Creative toys for children: sand play, play dough, puzzles + building
Kreativ + Entdecken brings together play materials that children set in motion themselves: they pour, knead, piece together, build and look closely. The largest ranges are the sand and sensory toys from GRENNN, the puzzles, games, stickers and tattoos from Londji and the building blocks from Bauspiel. Alongside these you will find play dough from Noonchi Organics, wooden vehicles from Holler Poller and wooden toys from Wooden Story.
Sand and sensory play: pouring, sieving, cutting shapes
GRENNN covers almost everything needed for playing with sand, play rice or Magic Sand: Mandigo play bowls in different shapes and colours, sieves with round holes or a star, 'Wave' play scoops, cutters from dinosaurs to ice lollies, plus tweezers and a sorting tray. If you want to set up a corner for pouring and sorting, you will find the full range under sensory toys. The play rice mixes come in colours such as Pastell, Wald and Pink Flower Mix.
Puzzles, games and little things to create with
Londji offers illustrated puzzles such as the My Colours Puzzle, games like the Roads Game, sticker sets (Space, Sea, My City) and tattoos with motifs ranging from jungle to unicorn. For more to piece together, browse our puzzles; the small motifs to stick on are gathered under stickers + tattoos. For building projects, the Luminous Blocks from Bauspiel and the Loggos wooden blocks can be stacked and combined freely. Our guide to open-ended play explains why materials without a fixed way of playing stay interesting for so long.
