Designer: Hugo Kükelhaus

Grasping, touching, hearing, experiencing - Hugo Kükelhaus invented the category of grasping toys as playthings for toddlers in 1939 and initially called them "allbedeut". The sensory-motor wooden toy promotes the senses, motor skills, and imagination in early childhood. The designer, architect, and carpenter was inspired by the pedagogical approach of Friedrich Fröbel, the founder of kindergarten. The proportions, the detailed craftsmanship, the wood material, and its surface are well thought out and become more beautiful the more they are handled and played with. Kükelhaus's design principle was the idea: "Weak stimuli trigger - moderate stimuli develop - strong stimuli inhibit - overly strong stimuli destroy."


The grasping toys are authentically made in a workshop in Bavaria from a variety of woods.
