Description
Six wooden bowls, one in every colour — and they’re about to be filled with everything your child can find. Pebbles, buttons, pretend food, mandala pieces, the odd dried pasta shell: bowls are the loose part that holds all the other loose parts.
That’s what makes this small set work so hard. Six matching bowls in six colours turn into sorting trays the moment they’re set out — one colour per bowl, and a child will happily work through a whole basket of pieces getting it right. Then the game changes and they’re cooking pots, a tea set, or homes for small figures.
Each bowl is hand-dyed with water-based colour that soaks into the beech and birch, so the wood grain shows through and no two are quite the same.
Why we love the Grapat Wood Coloured Bowls:
- Six Colours to Sort Into: A bowl for each colour, which turns tidying loose parts into an absorbing activity of its own.
- Holds Everything: Treasures, pretend food, counters, and found objects all end up in them, in every kind of play.
- A Small Set to Start With: Six pieces make a gentle, affordable entry into Grapat if you’re new to the range.
- Hand-Dyed, Non-Toxic Colour, Age 3+: Water-based dyes on sustainably sourced wood, soaking in rather than sitting on top.
How are these different from the Nest Bowls?
Size and quantity. This set is six bowls, all the same size, one in each colour — simple and ideal for colour sorting. The Nest Bowls set has 24 bowls across four graduated sizes in six colours, so it adds nesting and stacking, and sorting by size as well as shade.
What’s the best way to introduce loose parts play?
Start small and leave it open. Put a few bowls out with a handful of natural objects — acorns, stones, buttons — and say nothing about what to do. Children almost always begin sorting, and from there the play develops on its own. Adding a second material later keeps it fresh without overwhelming them.
Six little bowls, waiting to be filled with whatever today brings!

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. -
