Grimm’s First Threading Game

The set contains 19 wooden coins in two sizes, measuring 30 and 40 mm across and 10 mm thick. Children thread and stack the discs, combining them with Grimm's large and small stacking rolls to increase the range of shapes they can construct. Each coin is smooth and tactile for small fingers to handle.

Grimm's recommends this threading game for children aged 2 years and over. At this stage toddlers are refining their pincer grip and hand eye coordination, so threading the wooden coins and arranging them into simple structures gives useful practice. Because the pieces are small, keep them away from babies who still mouth objects.

Threading the wooden coins asks children to line up a hole with a peg or cord and pull it through, which builds fine motor control, concentration and hand eye coordination. Sorting the discs by size and colour also introduces early counting and pattern making, so the toy gains complexity as your child gains skill.

Yes. The wooden coins are made to work with Grimm's large and small stacking rolls, adding more construction options when the sets are used together. They also mix happily with other open ended Grimm's building pieces, letting children invent their own games. You can see more in our /collections/grimms-stacking-sorting range.

This is an open ended wooden toy from Grimm's, part of their range of tactile natural playthings. The coins are turned from wood and finished so the grain and colour stay visible. As with all Grimm's toys, small natural variations in the timber are part of the handmade character and are not considered faults.

Yes. There is no single correct way to use the coins, so children can thread, stack, sort, count or fold them into pretend games. This open structure encourages imagination and problem solving, and lets the same set stay interesting as a child moves from simple threading to more ambitious building projects.
