Grapat Mandala Half Spheres

The set contains 36 wooden mandala half spheres, each about 12mm in height. They are open ended loose parts, rounded in shape, and ready to be arranged into mandalas or mixed with other pieces for pattern and small world play.

They are recommended for children aged 3 years and over. As the pieces are small, keep them away from children who still mouth their toys. Older preschool and primary aged children enjoy sorting, counting and building with the half spheres.

The half spheres can be arranged into symmetrical mandala patterns, stacked and balanced, sorted by colour, or counted out for early maths games. Their rounded form also makes them a satisfying tactile piece to add to wider loose parts and small world play.

They are wooden mandala pieces, hand finished so that small differences in colour and grain between them are natural. These variations are part of the handcrafted look rather than faults, and give each set its own individual character.

Yes. They mix well with other Grapat mandala shapes and loose parts, letting children build taller, more detailed designs. You can find matching and contrasting shapes in the /collections/grapat-mandalas collection to grow the set.
