Grimm's Small Rainbow Balls

Discover the endless possibilities of Grimm's Small Rainbow Balls, a set of 12 solid wooden balls designed for open-ended, imaginative, and developmental play. Crafted from sustainably sourced maple wood and finished with non-toxic, water-based colour stains, these cheerful wooden balls are safe, eco-friendly, and perfect for little hands.

The Small Rainbow Balls are the ideal size for a variety of marble runs, bridging the gap between Grimm’s large wooden balls and small wooden marbles. They can be combined with sorting boards to create a 3-D matching puzzle and sorting game, encouraging fine motor skills, hand–eye coordination, spatial awareness, and early problem-solving. Even the youngest children can enjoy exploring colours, shapes, and sequences through play.

As children grow, the Small Rainbow Balls can be paired with Grimm’s Building Rings to create tower-stacking and balance games, helping develop focus, patience, and coordination while inspiring creativity and imagination. Their vibrant colours and natural wood texture also provide rich sensory experiences, a hallmark of Waldorf-inspired toys.

Each ball measures 35mm in diameter, making them easy to handle yet substantial enough for various learning and construction activities. This heirloom-quality set encourages open-ended play, imaginative problem-solving, and joyful screen-free childhoods, making it a perfect 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.
