Grapat Dear Universe

Wooden Planets Set for Imaginative and Cosmic Play

A Celestial Invitation to Open-Ended and Educational Play

Grapat’s Dear Universe is a beautifully curated set of over 40 handcrafted wooden pieces that bring the wonders of outer space into children’s hands. With sizes ranging from 12mm to 45mm in diameter, these planet-inspired loose parts encourage children to explore astronomy, creativity, and sensory discovery through open-ended play.

Each piece represents a planet or celestial body, making it a meaningful companion to Grapat’s Weekly Calendar (sold separately). As the days of the week are traditionally named after planets, this set provides a tangible way to connect with time, culture, and the cosmos.

Designed for Exploration – From Playroom to Galaxy

Whether used for free play, sorting, storytelling, or learning about the solar system, Dear Universe sparks curiosity and nurtures imagination. This set is also perfect for creating seasonal displays, mandalas, and mindful rituals around daily or weekly rhythms.

Crafted by Grapat in Spain using sustainable wood and non-toxic finishes, each piece reflects the brand’s devotion to natural materials, intentional design, and child-led learning.
