This beautifully-made set of wooden marbles is a perfect toy for every family since marbles have so many uses! They're wonderfully tactile, with bold, bright colors, and they encourage the development of motor skills. No doubt children will come up with all kinds of activities they can be used for when the creativity starts flowing. They provide opportunities for children to learn colors and to practice counting and sorting. Both older and younger children will enjoy playing classic marble games, inventing their own new ones, or discovering all the ways marbles blend perfectly with block play. Each marble is shaped from solid wood, then hand dyed with certified non-toxic, water based stains and finally finished with food-grade natural oils. All of dyes/stains are water based and in accordance with stringent European standard EN 71, are harmless to your health and suitable for children toys. Recommended age: 3 years & up due to choking hazard. About Grimm's: Inspired by the educational philosophies of Rudolf Steiner (known as "Waldorf" education in the USA), Grimm's Spiel & Holz Design creates heirloom-quality puzzles, building sets, dolls, vehicles, baby toys and more. Parents love Grimm's because designs by this German company advance creativity, leaving room for independent play through simple shapes and vibrant, rainbow colors. Grimm's intent is to develop long-lasting toys that help children discover and develop their own creativity. There are no instructions, and you can do no wrong with a Grimm's toy. Just play, imagine, learn, and enjoy. Note about Grimm's colors: You may notice some color transference on the wood. This is not considered a defect as the pieces are unlacquered in order to preserve the natural feel of the wood (which is in line with Grimm's aim to design toys according to principles of Waldorf and Montessori education).
