Description
Twelve little people, and every family can be found in them! Together brings Nins in three skin tones and four different shapes — narrow, wide, striped, and three small babies — so your child can build the families they actually know, right down to the baby in the middle.
That's what makes this set quietly special. Children reach for the figure that looks like them, then the one that looks like their cousin, their neighbour, their friend at daycare. No instructions come in the box, so who each Nin becomes is entirely up to whoever is playing.
Each piece is hand-stained rather than painted, letting the wood grain show through, and the wood is PEFC-certified from sustainable forests. The finishes are plant-based waxes and oils, which give them that lovely soft sheen and a scent that fades over the first few weeks.
Why we love the Grapat Together Nins:
- Three Skin Tones: Figures that let children build families and communities that reflect the people around them.
- Four Body Shapes: Narrow, wide, and striped Nins at 65mm plus three little 38mm babies, so every family has its own shape.
- Hand-Dyed, Chip-Free Colour: Water-based dyes soak into the wood rather than sitting on top, so colour doesn't flake when dropped.
- Open-Ended from Age 3: No rules and no instructions, so the same twelve pieces get used differently year after year.
Is Grapat worth it?
For most families, yes — though it depends what you're comparing it to. Grapat pieces are hand-stained in a small workshop in Spain using PEFC-certified wood and non-toxic water-based dyes, which is where the cost sits. What earns it back is longevity: a set like this gets sorted and stacked by a three-year-old, built into whole villages by a six-year-old, and still holds up to be handed down. It's the sort of purchase where one open-ended set quietly replaces several single-purpose toys.
How is Together different from other Grapat Nin sets?
Together focuses on people and families, with the skin tones and body shapes at its heart, plus babies you won't find in most sets. Sets like Fancy Nins are about swapping hats and building characters. Many families own both and mix them freely, since all Grapat Nins share the same scale.
Twelve little people, three skin tones, and every family your child can imagine.

About the Brand
Grapat is a family-founded brand that emerged from the simple yet profound realization that children thrive on open-ended play. Established in the serene countryside after the founders observed their own children's imaginative play, Grapat has dedicated itself to creating wooden toys that encourage creativity, freedom, and interaction with the natural world. Their philosophy is deeply rooted in respect for childhood, believing in the power of simple, unstructured play to foster development and imagination.
Handcrafting each piece with care and attention to detail, Grapat uses sustainable materials sourced within the EU, emphasizing eco-friendliness and safety. The toys are brought to life with natural dyes and finished with vegetable-based waxes and oils, highlighting the wood's inherent beauty and ensuring each item is unique and safe for children. This commitment to quality and sustainability reflects Grapat's values of environmental stewardship and the promotion of a slower, more intentional way of life.
At the heart of Grapat's ethos is the belief that toys should serve as tools for play, not dictate it. By offering materials without instructions or imposed limitations, they invite children to create their own stories and games, nurturing their innate ability to innovate. Grapat stands as a testament to the belief that through play, children can explore the world, understand their place within it, and express their individuality freely and creatively. -
