Suitable from birth, the Grimm's Smooth Heart is a beautifully handcrafted wooden toy designed for grasping or use as a teething ring for babies. 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.
 
Ideal for combining with a play silk, this heart grasper brings delight to small children as they discover different textures, while older children can use it to create movement along the silk.
 
Made from alder tree wood, each heart has a unique structure and is finished with a plant-based oil that protects the wood and accentuates the natural grain and markings.
 
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.
