Dear Universe

Discover the wonders of outer space with the Grapat Dear Universe wooden play set. This set includes seven hand-painted planets that can represent the days of the week and a selection of pearly white moons and craggy asteroids to create your own solar system.

The Grapat Dear Universe will inspire open-ended imaginative play, learning about celestial bodies and helping young children visualise the planets in the night skies. This set can also be combined with the Grapat 7 Moons weekday calendar - can you match the days of the week with their planet? This space play set includes 40 individual pieces including planets, moons and asteroids or stars. Each piece is tactile and beautifully hand-painted in soft colours and incredible detail and presented in a decorated cardboard box for storage.

This set can be combined with other Grapat toys and would make a fantastic starting point for a Grapat collection. These timeless toys will appeal to generations of children who instinctively know how to play. The water-based paints used let the wood grain shine through, making them wonderfully tactile and appealing to the touch.
