Grapat Nins Carla

Ages 18months +

A rainbow of little characters, rings and coins, ready for whatever comes to mind. Grapat Nins Carla brings together 120 wooden pieces in graduated rainbow colours for sorting, stacking, counting and creating stories.

The Nins can become characters in a small world, while the rings and coins form paths, towers, patterns or places to gather. Children can match colours, thread rings onto suitable materials or invent a game with rules of their own.

With tactile wooden shapes and Grapat’s thoughtful open ended design, this collection invites children to explore at their own pace. The included cotton bag keeps the pieces together between discoveries.
