Grimm’s Stacking Boxes Large Pastel

The boxes are made from birch ply and treated with linseed oil. They have had extra sanding to avoid sharp corners and edges, so they feel smooth and rounded. Interestingly, each box makes a different tone when tapped, which adds a simple sound element to the play.

Each box measures 14 x 14 cm, and stacked together they reach a tower height of about 65 cm. The full set weighs around 1500 g. The large scale makes them well suited to stacking, nesting and building on the floor rather than only tabletop play.

Grimm's lists these stacking boxes as suitable from 2 years and up. They are good for stacking and nesting and for sorting games and activities, so children can return to them in different ways as their building and sorting skills develop over time.

Yes. The boxes are a colour match for all of Grimm's pastel coloured building and stacking sets. They combine well with building boards, rainbows and blocks, so you can bring them together with other pastel pieces for larger creative builds.

Children can stack and nest the boxes, sort them by size and use them in building and sorting games. Because each box sounds a different tone when tapped, younger children often enjoy exploring the boxes by sound as well as by building and knocking down towers.

Yes. The pastel boxes work alongside Grimm's building boards, rainbows and blocks for open-ended construction. Browse related pieces in our Grimm's building range at /collections/grimms-building-rainbow-worlds to build out a matching pastel collection.
