Grapat's Mandala Flower Petals set comes with 36 little wooden petals. Each petal is about 36mm tall and 14mm in diameter. The Mandala collection encourages kids to create mandalas alone or together. They can also be used to make pictures and representations. With 36 pieces, it's easy to make round creations. These petals can enrich symbolic play, serve as pretend food, or be elements for transportation. As kids grow and enter the concrete learning phase, they can use the petals for counting, lining up, or forming letters. Grapat products are made using traditional processes with locally sourced wood from sustainable forests, certified PEFC 14 - 35 - 00485. Each piece is hand - stained. Sometimes, a single piece may lose a bit of color when in contact with saliva, but they're completely safe and non - toxic. The water - based dyes meet European toy safety regulations EN/71 - 3. The finishes are made with vegetable - based waxes and oils, which may have a strong smell at first but will fade over time. Keep the parts in a dry place. To clean, just wipe with a damp cloth and dry right away. Don't submerge them in water or disinfect them.
How to use: Let your kids create mandalas individually or as a group. They can also make pictures and use them in symbolic play, like pretending they're food or elements to transport. As kids get older, use them for counting, lining up, or making letters.
Things to note: Some pieces may lose a bit of color when in contact with saliva, but this is normal and they're safe. The vegetable - based oils may have a strong smell at first, but it'll get softer with time.
Maintenance advice: Keep the petals in a dry place. When cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Don't put them in water or disinfect them.
