Grimms Counting Rainbow 10 Piece Tunnel. The 10-piece rainbow is part of the Grimm´s world of numbers, where games fit perfectly together. Children can discover the more abstract world of numbers in many different ways by playing and by simply using their different senses. They can make sense of what belongs together and thereby discover the world of numbers for themselves. These are not traditional educational toys or materials that are precise and guide toward one correct answer. None of the products have numbers or fractions on them since the main intention is to provide materials that stimulate free play in various ways. There are endless ways to discover the abstract world of numbers by using the different senses. Due to the hand-cut nature of this product, you may find there is a 'correct' way to stack the arches. This is not considered to be a fault, rather it makes each tunnel unique.

A unique characteristic of Grimms wooden toys is the velvety surface resulting from the use of colour glaze that penetrates into the wood, leaving a matte finish rather than a glossy one. The individual pieces are dipped by hand into the stain and Grimms intentionally do not put a final protective coating on it to preserve the positive characteristics of the wood. This method guarantees that toys stack more easily with greater play possibilities, and children feel and experience the wood fibres and structure while playing. From time to time colour transfer will result in new products that carry some excess colour pigments. Grimms recommend wiping the transferred surface with a wet, lint-free cloth to remove colour pigments. Grimms colours are non-toxic, water based stains that are absolutely harmless and tested in-depth for colour fastness in contact with saliva. This test uses a liquid comparable to standard human saliva. However, some people’s saliva do vary from the “standard”, so some colour may transfer under those conditions, but the stains are harmless.
