Grimm’s Buttons Small

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

The set comprises 24 wooden buttons in pastel colouring, plus 2 cords for threading. Each button measures 3 cm across, a size suited to threading and fine motor play for children who are ready to handle the smaller pieces.

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

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

Yes. The set includes 2 cords with the 24 buttons, so children can begin threading bracelets and necklaces straight 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 4 years and up. Because the buttons are small and the set includes cords, 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 differ from button to button. These small variations are normal for a handmade wooden toy and are not a defect, giving each set its own look.
