Grimm’s Building Set Weather

The Building Set Weather is a set of 13 wooden pieces shaped to represent weather. It gives children a tangible, tactile way to explore the idea of weather, so they can bring out sunshine, conjure lightning and thunder, or let snow and rain fall as they play out their own stories.

The set contains 13 wooden pieces. They range from 54 mm up to 210 mm in width and from 60 mm up to 138 mm in height, so the mix of sizes lets children arrange scenes and combine the pieces in different weather stories.

The smooth shapes help stimulate a child's imagination, so weather stories can be experienced and played out as a visual process. Children can build scenes, retell what they see outside, and let the pieces transform the mood of their play from sunshine to storm.

Yes. The versatile weather pieces are matched in shape to all the larger Grimm's pieces, so they combine naturally with an existing set. You can browse compatible wooden pieces at /collections/grimms-building-rainbow-worlds to build fuller scenes.

The set is made from wood in keeping with the natural materials used across the Grimm's range. The smooth shape and feel of the pieces is part of what makes them pleasant to handle and to arrange into weather scenes during play.

Grimm's gives an age group of 3 years and up. The set suits imaginative and storytelling play, and an adult who knows the child is the best judge of readiness, with supervision sensible for younger children handling the smaller pieces.

The pieces are cut from natural wood and finished by hand, so grain and shading vary between them. These small differences are a normal feature of a handmade wooden toy rather than a fault, and they give each set its own character.
