Grapat - 12 Nins

The 12 Nins can be used for symbolic play, to create stories, small worlds and much more!

“Nins” mean “children” in Spanish.  These 12 simple peg dolls are made with love and sustainable materials and form the basis of so many aspects of play, from imaginative and small world play, to story-telling, and to learning through play in counting and sorting.  Their simple and unstructured form allow children to imagine the expression, gender and roles supporting their own emotional development and understanding of the world and people around them.

Handmade from sustainably sourced wood and finished with non-toxic colours, Grapat sets are a perfect addition to imaginative play, role play, creative picture making and story telling. They are perfect for counting and sorting and assisting with mathematical concepts. The possibilities are inspiring.
