Grapat Tinker Tray

It is a natural wood tray divided into compartments, made to hold and organise a range of small loose parts at once. The dividers keep different pieces separate, so children can sort and classify the little items they collect and play with. The tray measures about 44 by 29 by 4.5 centimetres.

No. The Grapat loose parts shown in the product images are not included and are sold separately. The tray is made to hold pieces you already own or buy alongside it, such as coins, rings, Nins, mandala pieces or natural treasures. This lets you fill the compartments with whichever materials suit your child's play.

The description recommends it for children aged 3 years and over. At this age children can sort and classify small pieces and enjoy organising their own collections. Because it is used with small loose parts, supervise younger children and keep the pieces away from babies and toddlers who still put things in their mouths.

Grapat draws on the Reggio Emilia idea that order and beauty invite quality play, so the compartments help children present and organise their materials. By sorting elements into sections, children practise classifying by colour, size or type, which supports early maths thinking, fine motor skills and focused, calm play. The tray also makes it easy to offer many materials at once.

Grapat is a small, family run workshop in Catalonia, Spain that makes wooden toys mostly from beech and birch sourced from sustainable forests. The pieces are finished with water based, non toxic dyes and vegetable oils. As the tray is made from natural wood and finished by hand, small differences in grain and tone are normal.

You can fill the sections with Grapat loose parts such as coins, rings, Nins, mandala pieces and mates, or with natural finds like shells, stones and seed pods. Keeping each type in its own compartment makes them easy to see and choose from. You can browse loose parts to pair with it in our /collections/grapat-loose-parts collection.

Wipe it with a dry or lightly damp cloth and avoid soaking, as too much water can affect the natural wood. Let it dry fully before adding pieces back in. Storing it somewhere dry and out of direct heat helps keep the wood in good condition, and keeping sorted pieces inside makes tidy up simple.
