Grapat 6 Natural Bowls

The set holds six natural wooden bowls, each measuring roughly 6cm by 3cm. They are kept in natural wood tones rather than dyed colours, showing the grain of the timber. Children can stack them, nest them, fill and empty them, sort objects into them and use them across sensory, counting and small world play.

The bowls invite stacking, sorting, covering and hiding. Toddlers like to fill them with small objects, tip them out and nest them together. Older children use the bowls to sort loose parts, count, serve pretend food in home corner play or build with them in small world scenes. The play becomes more complex as children get older.

The bowls are made from wood, mostly beech and birch sourced locally from sustainable forests in Catalonia, Spain. Being natural, they keep the look and feel of the raw timber. Because each bowl is finished by hand in a small family workshop, small differences in tone and grain are normal and make every piece a little different.

Grapat recommends the natural bowls from 18 months and up. The rounded shape and size suit small hands that are learning to hold, stack and pour. Younger toddlers enjoy filling and emptying, while older children add the bowls to sorting, counting and pretend play. Adult supervision is sensible for very young children who explore with their mouths.

Yes. The natural bowls pair well with coloured Grapat loose parts such as coins, rings, balls and Nins. The plain wood makes a calm backdrop that lets colourful pieces stand out during sorting and small world play. Combining natural and coloured sets gives children more ways to build their own games and stories.

Yes. With no fixed use, the bowls become whatever a child imagines, from nests and boats to cups and treasure stores. This open ended quality supports imagination, fine motor skills and early maths through sorting and counting. Because they suit many ages, the same set stays useful for years as children find new ways to play.
