Grimm’s Rainbow Frames

The set contains six small wooden trays, or frames, each in a different rainbow colour. The brightly coloured trays give children clearly defined little workspaces and can be used together as a rainbow or separately for individual sorting and play activities.

The frames suit many open ended uses. Children can sort objects by colour, hold small rolling elements like beads or balls, or build tiny worlds using sand, stones, pasta or lentils. Each tray keeps loose materials contained within a defined area.

The trays add height and structure to construction. Children can use them as platforms or backdrops within block builds, framing a scene or raising figures and loose parts. Their bright colours also bring an extra layer of colour play to wider building sessions.

Grimm's recommends the frames from three years and up. At this age children can sort, arrange and create small scenes with more independence, and can safely handle the small loose parts such as beads, stones or dried pasta that the trays are often filled with.

Yes. The defined trays help with colour recognition, sorting and early counting as children group and separate objects by colour or type. They also support fine motor control and concentration as children carefully place and rearrange small items within each frame.

The frames pair naturally with Grimm's balls, blocks and other loose parts for combined sorting and small world play. You can find more open ended pieces to fill and surround them in the wider Grimm's collection.
