Beautifully simple and wonderfully satisfying, the Grimm’s Pastel Sorting Board invites young children to explore colour, matching and arrangement through calm, hands on play.
Twelve colour matched spaces create a natural invitation to sort and discover. Pair the board with Grimm’s Pastel Rainbow Friends or Small Pastel Wooden Balls, placing each piece into its corresponding colour and gradually exploring matching, sequence and pattern through play.
For younger children, the simple action of picking up, positioning and placing each piece offers a lovely first sorting activity. As children grow, the board can become part of more elaborate games involving counting, colour sequences, patterns and collections of favourite loose parts.
The possibilities needn't stop with Grimm’s pieces. Seasonal treasures and carefully chosen natural finds can bring an entirely new character to the board, making it a beautiful starting point for nature inspired play and changing seasonal invitations.
Crafted from alder wood and finished with non toxic plant based oil, the natural grain and warmth of the wood remain beautifully visible. Its understated design provides a calm backdrop for Grimm’s soft pastel colours and allows the objects placed within it to take centre stage.
A beautifully versatile sorting toy that can be rediscovered in different ways as a child grows.
