Description
Eighteen little wooden pieces, and not one of them has been told what it is! Brots come in six colours, each fading through three shades, ready to become whatever your child decides — characters in a story, animals in a herd, trees in a forest, or something nobody’s thought of yet.
That openness is exactly what makes them get used so much. A piece that isn’t a horse or a person or a tree can be all three before lunchtime, so the play keeps changing rather than settling into one game.
They’re also one of the few Grapat sets suitable from 10 months, which means they start out as pieces to grasp, mouth, and tip from one container to another, long before the storytelling begins.
Why we love the Grapat Wood Brots:
- Lovely from 10 Months: One of the earliest Grapat sets, with non-toxic dyes that soak into the wood rather than sitting on top.
- 18 Pieces, Six Colours: Each colour fading through three shades, giving plenty to sort, grade, and arrange.
- Whatever Your Child Decides: Characters, animals, trees, or something else entirely, changing from one day to the next.
- Sorting and Gradients Later On: Three tones per colour makes grading light to dark a natural piece of work as your child grows.
What are Grapat Brots used for?
Whatever your child invents. Babies and toddlers grasp them, fill containers, and tip them out again. Older children use them as characters in small world stories, as trees in a landscape, or as counters for sorting and counting. Grapat sends them without instructions, so nothing is decided until your child picks one up.
How do Brots work alongside Nins?
Rather well. Nins have a clear figure shape, so they tend to become the people in a scene, while the Brots fill in around them as animals, trees, or secondary characters. Children who have both end up with a considerably bigger cast to work with.
Eighteen pieces, six colours, and nobody’s decided what any of them are yet!

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. -
