The Grimm’s Small Sparkling Mandala is a jewel like wooden puzzle and building set, filled with rich colour, beautiful geometric forms and sparkling stones that catch the light as children play. At first glance it is a wonderfully satisfying circular mandala puzzle, with forty four pieces fitting together inside their wooden frame. But, as with the best Grimm’s toys, the real magic begins when the pieces come out. Children can create intricate patterns and pictures, explore symmetry and colour, or use the shapes as open ended building blocks. Arches, towers, windows, doors, steps and decorative details can emerge within castles, palaces and imaginative landscapes, while the sparkling acrylic stones add an almost fairy tale quality to a construction. The combination of tactile lime wood, carefully considered shapes and sparkling elements makes this set particularly lovely for children who enjoy arranging, designing and experimenting. As they build and remake their creations, they naturally explore balance, spatial relationships, pattern and fine motor control. Grimm’s itself describes the set as supporting both fine motor development and spatial thinking. The pieces also combine beautifully with other Grimm’s building materials. Add traditional blocks, rainbows, houses, wooden figures or natural treasures and the mandala becomes part of a much larger imaginative world. Beautiful enough to leave on display, yet designed to be taken apart and played with again and again, this is one of Grimm’s most enchanting creative puzzles.
