Building blocks at home and in the Waldorf kindergarten

Wooden toys have a special place in the Waldorf kindergarten. According to the findings of Waldorf education, toys made of wood have a stimulating effect on the children in terms of colour and shape, but do not overstimulate them. Therefore, wooden building blocks, for example, are ideal for free play at home and in the Waldorf kindergarten. In our online shop you will find wooden building blocks from well-known brands.

Building blocks from Grimms

Grimm's is a sustainably operating wood manufacturer from the Swabian Alb. The company produces natural, safe and high-quality toys from the wood of alder, lime, beech and maple trees.
