Grapat Dishes

Grapat Dishes are a set of six small wooden plates, each 60mm in diameter. They are made for gathering favourite treasures, whether that is a pile of pretend berries, a collection of colourful shapes, or a special snack for a beloved toy. As open ended pieces they suit setting the table, symbolic play and inventing new play rituals at home.

The set includes six wooden dishes, each measuring 60mm in diameter. This small size suits little play scenes and is easy for children to arrange, carry and sort. Having six dishes means several characters or friends can each have their own, which supports sharing, table setting and cooperative pretend play among siblings or with an adult.

Grapat recommends the dishes for children from 3 years and up. At this age children enjoy symbolic and pretend play, such as preparing food, setting a table and caring for toys. The dishes support these games and can be combined with other loose parts, so they stay useful as children develop more detailed storytelling and role play.

The dishes invite symbolic play, where an object stands in for something else. Children can serve pretend meals, sort small treasures onto each plate, or set the table for toys and friends. This kind of play supports imagination, language and social skills, and because there are no fixed rules children can create their own everyday rituals and stories.

Yes. The dishes pair naturally with other Grapat loose parts such as fruits, coins and nins for pretend cooking, sorting and small world scenes. You can browse the wider Grapat loose parts range to build a set. Combining pieces gives children more ways to serve, gather and tell stories in their play.

The dishes are made for pretend play rather than for holding real food or water. Store them in a dry place and clean them by wiping with a damp cloth, then dry them straight away. They should not be soaked in water, as this can damage the wood. With simple care they last through years of imaginative play.

Yes. The set of six wooden dishes is a versatile gift that fits into many kinds of pretend play, from tea parties to small world scenes. Because they combine with other Grapat pieces, they are easy to add to an existing collection. Their simple, natural look also makes them appealing to display and use in a play kitchen.
