Wooden figures + wooden animals for children
This collection holds around a hundred wooden figures, most of them painted animals by HOLZWALD. The range goes from the farm with a standing lamb, horse and pig, through the local forest with hedgehog, wild piglet and green woodpecker, all the way to snow leopard, rhino and seahorse. Fantasy figures such as the mermaid, the rainbow unicorn or Maya Fee complete the line-up.
Lifelike animals or open-ended figures?
The animals by HOLZWALD are shaped and painted true to nature: children recognise straight away whether they are holding a hedgehog, a goose or a mother elephant. That invites naming, sorting and re-enacting things they have experienced. GRAPAT takes a completely different approach: the Nins, such as Baby Nins and Fancy Nins, and sets like Red Little Things or Hooray! are simple, colourful shapes with no fixed role. One day they are a family, the next counting material or decoration for a sand cake. Our article on open-ended play explains how this kind of free play works. Two items by Wooden Story and one by Bauspiel round off the range.
Building small worlds
In small-world play, children create miniature scenes: a green cloth becomes a meadow, a few blocks become a stable, and the animals move in. Along the way they tell stories, hand out roles and often stay focused for surprisingly long. You will find the scenery for it among our wooden building blocks.
Single figures make a lovely small gift, so the collection grows a little with every birthday and every Advent calendar.
