Grapat 12 Coloured Rings for Perpetual Calendar

The set contains twelve coloured wooden rings, one for each month of the year. The colours match the Grapat Perpetual Calendar Nins, so the rings can mark the current month, and they also pair with the 12 Nins figures for wider colour matching and play.

The rings colour match the calendar's Nins and let you mark the current month. You can follow the colours suggested by Waldorf pedagogy, or simply choose the colour you associate most with each month. This makes the calendar a hands on, seasonal ritual that children can help update.

Each ring measures 4.8 centimetres in diameter. This size is easy for small children to pick up, stack and thread, which makes the set a good first ring toy as well as a companion to the calendar. The twelve colours also support sorting and matching activities.

Yes. Beyond the calendar, the twelve rings make a delightful first ring set for stacking, sorting and colour matching. They pair perfectly with the Grapat 12 Nins, so children can match each figure to its ring, count them out, or use them freely in open play.

Grapat recommends the rings from 18 months and over. Toddlers can stack, sort and match the colours, while older children use them with the calendar or in wider loose parts play. As with all small parts, supervise younger children during play.

Grapat is a small family run workshop in Catalonia, Spain. The rings are made mostly from beech and birch wood sourced locally from sustainable forests, finished with water based, non toxic dyes and vegetable oils, and presented in sustainable eco friendly packaging.

Yes. The twelve colours are made to match the Grapat Perpetual Calendar Nins and the 12 Nins figures, so the rings integrate neatly with those sets. They also work as loose parts alongside other Grapat pieces. Browse more in our Grapat loose parts collection.
