Grapat Treasure Basket with 10 Natural Elements

The set includes ten differently shaped wooden pieces in natural colours, presented together as a collection of open ended treasures. Grapat designs the basket as a starting point for sensory and exploratory play, giving babies and young children a variety of forms to hold, mouth, stack and explore at their own pace.

Grapat recommends the Natural Treasure Basket from 10 months and up. The simple wooden shapes suit the early, sensory stage of play when babies explore objects with their hands and mouth. As always with small parts, keep play supervised and choose any additional items with care when you expand the basket.

Grapat is a small family run workshop in Catalonia, Spain, that makes the pieces mostly from beech and birch wood sourced locally from sustainable forests. The elements are finished with water based, non toxic dyes and vegetable oils, and the whole set arrives in eco friendly, sustainable packaging.

A treasure basket is based on sensory and exploratory games, which are among the first games children play. The wooden shapes invite creative exploration and help develop logical and mathematical thinking. Grapat suggests the set is a starting point you can supplement with safe household items such as silk scarves, cloth, wood and metal objects.

Yes. Grapat intends the ten wooden pieces to be a foundation you build on. You can add other safe small elements from around the home, such as fabric, silk scarves, natural objects and different materials, to keep the basket varied and interesting as your child grows and their curiosity develops.

Yes. The Treasure Basket sits within Grapat's open ended loose parts collection, so the pieces combine well with other Grapat sets. As your child moves beyond the early sensory stage, the same natural elements can join Nins, coins and rings for sorting, counting and small world play.
