Grapat Veggies

The set includes twelve hand-painted wooden vegetables in a mix of shapes, such as carrots, tomatoes, and leafy greens. The pieces range in height from about 12mm to 40mm, so there is plenty of variety to chop, sort, and combine. They are open-ended loose parts, which means children decide how to use them in their own games.

Children use them mainly for pretend cooking and symbolic play. They chop, sort, and mix the vegetables to make meals, run a pretend market stall, or set up a family dinner. The set also works for counting, colour sorting, and matching, and it combines well with other Grapat kitchen and loose parts pieces.

The twelve vegetables come in various shapes and sizes, with heights ranging from about 12mm to 40mm. This range gives children small and larger pieces to handle, group, and count. The different sizes also make sorting games more interesting, since children can arrange the vegetables by height, colour, or type.

The maker recommends this set from 3 years and up. Because it includes small pieces, keep it away from children who still put things in their mouths, and stay close during play with the youngest. From age three, children can use the vegetables for pretend cooking, sorting, and counting, which keeps the set useful as their play develops.

Each vegetable is made from wood and painted by hand in bright colours. Because the pieces are hand-painted, small differences in tone and finish between them are normal and part of the handmade look. The rounded wooden shapes are made to be handled, stacked, and sorted during everyday play.

Yes. The wooden vegetables work well alongside other Grapat loose parts, such as bowls, pots, tools, and figures. Bringing sets together lets children build fuller pretend kitchens and market scenes, add more items to sort and count, and keep their games growing.
