The Nins of the forest is a toy which can be used as a symbolic game, to create stories and small worlds. However, combined with other elements, they can be part of mathematical, language and sensorial games, among others. Moreover, this material is not structured, which allows for it to be used in a broad number of ways. The adaptability of these materials contribute to creative and divergent ways of thinking. Many elements in this material are suggestions to create small worlds, miniature scenes that invite children to express and act out stories from their own internal world to the real world. This is done through games, emotions, movement, imagination, etc. The protagonists of the children’s tales and legends are the Nins with a top hat, with or without a hood. The different materials that accompany the ‘Nins’ create scenes where they can live and feel a whole new imaginary world. It contains 6 Nins, 3 Nins with a top hat, 3 small felt sacks, 3 felt hoods, 1 felt circle, 1 semishpere, 1 cone, 3 mushrooms, 3 coins, 2 little bars and 1 big bar. Includes a cloth bag.

The elements of this set allow children to create imaginary Small Worlds. There are no instructions and rules involved. As each object is deliberately not too detailed it allows the child to give it the shape that each of them needs to be able to generate their own story. The coins can be roads or stones, the cones can became trees, the wooden figures can be transformed into magical beings or real people… Contains: 6 Nins® Tomtens (Gnomes), 18 coins, 6 cones, 3 honey combes, 3 fires, 6 mushrooms. Recommended from 3 yrs+   GRAPAT provides materials without instructions. Open-ended, favour free and autonomous play. The only premise is to let children play, slowly, without time limits. We suggest material that encourages, invites and stimulates the creation of several fantastic, realistic and invented little worlds. It is made following traditional processes, in the old way, with thick soft raw materials, natural dyes which let the wood veins be seen and vibrant coloured waxes and oils that slightly shine. The products are painted by hand, homemade, surrounded by land, fire, rivers and many children nearby, who inspire us daily.

The Grapat Perpetual Calendar is an annual manipulative and active calendar that allows the child to touch the year and understand the passage of time through the experience.  Pre-Schoolers and even School Age children often find it hard to understand time, especially when further in the distance.

This is where the Perpetual Calendar can help visualize the time. It is also a fabulous tool to teach the months of the year and seasons in a visual way.
