There is a particular quiet that settles over a room when a child is sorting. This Grapat set gives them plenty to sort, with twelve peg dolls, seventy-two rings and thirty-six coins across a full spread of colors, enough for matching and grouping and lining things up in careful rows. When that is done the rings thread onto the dolls or stack into towers, the coins pile and count, and a whole small world tends to appear on the rug. Every piece is cut from sustainable wood and painted by hand in Spain, finished with a natural vegetable oil, and the set stores in a cloth bag at the end of the day.
