Grimms 7 Friends in 7 Bowls

Suitable from Birth

Seven little friends, each with a bowl of their own. Grimm’s 7 Friends in 7 Bowls starts with a simple game of finding who belongs where. Then the bowls become boats, the friends hop aboard the Grimm’s Bus, and suddenly there’s a whole story to tell.

The 15 wooden pieces are handmade, with hand painted peg dolls and finishes made from non toxic water based colour stain or plant based oil. Each peg doll measures 6.5 cm tall and 3 cm across, and the round frame measures 19 cm in diameter.

Why you’ll love it

• Each friend has a matching bowl, giving children a clear starting point for colour sorting before they invent their own games
• The rounded peg dolls are easy for little hands to lift, carry and settle into place
• The frame keeps the bowls together for matching games, while the separate pieces can be spread out for small world play
• The simple figures leave children free to decide who each friend is and what adventures they’ll have

Perfect for

• Toddlers who enjoy putting things in, taking them out and doing it all again
• Preschoolers who love giving characters names and making up stories
• A birthday gift for children who enjoy wooden toys with more than one way to play

Play Ideas

Grimm’s loves wood because it is a natural material so it always has various markings that show up in our products, making each one unique. Grimm’s toys are always one of a kind, carrying unique marks made by nature. Wood grain has to change structures and colours which serve as proof of its natural origins. The unique variations are proof of quality, not defects.
