The Grimm’s Small World Play Down by the Meadow is a beautifully curated open-ended play set inspired by flowers, meadows and nature-based discovery. Presented as a whole little world in one box, it brings together selected Grimm’s pieces for building, storytelling, threading, balancing, decorating and imaginative small world play.
Children can create gentle meadow scenes with a little cottage, wooden friends, flowers, beads, buttons, plates, felt and string. The pieces can become houses, pathways, faces, figures, towers, gardens, picnic scenes, seasonal displays or little worlds filled with treasures found outdoors.
This set is especially rich for fine motor play. The buttons and beads can be threaded, the flower can be used for balancing games, and the holes in the cottage invite decorating with flowers, feathers, leaves or other carefully chosen natural treasures. Children can build worlds, act out stories, make patterns, stack towers, construct simple marble runs and arrange beautiful nature tables.
Grimm’s encourages children to experience a deeper connection with nature through play. This set is a lovely invitation to bring the outside in, using shells, leaves, seed pods, petals or pebbles as part of the play landscape.
Made from colour-varnished lime wood and oiled alder wood, the Small World Play Down by the Meadow has Grimm’s signature warmth, softness and luminous colour. A beautiful starter set for small world play, storytelling, seasonal tables and open-ended creative exploration.
Why we love it
We love Small World Play Down by the Meadow because it feels like a tiny meadow world waiting to be imagined. The cottage, buttons, beads, flower and little friends offer so many gentle play possibilities, from threading and balancing to storytelling and seasonal decorating.
It is especially lovely for children who enjoy collecting natural treasures and weaving them into their play, making each scene feel personal, creative and beautifully connected to the seasons.

Grimm's Wooden Toys
Magic Forest Shop has proudly stocked the full range of the stunning Grimm's wooden toys in the UK since 2012. These splendid wooden toys are all made from sustainably sourced Alder, Beech, Linden and Maple woods.
Lovingly handcrafted in Europe and inspired by the Waldorf and Montessori educational movements these wooden toys are created to give limitless play possibilities. They are perfect natural toys for open ended play, nurturing, inspiring and fostering creativity.
The unique and beautiful feature of all the toys is the velvety-rough surface, perfect for stacking and balancing. This finish is acquired by the use of a non toxic water based colour stain, which penetrates into the wood leaving a rich matte finish thus preserving the natural qualities and natural markings of each unique piece of wood.
