Add a playful touch to creative and educational play with the Grapat Mandala Pineapples set. This collection includes 36 wooden pieces shaped like miniature pineapples, hand-painted in three vibrant shades of purple using eco-friendly, non-toxic paints. Smooth and tactile, they are perfect for little hands and open-ended exploration.

These versatile pieces encourage imaginative storytelling and sensory engagement. Children can use them to create flower meadows, underwater scenes, playful insects, or any other small world landscapes they imagine. Their unique shape and rich colours also make them ideal for arranging into circular mandala patterns, supporting focus, symmetry awareness, and mindful creativity.

Perfect for Montessori style activities, the pineapples can be used for counting, sorting, grouping, and pattern-making. They provide a hands-on way to explore early maths concepts like sequencing, simple multiplication, and division while fostering concentration and problem-solving skills.

Crafted from sustainably sourced wood and coloured with child-safe water-based paints, this durable set is designed to grow with your child’s imagination, offering endless opportunities for creative play, artistic exploration, and mindful learning.

Grapat Mandala Pieces are designed to encourage mindful, open-ended play through exploration, pattern-making, and creative expression. Rooted in the idea that play is a child’s natural form of learning, these pieces invite children to explore balance, symmetry, color, and spatial relationships while constructing intricate arrangements or freeform designs. The simplicity of the wooden shapes allows the child’s imagination to lead, rather than prescribing outcomes, supporting symbolic play, storytelling, and small-world creation.

The Mandala pieces foster concentration, patience, and fine motor skills, while also offering opportunities for problem-solving, pattern recognition, and sensory engagement. Their unstructured nature allows them to be combined with other loose parts, encouraging experimentation and endless variation. By giving children the freedom to create, rearrange, and reinterpret the shapes, Grapat Mandala Pieces support not only artistic expression but also cognitive, emotional, and social development.

They are a timeless tool for slow, intentional, and child-led play.
