The petals platforms play set from the Grapat 2022 Wild collection comprises of 24 wooden petal-shaped toy platforms which can be combined with the Grapat Mandala collection or serve as a base for open-ended and small world play. The petals platform set is part of the Grapat Wild range which stands for “to be free, and play open. And to be whoever you want. It’s exactly who you are meant to be.”
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.
Tactile and very diverse in shapes, each of the natural wooden petals platform measure approximately 28.9 x 9 x 0.9cm each and are crafted entirely from wood. Each item is smooth and pleasant to touch and finished with natural bees wax.
The Grapat petals platform play set is suitable for children aged 18 months and up.
