This Grimm's classic will stand the test of time, in the playroom, because there are always new ways to play with it!
Even the very youngest enjoy taking the seven friends out of their wooden cups, turning the cups over, stacking them on top of each other and putting the little figures back in the cups ... on repeat, because this is exactly where the magic of play lies!
Later, the friends and cups can be colour matched, and the cups used for colour hunts, playing shop or serving little cups of tea.
Through their different colours and different types of wood, the Seven Friends reflect our wonderful diverse world as well as celebrating everyone’s uniqueness.
Each one of the little hand-painted wooden figures has a different look and individual wood grain. These happy little wooden figures, made from different types of wood from trees indigenous to central Europe, are gender neutral.
With no specific facial expression, they can be either sad or happy.
With their simple appearance they spur on the child’s imagination, instead of restricting it by offering too much detail.
In addition to sorting and colour matching, the Seven Friends in Cups can also be used as a weekly calendar: Each figure is assigned a day of the week. For each passing day, a figure is placed on their cup until a week has passed and all 7 friends jump back into their cups, so that a new week can begin!
The Seven Friends are a wonderful addition to the 6-Piece Rainbow, as an ideal introduction to the fantastic world of rainbows and free play.
