Grapat Palos, also known as Sticks, are a set of 18 wooden pieces in six colors that fade across three shades, designed to encourage open-ended, imaginative play. Simple and versatile, each stick can become anything the child imagines — goblins, magical creatures, trees, animals, or other characters — adapting to the story or scenario they are creating.

These “games without instructions” foster creativity, symbolic play, and narrative development, allowing children to invent small worlds entirely of their own design. Free from eyes, faces, or gender, Palos give children complete freedom to decide each character’s role and story.

Aligned with Grapat’s values of slow, conscious living, connection to nature, and celebrating childhood, Palos are crafted to be simple yet magical. They can also be combined with other materials to support mathematical, language, and sensory play, making them a timeless, flexible tool for child-led exploration, problem-solving, and the limitless possibilities of imaginative play. 7cm tall.

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.
