Introducing the Grimm's Counter-rotating Stepped Spiral, a captivating and beautifully handcrafted wooden toy for children. This when assembled, this unique set is a tower with two intertwined spiral stairways. The sections of the spiral stairways can be colour matched or mixed up, inspiring creativity during play. Children can use this toy on its own or combined with all kinds of other building materials, small world toys and Grimm's sets available here at Curious Littles Play,  offering endless possibilities for open ended, imaginative play and construction. Build spiral staircases in a palace or small world structures, towers with a steep staircase or marble runs. As they manipulate the pieces, children will develop essential skills such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and spatial thinking.
 
Handcrafted from lime wood and stained using non-toxic, water-based colour, not only aesthetically pleasing, it 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.
