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.

Customers praised these wooden balls for their "bright colours" and "amazing quality." The size is perfect for little hands yet safe from choking hazards. Shoppers loved using them for ball runs, marble runs, color matching, and imaginative play. One concern: the cardboard packaging is flimsy and easily damaged by children.
- The bright colors and grippy texture make it an absolute must have!
- He literally spends hours rolling them around chasing them as they roll.
- The colours are nice and bright. They have a great feel and very smooth roll.

My 10 month old loves these bright and colourful balls!
Unfortunately so do my dogs who got to them the other day! Great addition to any play, just keep them out of the clutches of any ball-obsessed dogs!
I have a six month old and these are a definite favourite! She loves to suck on them (they are too big too swallow), push them around and knock them off things. They sit well on the grapat rings and grapat natural cups. They also work well for ball runs and my husband and I have been having fun making up simple runs with the Grimm's rainbow and using the balls.
These are the most perfect size for my 2 year old, they are so vibrant and so beautiful. We use them for our ball runs with our rainbow and semis and we also use them for bowling with our “seven friends in cups”
Love the bright colours, the beautiful texture and finish of these large balls. Perfect for my 1yo, who doesn’t try to put them in his mouth. They also fit perfectly in our Hip Kids ball tracker, as an unexpected bonus. Wish they came in a sturdier package than a cardboard egg container as my son has already ripped it in half (to be expected) - I feel like it was part of the fun of the toy for him to put them back inside though so didn’t want to withhold it.
Perfect size for my little one to play with. Nice bright colours and amazing quality, as always.
The balls are a good size and vibrant, they will be a great addition
These are a favourite for both my sons. I was really impressed with the size and quality when we received them. Considering getting a second set in another colour way.
This is the ultimate open ended toy. The bright colors and grippy texture make it an absolute must have!
These rainbow balls would have to be my 1 year old daughter's favorite toy! She plays with them daily, her latest thing is to roll them down her slide.
We thought we had 'lost' the orange ball for 3 days, we turned the house upside down and eventually found it in a drawer! The relief we felt when we found it 😄
All I can say is I never expected a 10 month old to love something so simple so much.
Really useful for marble runs, suitable for 1 onwards I think as they’re not small enough to be eaten!
My nearly 1 year old, loves his rainbow large balls. He literally spends hours rolling them around on our floorboards chasing them as they roll. Their also great for ball runs and apparently they’re also his favourite musical instrument-the click they make when hit together is what he loves! So happy with this product!
These are my two year olds favourite. She pretty much just loves throwing them across the room and laughing at the effect. But we also do a lot of ball runs which she loves too! We use them in our Grapat Mates to make trees for small world play!
Another quality, versatile piece :)
Bought these for my 15 month old little man - and he loves them! They are a great size - definitely too big to be a choking hazard at any age, nice texture, weight and feel. My only wish is he wouldn't throw them quite so hard on the floor - maybe a carpet only toy! Cannot wait to get the cornerstone blocks so we can make ball runs with his LSP.
My daughter (age 1) got these for Christmas and she and my son (age 3.5) love them so much. The size is perfect for her little hands but not small enough to fit in her mouth. The colours and quality is so beautiful. We have used these in ball runs, as pretend cup cakes, for colour matching and as instruments.
The quality of grimms toys really can’t be beaten, and the wooden rainbow balls are the perfect accompaniment to our wooden toy collection. They’re the perfect size for little hands, but still big enough that they aren’t a choking hazard for our 7 month old!
My parcel was lucky to arrive before Christmas although ordering with plenty of time. It was wrapped loosely in cardboard and sent in a plastic post bag, the wooden edge poked through the bag right where the street address was
Other packages I see on the Facebook group come safely packed in boxes but my $250 order didn’t. Very lucky it all arrived in one piece, especially at Christmas time when I didn’t have time for returns
Perfect introduction to a magical rainbow world! My baby just loves to hold these in his hand, roll them down hill and crawl around after them. Safe large sizing and superb quality. Will be so useful with other pieces as baby grows older.
Lovely colour, feel and size. I am sure they will complement and extend our play.
Great size for my 7mo & she can even pick them up. Vibrant colours & amazing sound when paired with our rainbow.
These are beautiful. Colours are divine, weight is perfect and we’ve already used them in a multitude of ways. Thanks Oskar! ❤️
Got this for my son to use in our ball runs. It’s the perfect size (4.5cm) so is not a choking hazard. Gorgeous vibrant colours, solid, perfect weight (not too heavy not too light). Fantastic addition to our collection.
My 1 year old is fascinated by them! She loves the bright colours, the sound they make when banged on the floor and how they roll! I like that she can’t choke on them. A good size for little ones!
These are little people friendly, you can’t choke on these, grasp well, makes lovely sounds when rolling on things. Goes hand in hand with brick and rainbows for interactive game set up for all ages. Roll them down bricks, rainbow ramps, wobble boards. Set up take turns games, skittle rainbow friends, down rainbow tunnels. Lovely addition to our collection for all ages.
Not too heavy. Not too light. Just right. A winner with my 2 year old and with my wife.
A nice addition to our collection. The colours are nice and bright. They have a great feel and very smooth roll.
After struggling to get the rainbow coloured balls for a while I was so excited to receive our package in the mail. They are the perfect size for little hands (I was worried about choking, but you can’t actually fit them in an adult mouth!), my kids love playing with these balls, they use them with ball runs, bowling them at objects, rolling and catching, hiding and collecting them and I often find mr 2 just sitting with one in his hand. Beautiful quality and beautiful craftsmanship.
Who knew a little coloured ball could be so versatile! Starting with a game of bowling, knocking over the nins it’s also been used to attempt ball runs, to roll through tunnels, for nins to jump over.
It’s also been used as ice cream in the stacking bowls.
Defiently a must for starting the grimms collection. Much loved by both my kids and a great, safe size for the younger ones
