The large Rainbow is really versatile: small children stack, sort and build and as the children get older they will use it as a cradle for dolls, as fence for animals, like a tunnel or bridge for vehicles, as house for dwarfs and dollhouse dolls, build amazing sculptures...
This wonderful wooden rainbow by Grimm's, Spiel and Holz Design is hand crafted in Europe. They base the development of their toys on the philosophy of Waldorf Education. Their wooden toys are designed to help children discover and develop their own creativity and sensory awareness with products that want to be touched again and again which communicate their credo: Joy through colour!
These gorgeous toys are made using alder, lime, maple and cherry wood. Wood is natural, regenerative and stimulates the senses. It has texture, sounds different and smells good. Bacteria cannot reproduce on wood. This all is not true for plastic or metal. All dyes used are water based and are non toxic, as is the natural oil used.
- Size: length 35,5-36,5 cm, height 17-18cm.
- 12 pieces. Materials: lime wood, non-toxic water based color stain.
Why can the rainbow only be stacked in one direction?
Our organically designed Rainbow is hand-sawn from one single piece of wood which requires a lot of experience to do this work free hand. This leads to an asymmetrical construction, resulting in a more pleasant, natural appeal in comparison to using precise, symmetric stencils. Therefore, individual arcs may need to be rotated to obtain a perfect fit! It is exactly what makes our toy so special and each one unique.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH YOUR PURCHASE:
The following are normal characteristics of the Grimm's Rainbow, and are not considered a fault. Please consider these careful before purchasing:
- It is normal for the bows to be varying widths, some may be thicker than others, and some bows may vary in width over the length of the bow.
- Visible grain and knots and both normal characteristic of the rainbow which are cut from a single slice of tree truck. Sometimes the natural grain can be dark and patchy in areas.
- It is normal for the colour staining to have variations, on the inside centre of the rainbow there is often less staining, and there can be areas where the natural oils in the wood cause a speckled or patchy affect to the staining.
- Grimm's use a stain on their wooden toys rather than a lacquer - it is normal for some colour transfer to occur during play. 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 make it possible to build in more ways.
