Explore the rhythm of the year with the Grapat Perpetual Calendar, a beautifully crafted wooden calendar designed to help children understand months, seasons, and the flow of time through hands-on, sensory play. Inspired by Waldorf pedagogy, this set includes 12 colourful Nins®, each representing a month of the year, a natural beech wood bowl, two date cubes, and a four-section wooden base that marks the changing seasons.
Children can actively build the date each day, rotate Nins® as the months pass, and explore seasonal colour themes — creating a joyful, tactile way to learn about time.
Handmade by Joguines Grapat, a family-run brand beloved worldwide for its open-ended, nature-inspired wooden toys, this calendar reflects their commitment to slow play, creativity, and sustainability. Each piece is unique, crafted from natural materials and finished with safe, non-toxic paints.
At Loving by Nature, Dorchester’s independent sustainable children’s store, we carefully select toys that nurture imagination, curiosity, and connection — and this timeless Grapat piece is one of our favourites for both play and learning.
