Grimm's Building Set Stairway

Discover the natural beauty and versatility of Grimm’s Alder Wood Building Set, a striking collection of 19 solid wooden blocks crafted from oiled alder. Each piece showcases the unique character of the wood, from distinctive grain patterns and colour variations to visible annual rings and charming small knotholes. These natural details make every block truly one-of-a-kind, adding a tactile and visual richness to play.

This starter set includes a selection of large, sturdy pieces designed to encourage creative construction. Children can assemble castles, medieval-style cities, or inventive architectural structures, experimenting with windows, gates, and multi-level designs. While simple builds are accessible for younger children, the set also offers challenges for older builders seeking more complex arrangements.

The blocks are compatible with all Grimm’s 4×4 scale sets, allowing them to integrate seamlessly with other large collections such as the Four Elements or Shapes & Colours sets. Finished with certified non-toxic, water-based stains, this set prioritizes safety and sustainability while celebrating the beauty of natural materials. Ideal for imaginative play, skill development, and architectural exploration, the Alder Wood Building Set combines tactile learning with enduring creative fun, inspiring children to explore, build, and create with natural materials in endless combinations.

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.

Warning Small parts. Not for children under 3yrs.
