The Grimm's Threading Game – Rainbow Buttons is a versatile, hands-on toy designed to develop fine motor skills, hand–eye coordination, and early colour recognition. This engaging game includes 24 wooden buttons in 12 vibrant rainbow colours - 12 small and 12 large - along with two threading cords, providing multiple ways for children to explore, play, and learn. Children can thread the buttons onto cords, stack them, or sort them by size and colour. These activities encourage dexterity, concentration, and pattern-making, while also supporting early mathematical and cognitive skills such as sequencing, matching, and spatial awareness. The tactile, open-ended nature of the toy fosters creativity and imagination, letting children invent their own games and explore freely. Lovingly handcrafted in Germany from sustainable maple wood and stained with non-toxic, water-based dyes, each button maintains the natural wood grain and vibrant colour. Inspired by Waldorf and Montessori principles, this threading game promotes independent, imaginative play and hands-on learning without instructions, so children can experiment safely and creatively. Perfect for children aged 3+, Grimm’s Rainbow Buttons are ideal for quiet table-top play, group activities, or collaborative learning. Whether threaded, stacked, or sorted, these colourful buttons provide hours of engaging, educational play. Size: diameter 4.5 + 6cm. Materials: maple wood, non-toxic water based colour stain. recommendation age: 3+ About Grimm's Grimm's toys are inspired by the principles of Waldorf Steiner and are designed with the intention of helping children discover and develop their own creativity through simplicity of shapes, leaving plenty of room for independent play and imagination.

Please note: as Grimm's uses non-lacquered wood, some paint transfer can occur during play. This is considered normal. Non-lacquered wood has a lovely texture - the rough texture of the stained wood is not only an important tactile sensory experience for children, but those rough surfaces makes it possible to build in many different ways, because the parts do not slide down so easily as the wood surface is still natural and not covered with a layer of bright enamel; however if you are concerned about paint transfer we suggest you purchase another item that is lacquered to be on the safe side.
