Grapat Nins Tomten are open-ended wooden figures designed to spark creativity and imaginative play. Each piece invites children to invent their own small worlds, transforming cones into trees, coins into roads or stones, and figures into magical beings, animals, or everyday characters. There are no instructions, rules, or predetermined uses — children decide how to shape, combine, and animate each element according to their own imagination.
The Nins encourage symbolic play, storytelling, and narrative development, allowing children to create rich, personal universes. When paired with other materials, they can also support mathematical, language, and sensory activities, while remaining entirely flexible and unstructured. Free from eyes, faces, or gender markers, the Nins give children full agency over the stories they tell and the roles they inhabit, whether a pirate, a wizard, or a forest creature.
They are a timeless tool for open-ended exploration, supporting creativity, problem-solving, and the endless possibilities of imaginative play.
It contains: 6 Nins® Tomtens, 18 coins, 6 cones, 3 honey comb, 3 fires, 6 mushrooms.

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.
