Grimm's 12 Pastel Friends

The Grimm’s 12 Pastel Rainbow Friends are a delightful collection of hand-painted wooden figures designed to inspire imaginative play and creative storytelling. Each figure is crafted from sustainably sourced European woods—maple, beech, cherry, or alder—highlighting natural wood grains and soft pastel shades. Gender-neutral and with neutral expressions, these figures invite children to assign moods and personalities freely, fostering open-ended narrative play and encouraging independent exploration.

The twelve pastel friends offer countless opportunities for creative and educational play. Children can explore soft colour sorting, combine them with seasonal displays, or use them to represent the months of the year or days of the week in a playful, flexible way. These gentle-toned figures also complement Grimm’s Large Rainbow sets, sparking imaginative scenarios, stacking games, and storytelling adventures. For mobile play, each figure fits perfectly in Grimm’s Bus, allowing up to three passengers to embark on playful journeys that encourage curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning.

Measuring 6.5 cm high and 3 cm in diameter, each figure is finished with non-toxic water-based colour stains and plant-based oils, keeping the natural wood texture intact. With their harmonious pastel palette, tactile feel, and versatile design, these Rainbow Friends support sensory development, colour recognition, and imaginative play in a calm, inspiring way.
