A play corner needs a few good pieces that will last well past the first birthday, and the Grapat 6 Mates set is exactly that kind of playset. Six small wooden cups, each one called a Mate, sized for little hands to grip, turn and stack.
These Mates are available in a set of six vibrant rainbow colours. The cups invite the exploration: a baby sorts them, stacks them, nests one inside another, or rolls them across the floor to watch them wobble and settle. Older siblings often bring in their Nins or coins and build small scenes around the Mates, turning stacking into storytelling. The set fits naturally into Montessori and Waldorf inspired play, where open-ended materials like these are chosen so a child can return to them again and again and find something different each time.
Grapat make the Mates in Spain from beech that is PEFC certified. Their smooth texture and tactile finish make them a joy to hold, and each one is unique, reflecting the natural beauty of the wood.

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.
