Carved out of a single block of hardwood, these six Water Waves Nesting Blocks nestle together to create a stacking toy as well as a simple nesting puzzle. This is an inspired, open-ended Waldorf toy designed to stimulate a child's creativity. Pieces can be used as a bridge, hill, fence, see-saw, doll cradle, tunnel, or cozy cave for imaginary playmates. With its timeless design and sturdy construction, this is an heirloom toy that will be cherished for generations. Grimm's Water Waves set was honored with the Spiel Gut Award by the German Design Association's Committee of Games and Toys, which recognizes high quality toys which are also environmentally-friendly. A Waldorf and Montessori playroom essential. Excellent condition! 8.8"L x 2.25"D x 3.5"H Note: Wood is a natural material and as such, has various unique markings. Variations in wood grain, color, knots, texture or dye transfer are all natural occurrences in these hand-stained wooden products. These unique variations and markings are proof of quality, not defects. Enjoy the markings that make your Grimm’s toy unique!
