As the first store to have discovered & imported GRAPAT toys to Cyprus, we as Meraki Moraki decided to share some of the magic behind this brand.
Grapat is a brand that celebrates the autonomy & imagination of your child.
Being present, and offering daily objects can unlock a world of play. They have expanded on the concept by creating enticing sets & objects made from wood, which would last generations inviting children into a universe of OPEN ENDED FREE PLAY.
Handpainted and made in a european factory these toys are unmatched and toys children cannot get bored of, because every single time, they will present a new desire and game to be unlocked.
The Spanish word grapat means "handful" and its creators want every child to have a free and respectful upbringing filled with open-ended playtimes free of expectations and judgments. The pieces should invite and stimulate your own true sense of creativity. For this, they offer play material without instructions and restrictions. As parents, it is our duty to protect this sacred moment without interfering. We just observe and are present: "Be free, play openly!"
Over time, the wood will develop fine dents and scars and this means it has served its purpose, providing hours of free and open-ended play for children, and we really appreciate it. The "imperfection" of wood makes each piece unique - just like us humans!
Each piece is hand painted; the dyes are water-based and non-toxic.
some pieces may lose color when they come in contact with saliva, but that's perfectly fine as all colors are 100% safe and non-toxic. The elements are finished with vegetable waxes and oils. The oils may have a strong aroma at first, but will mellow over time. Their packaging is completely plastic-free.
Recommended for 36+ months due to small parts.
Bowls measure 6 diameter and 3cm in height. Grapat toys are hand made using natural wood and water based stain.
Colours and wood grains vary as does life itself. Over time wood can wear with play.
Made in Spain
The presentation of the toy is excellent: it is packaged in a nice cardboard box and inside it contains (in addition to the toy) a cloth bag to keep the toy stored and a very inspiring text.
