Grapat toys came into our lives three years ago, and I am so happy they did. We were living in London, my son had just been born, and my daughter was three years old when we had been gifted the Grimms Rainbow. So I started researching open-ended wooden toys, and I saw Grapat coins, rings, […]
Is your little one obsessed with race cars? Does he create roads everywhere? Then he’s just like mine 😅. I always carry cars in my bag just in case, and his favorite thing to do when he comes home from school is to get his Waytoplay Grand Prix set and build a new race track
Connetix tiles are a wonderful and versatile open-ended toy that will blow you away. At least they did for us! They are beautiful and clear and at the same time very strong. It’s fascinating to see how they captivate children’s attention, and they will invite them to play with them for hours and days. You

Elephants are some of the most amazing animals on our planet. They are native from Asia and Africa and are the largest land mammals weighing up to 9 tons (like three orcas, five hippos, or nine rhinos). These magnificent animals have been celebrated in many cultures as a symbol of strength, wisdom, and good luck.
Stacking has been a favorite activity in our household for some years now. I believe it truly started with the Grimm’s Rainbow. Of course, we had stacked some cubes before that, but we hadn’t discovered or tapped the potential of open-ended and wooden toys. So, I’ve put together a list of our wooden stacking toys,

December is the beginning of that wonderfully magical time of year: Christmas. It’s the only month when it just feels right to read any of these Christmas books for kids. Because let’s face it. It feels a bit strange to read about the Grinch, Santa Claus, or Father Christmas any other month of the year.
I find peg dolls are lovely, and I wanted to try to make them, but at the same time, I felt overwhelmed and scared to try. I love drawing, but I am not an expert with a paintbrush and can’t do intricate details. But one day, I decided to give it a shot and bought

I had been seeing it on Instagram lately, and they had caught my attention because of their simplicity and versatility. This open-ended natural wooden toy is fantastic.

Bears are some of the most popular animals among kids. I guess it is because almost every child has a teddy bear they love to cuddle and give them company each night. They are strong and brave, and sweet, and kind. They make us feel protected, and they are a great friend to have around.

The first time I laid eyes on the Lola set, I was mesmerized. It is wonderful. The wood, the simple shapes, and the vibrant colors are lovely. It’s beautiful to the eyes and fantastic to the touch. We had been playing with Grapat toys and loose parts for some time, and we couldn’t wait to
Grapat loose parts are a great resource for open-ended play. If you are unfamiliar with them, you may probably think, “And what do you do with them?”. Well, I hope I’ll be able to answer by showing you all the ways we’ve come up with playing during the past years. Loose parts play is a
