Timeless Wooden Toys For Open Ended Play & Learning
Grimm’s Wooden Toys are crafted in Germany by a family-owned company dedicated to open-ended play, natural materials and timeless design. Since 1978, they have created sustainably made wooden toys that support creativity, learning and meaningful everyday moments for children and adults alike.
Each piece is designed with simple forms, soft colours and tactile wooden textures that invite children to build, stack and imagine freely. Guided by Waldorf and Montessori principles, Grimm’s toys encourage exploration, problem-solving and imaginative thinking without limits or instructions.
Made from sustainably sourced alder, beech, lime and maple wood, every toy is carefully finished using safe, non-toxic colour stains. Built to last for generations, Grimm’s supports fine motor development, sensory learning and creative confidence through beautifully crafted wooden play.

A lovely addition to the toy shelf. So far they’ve been stacked, knocked over, chewed on and examined at length. Definitely a toy that will have many more uses for many more years.
The craftsmanship is brilliant. I have a two year old granddaughter who already has some items and she loves them. I am giving her these gifts to build on her collection. I’m hoping she will hand them on to her children.
Great set... even my brother was playing with the set I gave his son! Eye-catching and as usual great colours.
This will be my 6 month old Christmas present. Beautiful colours and so happy with the quality. She will love it. Thanks Oskar and team for again great item and great buying experience
Loved by my youngest for stacking and sorting, as well as for my oldest who uses them in imaginary play as pools, ponds, feeding bowls, fairy baths... etc. Will be loved for years to come.
This has made my 10 month olds year. She loves stacking and filling, I know as she grows she will be able to use it for so many different things, I can’t wait to see her imagination turning each little bowl in to something new.
One of the first open-ended toys I bought for my son who is nearly 1. And WOW! I had my doubts, ‘what can a kid do with some coloured bowls?’ I thought, well, apparently the answer to that question is limitless. Stacking them is my favourite, and destroying the stack is his!
We love our Grimms coloured stacking bowls!
The quality of the work is beautiful and a well worth the purchase.
Beautiful wooden bowls, these were our first Grimm's purchase and I'm so happy with them! Lovely customer service :)
These cups are just fantastic, they can stack, hold all sorts of treasures, and be bowls for pretend picnics. Such beautiful workmanship and colours. I'm so glad we have these!
Gorgeous stacking cups for my little man!
Beautiful little bowls. They were smaller than I expected but I’m not disappointed. Again the quality of the product far surpasses any similar item on the market. The largest bowl is probably about the size of a kids breakfast bowl, just deeper. They’re great for colour recognition sorting and stacking. Paired with the grapat loose parts makes for some really good open ended play.
Love them!
Beautiful wooden toy. So many options for play- light enough for my 7 month old to hold. Stunning vibrant colours!
Beautiful!!
Like all the wooden toys Oskar's Wooden Ark has, they are beautiful. Hand crafted to perfection, beautiful to hold and a fantastic first piece if you are starting out with open ended play. The bowls can stack as a tower, nest together, sort by size or colour, hold treasures etc. One of our favourite items for sure :)
We recently received our first Grimms piece, some stacking bowls, and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful quality and all the incredible opportunities for open ended play. The customer service provided was next level, with express shipping and a really lovely handwritten note. We will definitely be returning customers to add to our wooden toy collection. Thank you!
The quality of Grimms toys is that of a really high standard. We have never been disappointed in our purchases of anything Grimms! These stacking bowls provide the kids with endless ideas to include in their play and it's lovely seeing what a little imagination can create, from being used in "restaurant" as tea cups and noodle bowls, to water holes for their Ostheimer animals, dolls baths, towers, wheels and even frisbees when I wasn't watching!!
Such a versatile addition to our toy collection! Gets used most days in our house in so many different ways. Quality is beautiful! There’s just something about the feel of Grimm’s wooden toys that is inspiring!
