Balancing game felt stones

A slight silver glance, the tip of the tongue flashing out at the corner of the mouth, the movement slowed to apparent motionlessness - do not worry, there is nothing wrong with your child. Playing with these felt stones, your offspring has simply entered the vast (exercise) field of meditative relaxation: completely focused, breathing evenly, moving in a coordinated manner, keeping a concentrated balance. You see: Stacking stones is an art not only in Zen meditations. And in the same breath, the fantastic world of free play opens up to the child, as he counts, assigns, compares, and integrates the felt stones into new play worlds. For example, when it still needs a mountain massif on the edge of the prairie. Or a wall for the deep Brunnen, where the mermaid lives. Or a guardrail for the self-created race track of the Kugelflitzer.

Artfully imitating the pebbles of a beach, these large, easy-to-grasp balancing stones are felted by hand from pure New Zealand virgin wool and give your child a pleasant haptic experience. At the same time, they promote the cognitive development of your offspring: like Isaac Newton once did, your child will playfully discover the laws of gravity and how the threat of falling can be countered by balance - calmly, with concentration and trying it out again and again. And if you would like to give it a try as well: go ahead! For young and old, the felt stones offer a wonderful way to experience the power and calm inherent in play and balance.

During her backpacking trip through Nepal, the Dane Gry Staunstrup was immediately captivated by the openness and warmth of the people - and by their craftsmanship. She was able to observe in detail how skillfully and skilfully Nepalese women felted wool into Objekten. The idea of using this skill and combining Nepalese craftsmanship with Danish design was quickly born. And the idea was immediately followed by action.

Since 2000, the company Gry & Sif has been producing a wide range of products from wool felt in Nepal. The designs supplied by Gry Staunstrup are in typical Danish design, as striking as they are discreet and at the same time carefree and cheerful; the production is carried out by Nepalese women using traditional craftsmanship. Now Fair Trade certified, Gry & Sif stands for fair wages, good working conditions and transparency. Only pure new wool from New Zealand sheep is used for the felt products - each of which is unique and handmade.
