The mandala flower petals play set from the Grapat 2021 simple little things collection comprises of 3 sets of 12 handmade sustainable wooden toy flower petals in three lovely shades of pink. They are part of the Grapat simple little things range which are “toys to be made whatever the child imagines them to be and simple little things that bring us joy, beauty and play.”
Grapat mandalas are small parts which can be applied stand alone in loose parts play or as elements in addition to other small world play toys or kits for children aged 3 years and up. Mandalas invite children to create, and as a popular form of meditation, they are also a great way to increase mindfulness, improve concentration and refine motor skills.
They can also be used to enrich symbolic play, or to practice counting and sorting. These delightful small wooden toys also perfectly serve in role-playing as pretend food for cooking, in a market stall or displayed on Waldorf seasonal and nature tables with objects found on nature walks.
Tactile and brightly coloured, the flower petals measure approximately 1.4cm each and are crafted entirely from wood, and painted by hand in various bright shades of pink. Each item is smooth and pleasant to touch and finished with natural bees wax.
The Grapat Mandala flower petals set is suitable for children aged 36 months and up.

About Grapat
Inspired by the Waldorf pedagogy, the Spanish brand Grapat is well-known for their beautiful wooden toys which are open-ended and favour free and autonomous play. The Grapat philosophy is based on providing open-ended toys that encourage, invite and stimulate creation allowing children to invent their own games and imaginary worlds.
All the wooden Grapat toys are hand-crafted in various workshops in Catalunya, Spain, following traditional processes, with wood derived from sustainable forests and painted by hand with water based dyes. The toys are safe for use by small children as they are non-toxic and comply with the European safety regulations of the directive EN / 71-3: 2014 + A1: 2014 / 2013 regarding toy safety. A large part of the Grapat toys collection carries the prestigious Spielgut® seal.

All Grapat toys are crafted by hand in workshops located in Catalunya, Spain in compliance with the requirements of the SA800 standard.
The Grapat philosophy is natural simplicity combined with a strong accent on social and environmental responsibility, which is reflected in the way the Grapat toys are crafted:
- All wood used for crafting the toys derives from sustainable forests.
- All dyes used are based on water and non-toxic and comply with the European safety regulations of the Toy EN / 71-3: 2014 + A1: 2014 / 2013.
- All of Grapat toys comply with the EN71-1/2/3 safety regulations and have a declaration of conformity.
- Several Grapat toys have been awarded with the Spielgut® seal in 2019.
- Working with dyes and not with acrylic paints allows having contact with the wood and it does not conceal its natural characteristics. The dye does not chip from the wood when it falls to the ground or when time passes because it penetrates deep inside the piece.
- All wood finishes used are either waxes and oils of vegetable origin.
- Each wooden Grapat toy is unique as its crafted and painted by hand.
- The fabric for the storage bags that are included with some of the products are sourced from big companies whom discard material when they find a small defect. Each bag is produced by hand which allows removing those defects and giving the fabric a second life. Hence, the fabrics vary and may not match with those pictured with the products.
- Grapat collaborates with foundations that take care of people with psychic difficulties. Also, family conciliation is made possible by adapting the schedule of each employee to adapt to their personal needs.
Care instructions:
To ensure longevity of each Grapat toy, storage in a dry place is strongly recommended as humidity may cause mould to form on the wood.
The toys can be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth and have to be dried immediately. Do not submerge in water or use disinfectant.
