Grapat 12 Nins – Wooden Toys

“Nins” mean “children” in Spanish.  These 12 simple peg dolls are made with love and sustainable materials and form the basis of so many aspects of play, from imaginative and small world play, to story-telling, and to learning through play in counting and sorting.  Their simple and unstructured form allow children to imagine the expression, gender and roles supporting their own emotional development and understanding of the world and people around them.

Grapat Toys is a small family run business in the beautiful region of Catalonia in northern Spain, the passion of owners Casiana and Jordi.  Made with the greatest love, care and attention to detail, Grapat toys are known for their loose parts which encourage children to play and discover freely using their own imagination.  Inspired by Waldorf principles, Grapat toys reflect the beauty of the earth and are made from locally-sourced sustainable timbers and finished with water-based dyes.  Grapat use all recycled and sustainable materials in their packaging.
