Five math friends – Grimm’s

Explore the world of maths and numbers in a playful way with Grimm’s educational toy set of 5 handmade sustainable wooden math friends. Make maths problems visual and incorporate the sense of touch by combining these wooden figures displaying maths symbols with different objects.

Each math friend is decorated with a different math symbol +-:x= and so can be used for learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division happily through play.

The Grimm’s Waldorf-style five math friends are individually hand-painted. They are made from three different types of wood from sustainable forestry, depending on availability – maple wood, beech wood, cherry wood or alder wood. They are painted in lovely pastel tones with non-toxic water based colour stain and measure 6.5cm in height and 3cm in diameter. They come complete with a handy wooden storage tray which has a non-toxic, plant-based oil finish and measures 10cm in length.

About Grimm’s

Ideal for playing with at home, nursery, Waldorf or Steiner school, the beautiful natural wooden Grimm’s toys are crafted according to the Waldorf philosophy which is well-known to encourage children to discover creative play independently, without limitations at an unhurried pace. The wooden Grimm’s toys are coloured by hand with non-toxic water-based paints and are not finished with lacquer to ensure the original characteristics of the wood and the grain shows through. The surface of the FSC certified European wood pieces are left slightly rough making them fully stackable and less slippery.

Grimm’s handmade wooden toys are produced at the Grimm’s facilities in Germany as well as at several workshops across Europe from various types of wood such as alder, lime, beech and maple. All wood used to craft the Grimm’s toys are sourced from sustainably managed European forests.

Please note Grimm’s toys are always one of a kind, carrying unique marks made by nature. Wood grain has changing structures and colours which serve as proof of its natural origins. The unique variations, markings, knots, patterns, black stripes or dark spots that may be visible in the wood of a Grimm’s toy are proof of quality, not defects.
