Grimm’s Building Rings Pastel

The Building Rings Pastel are wooden rings in soft pastel tones that open up building and stacking play. They are a simple, open ended toy that adds to a loose parts collection, inviting a child to sort, stack and combine the rings with larger or smaller pieces as their imagination leads.

The set contains 12 pastel coloured pairs of wooden rings in two sizes, one measuring 20 mm across and the other 30 mm across. Having two diameters lets children nest, stack and pair the rings in different ways, which adds variety to sorting and building activities.

The rings are made from maple wood finished with a non-toxic colour. Maple gives the rings a smooth, sturdy feel that holds up to regular handling, and the natural material suits stacking, threading and sorting play alongside other wooden loose parts.

Children can stack and balance the rings, sort them by colour or size, and combine them with other loose parts for open ended and imaginative play. Because there is no single right way to use them, the rings support building play that a child directs at their own pace.

No. The Building Rings Pastel do not come with the cotton bag pictured. They are supplied in an environmentally friendly paper bag instead, which keeps the packaging simple while you store the rings in a container of your choosing at home.

Grimm's gives an age group of 3 years and up for this set. Because the set includes smaller rings, keep them away from children who still mouth objects, and browse more open ended pieces at /collections/grimms-stacking-sorting to extend the play.

The rings are cut from natural wood and coloured by hand, so grain and shading vary from ring to ring. These small differences are a normal feature of a handmade wooden toy rather than a flaw, and they give each set its own character.
