Grapat: Creative wooden toys for open play

Grapat is a Catalonian word, translated it means something like "handful". It expresses how we carefully hold small things in our hands. We have to go through everyday life more carefully so that we can also see the inconspicuous and small things. Grapat invites you to change your perspective and enjoy life. Since the birth of their first daughter, the founders had this idea of ​​developing and designing toys. Again and again you observed how your daughter used shelves, drawers and other everyday objects as toys and let her imagination run free while playing. It was therefore important for the parents to develop toys that were as versatile as possible that supported open play and stimulated creativity. Many Grapat products have been awarded the "Spiel Gut" label.
