Grapat Toys How to use Loose Parts plus a review on our Entire collection

[@waynequint1033]

These videos are sooooo helpful. My wife and I are always waiting for a new one. We loved your daughters cameo at the end!

[@allhart]

She loves to make an entrance 😂

[@Playing_with_a_Purpose]

Love these loose parts. I wish it was easier to find larger loose parts. I have a multi-age classroom aged 1-4 so I need to be careful with small parts! Thanks for pointing out the larger ones!

[@allhart]

Yes I know! Most loose parts tend to be smaller. But I’m glad Grapat does have a few larger pieces available for younger children. ❤️

[@hannahm6201]

What a dreamy collection! Thanks for sharing. Love your videos!

[@allhart]

Thank you. Happy you enjoyed it ❤️

[@tiffanyishername]

I love how everytime I come to your videos I'm learning something new!

[@allhart]

Thank you Tiffany!

[@tasha0701]

Thanks a bunch ☺️ i will definitely buy some of the toys to my daughter!! Thank you for ideas how to play with them. 👍

[@mquin001]

Loved this video. So informative as usual. Thank you for including different ways of using the materials. Gave me plenty of ideas.

[@allhart]

So glad I was able to help ❤️

[@HappyMav]

Thanks for the video. I love your collection. We just started our journey on Grapat and there is a long way to go haha. Btw I have been eyeing on the lola set recently. It seems fun.

[@HappyMav]

Almost forgot! I wish you could share the details about how to make that giant magnetic black board! That is exactly what I want for my kid. Also wondering where did you get that huge wall decor of butterflies.

[@phaedrainthewoods7447]

Thank you for this inspiring video! We have a lot of loose parts, too, but I love the way you present them on the table. Where are the number cards (for math activities with the beautiful rainbow background) come from?

[@hsusandy6968]

Thanks, this helps a lot!

[@leakononchuk5540]

So beautiful! Can you please tell me where you got the wooden trays to hold all the loose parts?

[@allhart]

They’re the Grapat Tinker trays, a bit challenging to find in stock. And the larger ones are actually just wooden utensil holders. They worked perfectly for our Grapat display!

[@kelliroache2041]

Thank you for the video!! How old are your children? Do you know when do kids tend to outgrow the mandala pieces?

[@allhart]

My daughter is 2 and my son is 5. I think the mandala pieces are something they can continue to enjoy for a long time. Especially because the mandala designs get more complex as they grow.

[@aimeevargas4016]

Thanks! Quick question, what is that box you're using to display the loose parts?

[@allhart]

It’s the grapat trinket tray ❤️

[@MsLilitochka]

where are those adorable little baskets from? we love your videos for Montessori activities and inspiration☺️

[@allhart]

Oh thank you ❤️ Im so glad you’re enjoying these videos. I got the baskets from Amazon, but I’ll be honest and say that the shipping for these was a real pain. They got lost in the mail 3 times before we finally received them, which is why I didn’t include the link in the video. I had to reorder them each time too. A real headache. That said, I do absolutely love them. They are so useful for so many different activities. If you’d like the link I can definitely give it to you. Just wanted you to know about the shipping hassle first lol.

[@MsLilitochka]

All Hart well they seem very useful and worth the pain🙈 i couldn’t find any alternatives so please let me know☺️

[@nicolemoreland6257]

​@@allhartI would also like the link for the little woven baskets. I have been hunting for something similar and cannot find a comparable. Thank you in advanced!

[@boo-boolip7528]

On your back wall is a print of butterflies...where can I get that? Also on same wall, what color is that?

[@suhasini314]

could you pls share a link for the wooden sorting baskets .. they are super cute and just the right size. thank you.

[@allhart]

Are you referring to the small brown wicker baskets? Those I actually found on Amazon a few years ago and don’t have a link. But I think you’ll be able to find them there ❤️

[@anastasias514]

Where is the butterfly banner from? So pretty!

