Grimm's Wooden Numbers Building Set | Counting by Colour

Stackable wooden numbers in Grimm’s World of Numbers colour system for hands-on maths play.

The Grimm’s Numbers Building Set is a beautiful wooden maths toy that helps children get to know numbers in a tangible way. This chunky set includes the numbers 0 to 9, each in the distinctive Grimm’s World of Numbers colour scheme, where every colour connects to a number value from 1 to 10. The result is a set that supports number recognition, counting, sequencing, and early maths while also inviting children to stack and build.

The colours follow Grimm’s harmonious Waldorf-inspired palette, influenced by Goethe’s colour wheel, with each shade linking to the wider World of Numbers range. That means this set combines beautifully with other Grimm’s Counting by Colour toys, helping children build a wider hands-on maths resource world where the same colours always represent the same values.

Made from lime wood and finished with non-toxic, water-based colour stain, these wooden numbers have the tactile, velvety feel that makes Grimm’s toys so distinctive. The unlacquered finish allows the natural grain of the wood to remain visible, giving each piece warmth and character. The set comes in a cardboard box with a cotton canvas drawstring bag for storage, plus a small leaflet with play ideas.
