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.

My girls can't help but be drawn to these smooth, warm bowls for sensory play, stacking, kitchen play and so on.
Absolutely love these stacking bowls! My FDC children have had endless play opportunities with them. We created a sensory play table. Using oats, small wooden scoops and the stacking bowls. The children were able to use their fine motor skills to scoop, fill, pour- taking about basic math concepts of empty/ full, as well as comparing biggest to smallest and stacking different ways.
They added the Nins & created little homes with them, baths, pools and there is still so many more creative ideas/ ways they can be used! They are so beautiful and the quality of them is gorgeous and will last for years!
Absolutely love the Grimm’s Natural Stacking Bowls! I bought them for my 13 month old and they’ve been a huge hit. (Also been great for my 4 year old too, win)
I love that they’re such an open-ended toy, they have already been used for stacking, nesting, filling and emptying, hiding little treasures, pretend cooking, and even as little hats! It’s amazing how one simple toy can encourage so much creativity and independent play.
The quality is beautiful, with smooth natural wood and a finish that feels made to last for years. I can already see these growing with my child as they find new ways to play. They’re also a lovely addition to our play space.
If you’re looking for a toy that encourages imagination, fine motor skills and will be loved well beyond the baby stage, I highly recommend these. Definitely one of our favourite purchases!
Been eying these off for a while. And they’re even more lovely in real life!
This is a gorgeous pive of material. Our LO is 18mo and loving for now building this up both ways. But I can see how this is going to be used many many different ways for years to come. And after that it will finally be mine 😜
My 2 year old granddaughter loves these bowls teamed with a wooden scoop and some polenta or rice in a small tub she tips and pours for she’s learning about capacity and motor skills and stimulating her senses with very little mess
These bowls look, smell and feel DIVINE! Honestly I wasn’t sure if I was being silly spending this much on bowls but the quality is evident. My 21 month old uses them for stacking, pretend play (we use our Grapat coins as “food”) and recently, rolling. I’m so glad I decided to buy these and have no doubt that they will be used for years to come. I have put away the smallest piece as I was worried about my daughter putting it in her mouth (it’s quite small).
As a foster carer for a range of ages it is amazing to see how versatile these stacking bowls can be! The 18m old I had recently absolutely loved these... stacking in a variety of ways, making drums, finding little objects to store and more....
Beautifully made, received reasonably quickly.
My kids love this! Stacking, sensory tubs, nesting, using in pretend play are just a few things they’ve done with it so far! It’s a favourite with both of them :)
These stacking bowls are smaller than I first thought they’d be, but the size is actually great for my little one’s tiny hands! We love stacking them and knocking them down as well as rolling them around.
My 10 month old absolutely loves knocking over a stacked tower and banging the pieces together to make noise. Will be so versatile as he gets older, definitely an amazing buy.
My 8 month old daughter is loving these nesting bowls, the perfect sizes for her tiny hands to carry. I know they will be treasured for a long time to come!
I brought these for my 6 month old son and he absolutely loves them. They are by far his favourite toy. You will not regret buying them the wood grain is just beautiful!!
These stacking bowls are just gorgeous. My 8mo plays with them daily. So glad we got them early on so I can see her develop on how she plays with them.
We already owned a set of coloured stacking bowls and added these ones to our collection as they are used so often. We build them, hide items in there. Use them for sensory play and in our play kitchen. These are a truely open ended toy. Love!
These are just perfect for me 20 months has used them every day since we got them uses them for stacking and practicing his dexterity with spoon and some rice even using as a scop as wells as his grimms large wooden balls and swirling them around just perfect will be buying another set!
These bowls are lovely. The wood grain is beautiful. Can't wait to see how my daughter uses them.
So gorgeous, smell fantastic
Using them as tree trunks in conjunction with green stacking pebbles!
Mr 2.5 loves these bowls for stacking into a tower, making steps for his nins, to catch balls at the end of a ball run, in his rainbow rice sensory bin for scooping and pouring and to fill with toys for transporting around the house. That is all in the first week of receiving them! I am very pleased with the quality and finish of the bowls.
The smell and quality of these little bowls are amazing, my 1yr old like to knock over the towers I build for him.
We love these bowls and know they’re going to be used in many different ways as the years go by and our children grow and develop new skills. The natural wood look is gorgeous and they smell amazing too! So happy we made this purchase.
Such a simple toy but it is used so much by my 9.5mo and 2.5yo. I was a little unsure how much it would be used but happy to say it was well worth the purchase. My baby particularly likes to clap two bowls together and they make a really beautiful sound!
So pleased to have our stacking bowls arrive promptly from Oskar’s with a lovely handwritten note from Simon. As always, it’s such a delight to open up a Grimm’s product and enjoy the amazing smell of that wood ;) These bowls will be perfect for our sensory play and block play for my 15 month old.
Thank you Simon and team!
Love these stacking bowls - great for tons of different activities not just stacking. I also just love the sound they make and the feel of the natural wood.
We love everything in the natural grimms range and this is no exception! It’s gorgeous to look at as well as lots of fun for miss 11months
THE. MOST. BEAUTIFUL. PRODUCT. EVER! These bowls are stunning! Perfectly made and my 15 month old LOVES stacking them!
This is the favorite of my son! He really like to play with it.
My little ones love these gorgeous bowls! They have used them in so many different ways. The opportunities for play are endless with this beautifully made set.
These bowls are lovely. Have been out on the shelf and played with constantly since we got them in so many different ways.
