Grimm's Figures For Counting & Story Telling
This colourful set of 55 wooden figures is great for children who love to create beautiful play worlds for story telling and can also be used as a maths toy set for learning to count. There are 10 different character types which are great for developing children's counting skills: can you spot one swan, two trees, three caterpillars? Counting comes easily just by playing and the figures can be stacked and used to build with. Ethically made from sustainable lime and stained with non-toxic water based color in a rainbow of colours, these figures are bright and appealing to the senses. Children will love the warm, tactile figures and the wood grain shows through the colour stain. The figures come in a wooden box with a plexiglass cover, making it an ideal toy for taking out and about. Combine with wooden numbers and beads for increased creative learning opportunities.
Steiner educators will love this multi-purpose educational toy as it can be used for natural play in a myriad of ways - build with it, learn to count, tell stories, learn colours, make pretty patterns or use the figures as ingredients in a play kitchen.

Grimm’s educational wooden toys are made in Europe from alder, lime, beech and maple, all sourced from sustainably managed European forests. They are made in handpicked workshops across Europe and coated with natural colours and oils by the Grimm’s team in Germany. All of the paints and lacquer used to finish your lovingly made Grimm’s toy are harmless and enhance the natural beauty of the wood, allowing the grain to shine through.
Grimm’s Toys are inspired by the Waldorf Steiner education movement which advocates learning through thoughtful, creative play at an unhurried pace. Toys play an important part of the learning experience and Waldorf toys are made with natural materials, beautiful and simplistic – the lack of details allow children to fill in the blanks with their imaginations. They can be used in multiple ways in creative play scenarios, rather than being prescriptive. Waldorf-inspired toys are wonderfully tactile and call on children to play with them.
