absolutely safe and non-toxic.

NEW SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS - As of July 2020, Grapat does not allow the sale and shipping of its products from Canadian sellers to American customers. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Care Instructions:  For care simply use soapy water with a damp cloth for cleaning. Dry immediately. Please do not submerge in water and do NOT use disinfectant or hot water.

GRAPAT provides material without instructions, open-ended and autonomous play. Their only premise is to let children play, slowly, without time limits. Grapat hand crafts materials that encourage, invite and stimulate the creation of invented little worlds. Grapat is made following traditional processes, in the old way, with thick soft raw materials, natural dyes that let the wood veins be seen and vibrant coloured waxes and oils that slightly shine. The products are painted by hand, homemade, surrounded by nature and many children nearby that inspire the makers daily.
