Children live in the here and now. They are not yet concerned with the past or the future at all. A concept such as a week, with 7 days ticking away and following each other, is difficult to understand. Grapat Weekly Calendar helps you concretize the rhythm.
The colors of the 7 Nins hidden in their small containers were not chosen by chance. Each day of the week is associated with a certain color, according to Waldorf pedagogy . Ancient cultures believed that each day of the week was linked to its own planet, color, scent and grain.
Waldorf's vision has expanded on this idea to help children get a handle on the days of the week. The colors that correspond to the days of the week are: Monday purple, Tuesday red, Wednesday yellow, Thursday orange, Friday green, Saturday blue, Sunday white.
The Nins can tell a story together with the bowls, the Nins who don't have their turn can sleep in their bowl. Every morning you wake up a new Nin together and every evening you wish them goodnight.
The Grapat weekly calendar consists of: 7 containers, 1 round bowl (18 cm in diameter) where the nins are kept.
Sustainable The wood comes from sustainably managed Spanish forests. By not using acrylic paint, the characteristic properties of the wood are retained. They use opaque water-based paint for the wooden rainbow colors. Finally, a layer of beeswax is added.
