„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 Most children are looking forward to their school days and really enjoy understanding and applying the world of numbers and letters from the ground up. The following areas are of particular interest to seven to nine-year-olds:⁠ ⁠ 🧒 Learning to read and write⁠ 🧒 Learning arithmetic⁠ 🧒 Challenging constructions⁠ ⁠ Understanding three-dimensional construction on paper can be quite challenging. It becomes clearer when children can take matters into their own hands - literally. ⁠ ➡️ Swipe to discover our Montessori activities for 7-9-year-olds 🌈.⁠ Edit: Two item names on the 4th slide are incorrect. They should be „Large Mosaic“ (top left) and „Creative Set Square“ (top right) What are your favourite GRIMM’S materials for Montessori activities?⁠ We would love to hear about your experiences with Montessori and GRIMM‘S in the comments ❤️⁠ #grimmswoodentoys #montessoriactivity #montessoriinspired #montessoriathome

grimmswoodentoys In the preschool age, many children already show initial interest in numbers, letters, and the world we live in. Seize this sensitive phase to quench your child’s thirst for knowledge playfully.⁠ 👦 Deepened interest in the world and stories⁠ 👦 Advanced building⁠ 👦 Learning letters⁠ 👦 Learning numbers⁠ 📚 When they can literally touch the 26 letters, they quickly develop a better sense of them, and the differences between C and G or B and P become clear. An ABC game where the letters can be individually taken out and touched is the ideal play material for little letter enthusiasts.⁠ 🧮 With number-inspired Montessori ideas, you can help your preschooler develop a better sense of numbers and quantities. Start with easy tasks and increase the difficulty only when your child is ready and interested. Everything is possible, but nothing has to!⁠ ⁠ #grimmswoodentoys #montessoriactivity #GrimmsAbcGame #montessoriinspired #montessoriathome #whenlearningmeetsplay #learningthroughplay #grimmswoodenletters #grimmsworldofnumbers #countingwithgrimms #grimmscountingcolour

grimmswoodentoys Try this Montessori shape matching activity with your toddler! 🔴🟦🔶 In kindergarten age, most children are already quite adept at matching shapes and colours. But how about letting your child help create a new game idea? Everything you need is already at home: a sheet of paper, a pencil, and a few differently shaped building blocks. The task is to trace around the blocks with the pencil. After that, put the blocks in a basket. The aim of the game is to match the blocks to the drawn shapes. For this video we used the blocks from our 1001 Nights Building Set. #GrimmsWoodenToys #Montessori
