Natural free play set, consisting of six little Nins Tomten, 18 little coins and several other little shapes such as beehives, mushrooms, cones and drops. These sets favour creative and divergent thinking. Free play allows our children to connect with their deepest desire and develop the activity they need.
The unstructured and openended play objects do not have a correct or incorrect way to be used, so we work without instuctions. The materials accompany the child in all their learning phases.
The Nins, coins and other pieces are transformed into a symbolic material for the creation of stories and the constuction of small worlds, in addition to serving for mathematical, language and sensory games.
