Grimm’s Buttons Large

Grimm's Buttons Large are wooden buttons in rainbow colours made for threading bracelets and necklaces. They also work with other loose parts for imaginative play, sorting and stacking, so they add colourful, open ended play pieces to a child's collection.

The set comprises 24 wooden buttons in rainbow colouring, made up of 12 small and 12 large buttons, plus 2 cords for threading. The buttons measure 4.5 cm and 6 cm across, so the two sizes give children variety when they thread, sort or stack them.

The buttons are made from maple wood and finished with a non-toxic water based colour stain. Maple gives the buttons a smooth, sturdy feel that stands up to threading and regular handling as children play with them over time.

Children can thread the buttons onto the cords to make bracelets and necklaces, and they can also use them with other loose parts for sorting, stacking and imaginative play. The two included cords make threading activities easy to set up straight away.

Yes. The set includes 2 cords along with the 24 buttons, so children can start threading bracelets and necklaces right away. You can browse more open ended pieces at /collections/grimms-stacking-sorting to add to the loose parts play.

Grimm's gives a recommended age of 3 years and up. Because the set includes cords and smaller pieces, keep it away from younger children and supervise threading play, as an adult who knows the child is the best judge of readiness.

The buttons are cut from natural wood and coloured by hand, so grain and shading vary from button to button. These small differences are a normal feature of a handmade wooden toy rather than a fault, and they give each set its own character.
