Experiment with ingenious constructions with these rainbow-hued stacking and building sticks by Grimm's! The ingenious inventor of this bridge construction is none other than Leonardo da Vinci. By following the set up instructions, one can understand the brilliance of his design. The beauty of it is that you can start with one or two modules, which can then be extended step by step to become a large bridge or dome. The completed structure stands without glue or a cord and without a nail or screw. Admittedly, one needs a quiet hand and some finesse to set it up. Combine the Leonardo Sticks with other Grimm's building blocks (the 2x2 size works best), creating stairs, houses and other buildings!
Finished with a mix of different natural oils with linseed oil as the main ingredient. This blend consists of linseed oil, olive oil, thistle oil, walnut oil and soybean oil.

Unique Markings:
Grimm's loves wood because it is a natural material so it always has various markings that show up in their products, making each one unique. Grimm’s toys are always one of a kind, carrying unique marks made by nature. Wood grain has changing structures and colours which serve as proof of its natural origins. The unique variations are proof of quality, not defects. Discover the markings that make your Grimm’s toy Simply Unique!
From Nature:
Every piece of wood has its own appearance, its own character and its own vitality. Its natural characteristics, and unique markings are therefore always to be considered. For example, dark spots on the rainbow are caused by mineral deposits. This means that if the tree had grown further, a branch would have developed at this point.
Black stripes are also something completely natural. This is the so-called pith tube or "heart of the tree". It differs from the surrounding wood by the darker colour and structure. When working on the wood, it can become completely or partially visible. This feature is part of the natural appearance of the wood. Therefore, these are not defects for Grimm's, but quality features of a natural product and as such are desired and welcome by them. We love this uniqueness of wood!
These are great, and provide quite a fun challenge even for adults! They are also perfect in open ended creations!

Perfect for my toddler and preschooler
My children use these pretty regularly and for several months now, they're surprisingly strong enough not to get broken by my 4 & 2 year olds. I bought to help with mable runs and they work very well!
The box came damaged, however the company graciously gave me a credit in return, if I remember correctly. The customer service was quick in replying.

Fun to get out, hard to put away
We already have slats so I was planning to skip these but I really wanted something small enough to make ball runs with so I went for it. They are great for that, and we've enjoyed using them as other things as well. They look beautiful when cleaned up and put away in their box, but that means a) sorting them by color and b) carefully putting them in the box--every one has to be in the perfect position or they don't fit. That's obvious from the photo, but I think they get played with a little less because they are tougher to put away.
