Introducing the Grimm's Natural Beads Grasper, the perfect handcrafted wooden baby toy for even the littlest hands! Suitable from birth, it features twelve wooden beads tightly strung together with a strong heavyweight elastic, allowing babies to roll the beads over each other, twist, turn and jiggle with joy. The beads are made from maple, cherry, and beech wood, coated with a non-toxic, plant-based oil finish, making it safe for mouthing and teething.
 
Not only aesthetically pleasing, it offers a range of sensory experiences. Made from natural wood, the beads showcase unique grain patterns, varying shades, hardness and weights, with a distinct surface that feels warm in little hands, with a 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.
 
It is a great size for out and about entertainment and would make a wonderful baby shower, new baby or 1st birthday gift.
 
The outstanding and typical feature of all Grimms toys is the textured 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.
