Add an element of natural beauty and open-ended play to your child's toy collection with the Grimm's Building Set Stairway, a 19 piece handcrafted wooden construction set made of oiled alder wood. The beautiful and unique grain of the wood makes each piece eye-catching and one-of-a-kind.
 
This set is not just for building stairs, but also acts as an ideal starter construction set, with large and solid parts that can be assembled into sturdy and stable structures reminiscent of castles or medieval cities. Whether your child is building stairways, towers, or fortresses, this set provides endless opportunities for imaginative play and creative construction. Large windows and gate openings are easily created, but also trickier constructions that will challenge older builders. Plus, they'll be developing important skills such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and spatial thinking as they play. 
 
This set combines wonderfully with all kinds of other building materials, small world toys and Grimm's sets available here at Curious Littles Play.
 
Handcrafted from alder wood, the blocks are finished with a plant-based oil that protects the wood and accentuates the natural grain and markings. Not only aesthetically pleasing, the wood stimulates the senses with its texture, sound, and pleasant scent. Unlike plastic or metal, wood has natural antibacterial properties, making it a safe and hygienic choice providing a natural alternative for children to play with and explore. 
 
The outstanding and typical feature of all Grimms toys is the rough yet velvety surface, which is the result of using colour glazes and plant oils that penetrate the wood fibres and leave a lively surface. Especially with building elements, this contributes to greater play value, since the individual wooden pieces do not slip off so easily. All the colour glazes and oils used are harmless, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood, allowing the various markings and grains to show through making each piece unique. 
 
Guided by Waldorf education and other alternative pedagogical approaches, such as Montessori, Grimms design their toys to keep the playing possibilities as open as possible, so that creativity is not restricted, and can develop in new directions. The possible combinations of the individual items are limitless and open up a broad field of infinite playing possibilities. As children's development progresses, they find new ways to play and interact with Grimms wooden toys, making them a perfect companion throughout their childhood.
