Grapat Rainbow Brots 18 Pieces

The set contains 18 Brots in 18 different rainbow colour bodies, presented as 6 colours each in 3 varying shades. Each Brot is handcrafted from solid wood and measures about 7cm in height. They are a lovely variation on the classic peg doll, with simple rounded forms that children can hold, sort and arrange in their own play.

Grapat recommends the Rainbow Brots for children from 12 months and up. Because they are open ended wooden pieces, they suit a wide age span, with younger children using them for grasping and simple sorting while older children build stories, families and small worlds. As with any set that includes small parts, keep play supervised for very young children.

These simple wooden figures form the basis of many kinds of play, from imaginative and small world scenes to story telling, counting and sorting. Their unstructured form lets children imagine the expression, gender and roles of each Brot, which supports emotional development and their understanding of the people and world around them.

The Brots are handcrafted from solid wood by a small family run workshop in Catalonia, northern Spain. Grapat sources locally grown sustainable timbers and finishes the pieces with water based dyes. Because each piece is made and coloured by hand, small variations between Brots are part of their character rather than a fault.

Yes. The Rainbow Brots combine well with other Grapat loose parts such as Nins, Wizards, Tomten, Sticks and Bugs. Mixing sets gives children more characters and elements to build larger scenes, sort by colour or size, and extend their stories, so collections grow naturally over time as you add more pieces.

They are described as a lovely variation on the classic peg doll. Like traditional peg dolls, each Brot has a simple standing form with no fixed face, which invites open ended role play. The rainbow colour range also makes them useful for colour matching, sorting and counting activities alongside imaginative play.
