Grimms wooden puzzles, blocks and toys are heirloom quality toys, that children want to touch and feel over and over again. Grimm’s toys are designed to challenge toddlers and children to think and use their imagination.

Almost all their building blocks are sanded individually by hand to ensure a quality finish with no sharp edges or corners. They are lovingly made and have an incredible commitment to quality and safety.

What do they stand for?

Grimms’ goal is to develop long-lasting toys for all ages. They use simple shapes, beautiful coloring and inviting surfaces in order to encourage play. They believe in “joy through color“.

What are their intentions?

Grimm’s strives to help children discover and develop their own creativity. They create beautiful and decorative wooden products for celebrating annual rituals and holidays. Along with stimulating and developing the minds of children, they also invited adults to get away from it all by offering products that break through ordinary logical, linear thinking.

Materials

Grimm’s mainly uses alder, lime, maple and cherry wood. Wood is natural, regenerative and stimulates the senses with texture, color and even smell. Bacteria cannot reproduce on wood which makes it great for baby toys. If it breaks, it can easily be fixed or recycled.

Colors and oils

All dyes used are water based and in accordance with EN 71 safety standards. They are non-toxic and suitable for childrens toys. The same holds true for the natural oil used as well.

Products

Grimm’s has a variety of products ranging from building blocks to puzzles to table decorations.

Building Blocks

Grimm’s Stepped Counting Blocks are made for building with play in mind. Creating different things, experiencing the difference in size, learning the correct order of the rainbow and the feeling for the colors. Children of all ages will be able to appreciate these wonderful blocks.

Candles and more

A wooden birthday ring is a very special European tradition that is personalized with wooden figures and candles. It is a tradition that children enjoy tremendously and one that will create special memories to be cherished for as long as they live. This age old European tradition is a symbolic way to celebreate the anniversary of your child’s birth and show reverence for each year of their life thus far. They also make wonderful seasonal table decorations for the rest of the year.

The annual ring is a fun, interactive calendar for the family. Each segment represents one month. Each week, a candle or marble moves one hole further. A figure can be placed in the inside hole and something relating to the month, a birthday gift, or a large candle in the bowl.
