Sticks that can be goblins, fantastic creatures, trees, animals, or anything else the child imagines, because the open-ended toys give children the chance to become what is necessary according to the game scenario. We named this kind of play object as games without instructions. This favours open-ended play due to the versatility of the material.
Age Recommendation: 3+
Contains: 18 pieces in 6 colours that degrade into 3 ranges.
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.
