Grapat Seasons Round Platform

It is a round wooden base measuring 40cm in diameter. It can extend the Grapat Perpetual Calendar by adding a seasons element in line with the months of the year, act as a base for learning about the seasons, or be turned over as a plain play base.

You can use it in several ways: as an addition to the perpetual calendar showing the seasons, as a base for teaching the year and its seasons at home, or flipped over as a natural play base and a blank canvas for building mandalas and small worlds.

The recommended age is 12 months and over. The platform itself is a large single base rather than a set of small parts, so it suits younger children as a play surface, while older children use it with the perpetual calendar and mandala pieces.

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

Yes. The platform is made to sit alongside the perpetual calendar, adding a seasons ring that matches the months of the year. Together they help children connect the passing months with the changing seasons, making the abstract idea of time easier to picture.

Yes. Turn the platform over and the plain side becomes a natural base or blank canvas for building mandalas and arranging loose parts. The round shape lends itself to symmetrical patterns. It pairs well with sets from our Grapat loose parts collection.

Wipe the platform with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Do not soak it in water, as this can warp or mark the wood. Store it flat in a dry place away from direct heat to keep the surface true and the finish intact.
