„We believe that Playing, Learning and Experiencing is an attitude rather than a matter of age.“

Sven & Elke Grimm

The route is the goal

Confucius taught us this, and this is precisely the point of childlike play.

In our opinion, children's toys are not just about kids being busy, that is, having something to do. 

Above all, it is important to us that they receive toys that are appropriate to their age and development.

Free and unintentional

The imagination of the children should be stimulated and this will help develop the creative potential that can be available to a person throughout their entire life.

When we provide our children with ready-made play and adventure worlds, which are worked out to the smallest detail, we take away the opportunity for them to develop their own creativity.

grimmswoodentoys ➡️ For a deeper dive into free play and its benefits, we recommend our blog article with helpful tips and further information: www.grimms.eu/en/magazin/ (link can also be found in our bio and story) 🌈 Here’s how you can nurture open-ended playtime 🌈 1. SPACE AND TIME: Ensure your child has a safe space and regular, unstructured time to play and explore freely, avoiding an over-packed schedule. 2. TRUST AND SECURITY:Foster trust by giving your child the freedom to experiment, accept occasional messiness, and embrace boredom as a catalyst for creativity and self-awareness. 3. ALONE AND TOGETHER: Support free play in various settings by being an authentic play partner rather than an entertainer, and sometimes just being present to ignite their imagination. 4. PLAY MATERIAL: Offer versatile, open-ended play materials that inspire imagination, favoring quality over quantity, and incorporate everyday objects like blankets and cardboard boxes for creative play. 5. MINIMALISM: Create a stimulating yet uncluttered environment to encourage focused play, provide easy access to materials, and regularly declutter to inspire fresh ideas. ➡️ What are your experiences: What hinders open-ended play, and how do you encourage free play in your children? 📹Videos by @with.marlena

This makes assembly easier⁠! 💡 Tip 2: Especially for the little ones, we recommend storing the blocks in a basket so they can start building right away. This also makes tidying up easier.⁠ ⁠Check out today‘s story where Elke Grimm presents the Counterrotating Stepped Spiral in detail 🙌 ➡️ Did you already know about this set or do you perhaps have it at home?
