Grimm's Small Pastels Balls

Introduce your child to gentle, hands-on play with Grimm's Small Pastels Balls a set of 12 solid wooden balls designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and sensory exploration. Crafted from sustainably sourced maple wood and finished with non-toxic, water-based pastel colours, these eco-friendly balls are safe, durable, and perfect for Waldorf-inspired open-ended play.

The pastel set is perfectly sized for marble runs, bridging the gap between Grimm’s large wooden balls and small wooden marbles. Combined with the Grimm's Pastel Sorting Board, these soft-hued balls become a 3-D colour-matching and sorting puzzle, supporting fine motor skills, hand–eye coordination, spatial awareness, and early problem-solving, while encouraging children to notice subtle colour differences.

As children grow, the pastel balls can be paired with Grimm’s Pastel Building Rings to build towers and balance games, fostering concentration, patience, and imaginative thinking. Their smooth wooden texture and soothing pastel colours also provide rich sensory experiences, inviting little hands to roll, stack, and explore in countless ways.

Each ball measures 35mm in diameter, providing just the right size for play and learning. This heirloom-quality set encourages joyful, screen-free play, imaginative problem-solving, and early developmental growth, making it a beautiful addition to any Waldorf-inspired playroom. FAQ's and more can be found in our Grimm’s Toy Guide.

About Grimm's

Grimm's toys are inspired by the principles of Waldorf Steiner and are designed with the intention of helping children discover and develop their own creativity through simplicity of shapes, leaving plenty of room for independent play and imagination. Inspired by the educational philosophies of Rudolf Steiner, Grimm's puzzles, building sets, and toys are about the rainbow, happy colors, creativity, and the imagination. There are no instructions, and you can do no wrong with a Grimm's toy. Just play, learn, and enjoy.

Please note: as Grimm's uses non-lacquered wood, some paint transfer can occur during play. This is considered normal. Non-lacquered wood has a lovely texture - the rough texture of the stained wood is not only an important tactile sensory experience for children, but those rough surfaces makes it possible to build in many different ways, because the parts do not slide down so easily as the wood surface is still natural and not covered with a layer of bright enamel; however if you are concerned about paint transfer we suggest you purchase another item that is lacquered to be on the safe side.
