Wonderfully tactile, beautifully irregular and completely unique, the Grimm’s Natural Bark Blocks bring the shapes and textures of the natural world into open ended play.
The set contains fifteen individually shaped wooden building blocks, each hand sanded to create smooth edges while preserving the wonderful variations found in the wood. No two blocks are exactly alike, giving children an intriguing collection of forms to stack, balance, arrange and transform.
Their irregular shapes are part of the magic. A block might become a mountain, a house, a boat, a vehicle, an animal or simply the perfect missing piece in an imaginative landscape. Rather than showing children what to build, these natural wooden blocks leave the possibilities entirely open.
The unvarnished surface gives the blocks their wonderfully tactile character and also provides a little natural grip, making them particularly satisfying for stacking and balancing. Grimm’s specifically designed them to encourage children to experiment freely with form, construction and imaginative play.
Add wooden animals, figures, silks or other Grimm’s building materials and the blocks become part of forests, farms, villages and ever changing small worlds.
Made from natural lime wood, each set celebrates the grain, markings, shape and individuality of the tree from which it came.
A beautifully simple Grimm’s classic that brings a little piece of nature into the playroom.
