Grimm's Building Sets are renowned for their generous size and high quality finish. The wooden blocks have a natural wood feel and are a superior building block material due to their natural "grippiness".
With their newest addition to the Grimm's Building Set Series the Four Temperaments have been translated into a language of form and colour. The result is a colorful building set with 61 building blocks in free form.
The four temperaments are:
The Predominant Temperament
determines the specific mood in which someone usually finds themself. It influences how we feel and experience life, how we think, act or react.
The Melancholic Temperament
has a compassionate and rather sad nature. It is BLUE, turning inward into the depths, with edges, curves and endurance - like its element, the Earth.
The Choleric Temperament
has an active and fiery nature.It is RED, jagged and sometimes sharp-edged. Its impulsiveness belongs to the element of Fire.
The Phlegmatic Temperament
is steady and content. It is GREEN and still like the surface of a pond. Its curves and soft shapes correspond to its
element, Water.
The Sanguine Temperament
radiates cheerfulness and optimism. It is YELLOW and shines from within, losing itself in the periphery or in the sky. Air is its element.
Through a playful approach to the characteristic features of the temperaments an understanding that every person is a unique blend of all Four Temperaments can be achieved.
