Grapat Baby Nins Dark

The set contains six miniature Nins with dark heads, each in a different soft colour from a lighter range than the basic Nins, together with one coconut shell. The small figures and the shell arrive as open-ended pieces, so children decide how to use them in their play rather than following fixed rules.

Grapat recommends this set from around 36 months, or 3 years. The Nins are small loose parts, so they are best kept away from younger children who still put objects in their mouths. From age 3, children use the little figures for storytelling, family play and sorting by colour.

The Baby Nins are smaller than the classic Nins, which lets children set up play where different generations appear together, such as babies alongside larger figures. The coconut shell becomes a cradle, bed or container, or anything else a child imagines. As open-ended pieces, the set follows the child's own stories and ideas.

The Nins are made from solid wood and finished with water-based, non-toxic colours, and the set includes a natural coconut shell. Grapat is a small family-run workshop in Catalonia, Spain, using timber that is mostly beech and birch from local sustainable forests. Each piece is coloured by hand, so slight differences are normal.

The coconut shell is a natural container that holds and gathers the little Nins. Children often use it as a bassinet, bed or bowl, but it can become whatever the play needs, from a boat to a hiding place. It adds a natural, open-ended element that works alongside the six figures.

Yes. The Baby Nins are made to sit alongside the classic Nins, and being smaller they help show different generations in a family scene. They also mix with other Grapat loose parts such as houses, rings and mandala pieces. You can browse more in our /collections/grapat-nins-bowls.
