These are the Coins from Grapat: flat wooden discs finished in a rainbow of colours, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red in an equal mix across the set, so each colour has three coins.
The coins are loose parts, and children use them alongside other Grapat pieces or on their own. A child sorts the coins by colour, stacks them into small towers, threads them, or lines them up to make a pattern across the floor. They pair well with Grapat's Nins and rings, extending scenes and stories a child has already begun. Grapat make the coins in Spain from beech that is PEFC certified, and the set has won a Spiel Gut award.
Montessori and Waldorf settings both use loose parts like these for early counting, colour matching and threading work, and the coins fit easily into that kind of open-ended play at home too.
The set suits a 2 years+ child, and it makes a welcome addition at a birthday or as a first introduction to Grapat's range of loose parts.

The Grapat Story: Catalonia based Joguines Grapat was founded by husband and wife team Casiana & Jordi Grapat who were inspired by watching their young daughter play freely with very few, simple toys that she had at her disposal. They realised that when children are given freedom to imagine, they will enter a world of their own creation. Inspired by this experience with their daughter, they started to create wooden toys such as the Nins® (Catalan for 'children'), a beautiful range of traditional Waldorf toy peg dolls, that allow children to play freely without rules or structure, unhindered by pre-determined ideas or games.
