All 14 Grapat Mandala Set & Tinker Tray

This set brings together 14 different styles of Grapat mandalas along with a wooden tinker tray to hold them. The styles include red flames, orange and green cones, a yellow honeycomb, blue raindrops and coins, a purple egg, pink flowers, grey stones, a brown mushroom, a purple pineapple and blue snowflakes.

Not all at the same time. The tray is a lovely way to present your child with a selection of mandalas and other loose parts for play. If you want to keep every style in one place, a few pieces will still need to be tucked back into their own boxes as well.

It is recommended for children aged 3 years and over. The set contains small parts, so it is not suitable for children under 3 who still mouth their toys. Preschool and primary aged children enjoy the sorting, counting and pattern building that the pieces invite.

Mandala pieces are open ended loose parts. Children arrange them into symmetrical mandala patterns, sort them by colour and shape, count them out, and add them to small world scenes and pictures. There is no single correct way to use them, which keeps play fresh over many years.

They are wooden mandala pieces, hand coloured so that slight differences between individual pieces are natural rather than faults. Each style has its own shape and colour family, which makes sorting and building part of the fun for children as they play.

Yes. They combine well with other Grapat mandalas, rings, coins and small world figures, giving children more to build patterns and stories with. You can see more designs in the /collections/grapat-mandalas collection if you want to extend the set over time.

It is. Building mandalas introduces symmetry and pattern, while sorting and counting the pieces supports early maths in a hands on way. Handling the small pieces also helps develop fine motor skills and hand eye coordination during relaxed, self directed play.
