Description
Grapat English Perpetual Calendar
The Grapat Perpetual Calendar wooden toy set includes 12 Nins® in 12 colours, 1 beech wood bowl, 2 wooden cubes and a circular 4 piece month platform.
Each coloured Nin or peg doll figure represents a month of the year according to Waldorf teachings, with the months written in English in the seasonal platform. Along with the wooden cube the day of the month and the month of the year can be displayed.
As the wheel of the year turns, place each nin of the corresponding month into the bowl in the centre, with each nin taking its turn. This gives children a physical reference point that they can use to connect to the day with and develop and understanding of the passing of time. A perfect addition to a seasonal display or nature table, add natural treasures found on your walks each month to bring the seasons to life. This is a beautiful tactile piece that can also be used for imaginative play.
Recommended for 12+ months. Nins® measure 6cm in height. Grapat toys are hand made using natural wood and water based stain. Colours and wood grains vary as does life itself. Over time wood can wear with play.
Please note: due to distribution restrictions we cannot send Grapat toys to addresses outside of the UK and EU.
