Grapat Palos in Tubes are small, hand-crafted wooden sticks designed to spark open-ended play and creativity. Their simplicity makes them a versatile tool for children to explore imagination, storytelling, and small-world play. Each stick can take on any role the child chooses — from roads, fences, or building materials to characters, animals, or abstract shapes — giving children complete freedom to invent and shape their own play experiences.

The set encourages symbolic and narrative play, allowing children to construct stories, environments, and characters entirely of their own making. Combined with other loose parts, Palos can also support mathematical, sensory, and language-based activities, offering endless possibilities for learning through play. Free from fixed shapes or prescribed uses, they promote problem-solving, fine motor development, and creative thinking. Grapat Palos in Tubes are a timeless, adaptable tool that invites children to explore, experiment, and create worlds limited only by their imagination.

It contains: 6 pieces in 6 colors. Sticks that can be goblins, fantastic creatures, trees, animals, or anything else the child imagines, because the open-ended toys give children the chance to become what is necessary according to the game scenario.

About Grapat

Grapat is a family-run toy maker from Catalonia, Spain, creating simple, open-ended wooden play materials that celebrate childhood, imagination, and nature. Founded in 2015, the brand grew from the founders’ experience as parents, observing that children thrive with time, freedom, and thoughtfully chosen materials.

Rooted in a slower, intentional way of life, Grapat designs toys that invite children to explore, invent, and express themselves without instructions or expectations. Wood, warm and alive, is at the heart of every piece, crafted with traditional processes and sustainably sourced European timber, then hand-stained with non-toxic, water-based dyes.

Loved in over 60 countries, Grapat remains personal and hands-on, with local production, fair working conditions, plastic-free packaging, and a philosophy that honours children’s natural creativity and the joy of open-ended play.
