Three wooden nins in earthy and warm colour tones. They can be used as a complement to the sets or by themselves.
based on the theory of the loose parts of Simon Nicholson in 1971, we propose a rich play objects, not structured and openended that allows the child to combine, align, carry, transport, stack, classify in different ways.
The loose parts allow children to redesign & reformulate and also can be combined with natural objects to encourage contact with our closest environment.
The loose parts can be used in multiple possibilities. Because there isn't a specific way to use them and there is not a right or wrong way to play with them. All are presented in a range of colours which inspires to connect with nature.

As Grapt produce the bags by hand they can take advantage of them by removing those defects and giving them a second life. The fabrics vary and can not match witht he photos of the products.

Grapat is a small family project that materialized from leaving the city to life in a natural environment. Their toys are inspired by observering their children and others play. Unstructured material, loose parts to inspire free play. Free play allows our children to connect with their deepest desire and develop the activity they need. Grapat propose a material without instcurctions.
Their workshop is structered according to the TEAL philosophy and the work schedule of each employee is adapted to their personal needs. They work in collaboration with foundations that take care of people with psychic difficulties. They help to develop packaging tasks.
Grapat is a small family project that materialized from leaving the city to live in a natural environment. Their toys are inspired by watching their and other children play, the game has something sacred, like a parallel worldlike meditation that is goverend by its own rules and times. They create a safe environment, using natural materials and creations to inspire this imaginative world. A world in there we do not interrupt, we take care of space, we keep silent...
The game in children is like an earthquake that can not be stopped, however much we adults try with all our strength. Free play, loose parts, open and unstructured material startle us daily because it transforms into what they decide and which are the fruit of their internal need.
