How can you let children play without screens and fully stimulate their creativity? In a world full of screens and ready-made toys, it can be a challenge to give children the space to create their own play. How do you ensure their creativity runs free? How do you stimulate their imagination without forcing them into a rigid pattern? Many parents notice that their children are playing less and less spontaneously and are more likely to lose interest in toys that don't have a direct function. This raises the question: how can we help children develop their own imagination and problem-solving skills? The answer lies in open-ended toys, and that's where Grapat excels. With its latest collection, All the Nothing, Grapat once again sets the standard for imaginative and limitless play.
