Description

Grimm’s have translated the Four Temperaments into a language of form and colour. The result is a colourful building set with 61 building blocks in free form. The individual building blocks are reminiscent of animals and various other creatures, and by combining different building elements, something new is always created that will stimulate and inspire the imagination.
The predominant temperament determines the specific mood in which someone usually finds themselves. It influences how we feel and experience life, how we think, act or react.

The Melancholic temperament has a compassionate and rather sad nature. It is BLUE, turning inward into the depths, with edges, curves and endurance – like its element, the Earth.
The Choleric temperament has an active and fiery nature. It is RED, jagged and sometimes sharp-edged. Its impulsiveness belongs to the element of Fire.
The Phlegmatic temperament is steady and content. It is GREEN and still like the surface of a pond. Its curves and soft shapes correspond to its element, Water.
The Sanguine temperament radiates cheerfulness and optimism. It is YELLOW and shines from within, losing itself in the periphery or in the sky. Air is its element.
Through a playful approach to the characteristic features of the temperaments, a feeling for their essence can be developed. Each person is a unique blend of all Four Temperaments.

61 building blocks in wooden frame, incl. paper template in original size.
Materials: lime wood, non-toxic water based color stain/non-toxic plant based oil finish.
Size: frame length 44.5 cm, single blocks 4 cm thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Grimm's Building Set Four Temperaments?

It is a colourful wooden building set of 61 free form blocks that translate the idea of the four temperaments into shape and colour. The individual pieces resemble animals and other creatures, and combining them creates something new each time to stimulate imaginative building.

What do the four colours represent?

Grimm's links each temperament to a colour and element. Blue is the melancholic and reflective nature tied to earth, red is the active, fiery choleric nature, green is the steady, content phlegmatic nature like water, and yellow is the cheerful, optimistic sanguine nature linked to air.

How many pieces are included and what comes with the set?

The set has 61 building blocks held in a wooden frame, and it includes a paper template in the original size. The template can guide children in returning the free form pieces to the frame or in exploring the shapes and colour groupings.

What materials is the set made from?

The blocks are made from lime wood and finished with a non-toxic water based colour stain and a non-toxic plant based oil finish. The natural wood and clear colours suit repeated building, sorting and arranging into new creatures and structures.

What size are the frame and blocks?

The wooden frame measures 44.5 cm in length and the individual blocks are 4 cm thick. The generous frame holds all 61 pieces together for storage, while the thick blocks are stable to stack and easy to handle during floor and table play.

What age is the Four Temperaments set for?

Grimm's recommends this set from five years and up. At this age children can work with the larger number of free form pieces, explore the colour and shape themes, and build more complex creatures and sculptures using the template as a starting point.

Can it be combined with other Grimm's sets?

Yes. The free form blocks mix well with other Grimm's building pieces for larger and more varied constructions. You can explore complementary sets in the Grimm's building and rainbow worlds collection to expand the range of shapes and colours.
