Grimm's Building Set Lara

The set comprises 73 coloured wooden blocks arranged in a wooden frame. The pieces are round and elegantly shaped, so children can lift them out and rebuild them in countless arrangements. Because everything stores back inside the frame, tidying up stays simple and the set is easy to carry from room to room or pack away on a shelf.

Young builders can lay flat two dimensional patterns and mandalas, then move on to three dimensional towers, houses, fences and ships. The curved shapes invite experimentation, since each block sits differently depending on how it is combined. This open format lets one child make simple rows while an older sibling attempts taller, more balanced structures.

The blocks are made from lime wood and finished with a non-toxic water based colour stain and a non-toxic plant based oil finish. The grain stays visible under the colour, so each block keeps a natural wooden feel. As the pieces are coloured and finished by hand, small variations in tone are normal and part of the character.

Building and balancing the curved pieces encourages fine motor control and spatial thinking. Children test how far a shape can lean before it topples, which builds patience and planning. Sorting the blocks by colour and matching curves also supports early pattern recognition, all while children play freely rather than following a fixed set of instructions.

The set suits imaginative young builders who enjoy open construction play. Simple stacking works for younger children with help, while the curved geometry and larger builds like ships and houses keep older children engaged. Because there is no single correct outcome, the same set can be revisited over several years as skills grow.

Yes. The rounded pieces mix well with other Grimm's building blocks, rainbows and loose parts, so you can extend a scene with arches, balls or rollers already in your collection. Combining sets gives more colours and shapes to work with and keeps play fresh as children invent larger towns, landscapes and stories.
