Grapat make these rings in Spain from beech wood that is PEFC certified. The 18 Rings set is a loose parts playset of wooden rings in 6 rainbow colours: purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red, in an equal mix across the six.
Children sort the rings by colour, stack them into towers or arrange them into patterns across the floor. They line them up, post them, group them into sets or mix them in with other Grapat pieces such as the Nins. The rings suit children working through a positioning schema, arranging and rearranging the same pieces into a new little scene each time. Montessori and Waldorf settings use sets like this one for colour matching and early counting, and the rings pair well with a child's own tripod grip as they pick up and place each piece. This set won a Spiel Gut award.
At BeoVERDE, we love that the rings can be a tidy rainbow stack one moment and scattered loose parts spread across a rug the next.

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.
