This set invite children to explore shape, size, colour and balance through open ended play. Beautifully simple and surprisingly versatile, Concentric Circles & Rings in pastel colours, from the Grimms Pastel Collection.
The set contains ten wooden circles and ten matching rings, graduating from tiny pieces to a generous 20 cm diameter. Children can match each circle to its corresponding ring, arrange the pieces from smallest to largest, sort by colour or layer them together to create beautiful patterns and designs.
But this is much more than a sorting activity. Stand the rings on their sides and they become arches and balancing elements. Lay them flat to create colourful floor art, faces, flowers and imaginative pictures. Use the solid circles as platforms, stepping stones, roofs or bases within larger constructions and small world scenes.
Their graduating sizes naturally encourage children to experiment with sequence, comparison and spatial relationships, while balancing and arranging the pieces supports fine motor skills and hand eye coordination. Counting the ten circles and ten rings also brings simple early number play naturally into the experience.
Grimm’s designed the pieces to work beautifully with its wider range of open ended play materials. Add wooden figures, animals, building blocks or natural treasures and the circles and rings can become part of an entirely new world each time they are brought out.
Crafted from birch plywood and finished in Grimm’s gentle pastel palette, this is a wonderfully understated set that can move effortlessly between creative, educational and imaginative play.
A beautiful example of how the simplest shapes can offer some of the richest play possibilities.
