Grimm’s Mini Rolling Wheel

It is a small wooden wheel fitted with a bell and wooden beads that make a gentle tinkling sound as it moves. When a baby pushes it, the wheel rolls forward across the floor in front of them. Finished in rainbow colours, it is a tactile first toy for very young children.

Grimm's gives a guide of 0 months and over, so it can be introduced from early babyhood. The rolling action and sound encourage babies to reach, follow and move towards the toy, which supports the transition to crawling. As always, supervise young babies during play with any small toy.

The wheel is made to roll a short way when pushed, which motivates a baby to move after it and helps develop gross motor skills and crawling. The tinkling bell rewards each push with sound, encouraging cause and effect learning, while the beads and shape give plenty of tactile interest for small hands.

The wheel measures about 6 cm in diameter and 9 cm in height, a size suited to a baby learning to grasp and push. It is light enough to move easily across a hard floor, so even a gentle push sets it rolling and keeps a crawling baby engaged and motivated to follow.

Grimm's handcrafts the rolling wheel in Germany using sustainable timbers, finished with non-toxic water based paints and natural oils. Because it is made from natural wood and coloured by hand, small differences between pieces are normal. Grimm's wooden toys are known for their tactile texture and vibrant water colours.

No. The Grimm's pacifier chain is sold separately, so the rolling wheel comes on its own. You can browse more early years pieces in our /collections/grimms-rattles-grasping-toys range if you are looking for grasping and sensory toys to pair with it for a younger baby.