[@allhart]

I believe that large banner we got from World Market a few years back. Hopefully they’re still available. ❤️

[@marianargazevedo]

Loving your videos ❤️🌈

[@allhart]

Thank you Mariana :)

[@Goddnsdlskdprpfh]

This content is sooo good. Where did you buy the wide-tinker tray? Is that a Grapot product, too? If not, I want to know the brand. Where can I buy it? :) Your video has been uploaded for a long time, but I hope you get an answer if you see the comments :)

[@allhart]

Hi Anna. They’re actually just utensil organizers that expand. I don’t recall the brand. But you can find a few different options through Amazon. I do have a Grapat branded trinket tray but it’s not as big. ❤️

[@musicisgrooving4454]

HELLO , these videos are so helpful! May I know where can download or buy the video you show (11:43 ) , the card ? Thanks

[@allhart]

There is a link in the description box. They were purchased through Etsy.com ❤️

[@Itsameaish]

Omg obsessed with those ingredients cards are they handmade?

[@allhart]

Hi Aysha. No. I got them from a cute little shop on Etsy. ❤️ There are a lot of different vendors that make them, but this style was my favorite.

[@juliefarney1405]

Can you please share the link where you got all these? Thank you

[@allhart]

I got them from Roseandrex.com Hopefully they’re back in stock because they are sold out from so many places at the moment ❤️

[@juliefarney1405]

@@allhart thank you so much

[@louderthanwordsInclusivity]

I hate how ungodly expensive the mandala loose parts sets are 😓 we use a montessori reggio based homeschool approach (i know they are so different but it works amazingly for us! We just had to figure out what was right for us!) But yeah, we have loose parts galore and are needing more daily, we went through a gallon of corks last week building structures and doing process art, but i do have some non art loose parts and would love to add quality ones like these!!

[@allhart]

I love the Reggio approach as well. And you are absolutely right. All children learn differently and it’s important to note that one approach may not work for a family completely and that it is ok to take on the aspects of other curriculums that you feel will benefit your children. It is why we incorporated some Waldorf into our curriculum along with Montessori. I would love to see what your Reggio loose parts set up looks like. I think the Grapat loose parts would add so much vibrancy and color to what you may already have. Thanks for writing ❤️

[@Motherhood1]

love the recipe cards where are those from?

[@allhart]

Recipe cards are from Etsy. I think I added the link to the FALL Open Ended Toys video ❤️ They’re our favorite cards to use but there are many others on Etsy to choose from.

[@michellemadrid5384]

Where were Grapats when my son was little? I want these just to lay around to look at! Haha. Do the trays come with the sets?

[@allhart]

I know how you feel! I love the Grapat pieces just as much as my kiddos lol. As for the trays, unfortunately they do NOT come with the sets. ❤️

[@michellemadrid5384]

@@allhart This video was just AWESOME!!! Your Grapat display is wonderful and I really enjoyed all the footage with your kiddos utilizing the Grapats. I have been struggling with a birthday gift for my niece who is turning two and the Grapats are perfect.

[@tegangrindlay2613]

Do your children play with all of the loose parts without following your lead with activities, I have a 9 month old and I’m trying to gauge whether he would explore these toys by himself for years to come without my lead

[@allhart]

He would definitely explore them. But I would stick to the larger Grapat toys for your Child to explore. The smaller pieces I would save until your little one is a bit older. But they would definitely explore them. They may NOT play with it in a way that you expect, but that is ok, bc they are exploring and learning and finding their own way. My children play with ALL of the Grapat pieces and utilize them in different ways. It’s definitely a toy they can grow with ❤️

[@yvonnesariya11]

Were did you get your Tinker wood boxes?

[@allhart]

One of them is an actual Grapat tinker tray. I got it off EBay, as they’re sold out in most places. The other two matching wooden trays are actually drawer organizers. ❤️

[@debbie6428]

Where can I find these toys?

[@allhart]

I found these toys off of Mercari which is a lot like EBay or Poshmark where resellers sell their items, as they were sold out of traditional online stores at that time. ❤️
