I know that Spielgaben is an investment, and it may not be in the budget for all of you- but, if it is something you have been considering saving up for, I would highly recommend it.

I thought my kids would outgrow those types of simple toys. Turns out, I was wrong.Since receiving our Spielgaben set, my 11 year old and my 15 year old have been using them in all types of ways.

Even my middle schooler will find ways to incorporate this set into his learning in the coming year. My biggest regret, actually, is that I didn’t listen to my gut and invest in it when I first started homeschooling.

One of the best and most common questions I get about Spielgaben is about the cost. It is most definitely an investment and most of us don’t have extra money to throw around. I hope this post helps you decide if it is worth the price for you.

I think my favorite thing is that my children don’t really think of this activity as “school”, they think they’re getting to play, but it really is a wonderful educational tool.

If you want to stimulate development and encourage meaningful learning, toss out those batteries. Open-ended, low-tech toys are the way to go. It’s just that simple. Contrary to popular belief, there’s no app for that!

You need to be honest and really decide whether you want the materials because they are so beautiful or whether you truly know that this is the kind of play your children enjoy (or are showing signs of enjoying) and will use the materials.

Do you like educational toys and learning manipulatives for kids? If so, be prepared to fall in love with Spielgaben! I consider myself well versed on educational toys, but I hadn’t heard of this one until I started seeing it on a few favorite blogs.

I can’t even begin to describe the enthusiasm that met Spielgaben when it arrived at our home. We were all so excited to unwrap each of the beautifully packed gifts and my children worked together to cover this side table with a blanket and set up a store.

The toys that we choose to buy for our kids can make a difference in their development. Being presented opportunities to see, play with and experience specific materials will present different challenges, require different skill sets and cover different learning areas.

When I opened the package of Spielgaben toys, I felt as if I had just opened a package of Nienhuis materials (the highest-quality Montessori materials, which I loved and used as a Montessori teacher and when I owned a Montessori school).

I am passionate about open ended, natural toys. No buttons. No batteries. Toys that invite investigation, exploration and discovery. Toys that have longevity because they are multi-functional and can be enjoyed by all ages. Can a toy really do that?

What I absolutely adore about Spielgaben is that it’s so compact, and comes with it’s own beautifully made storage system. The complete set of 13 comes in a lovely packaging system that neatly stores all the toys.

I Can Teach My Child | Former 1st Grade Teacher

The name of this product could easily be called “the best set of ever created”. I use the word “manipulatives” instead of “toy” because it is more than just a toy and can easily be transformed into about a thousand different mini-lessons...

There were lots of ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from me and the girls when we unpacked out set – especially as there were so many resources included. As a set of loose parts or manipulatives for play and learning they offer so many possibilities, across learning subjects.

Maths and number and physics type things have never been my thing. I have always regarded myself as having little to no skill in this area and avoided anything that made me test that skill.

The best gift you could give to your kids!!! A great way for both kids and parent to engage in purposeful play. They are well constructed and well presented. Like the trolley it comes in. Love the fact that even packing up the Spielgaben after play provides a learning opportunity for the my child. The worksheets, inspiration cards and User guides provided are easy to understand and really help us get a handle on how best to start using the Spielgaben. They are not just pretty looking wooden toys, they encourage creativity and cognitive development . The Spielgaben based play will stand the test of time and all kids should play like this.

The Spielgaben set has been an excellent tool which has been of value to all my grandchildren who are of varying ages. My older grandchildren have enjoyed interacting with the set in a creative way whilst for my younger grandchildren the set supports the development of their fine motor skills, numeracy understanding and their colour and shape awareness. They are enjoying playing with the Spielgaben set so much that they don't even realise that they are learning. In addition, the worksheets are easy to follow and comprehend and offer opportunities to apply the set to the children’s level of ability and understanding. We look forward to further exploring how we can use Spielgaben to support the children in their learning both now and in the future.

Wow! This set is amazing , its just the best way to spend time with the kids and actually learn things , the kids love it and cant wait untill next session to play , it takes learning back to old school with crimson rods etc , it makes the mind think more and not just press buttons , I cant praise this enough. All in all is a brilliant idea !
Tracey Peterson
Excellent toy as well as a piece of art!! We have no hesitation to recommend Spielgaben to any parents. The craftsmanship of the materials and the customer service are both excellent. The fact that it has been developed by a team of passionate people whose focus is solely on the product, makes it both an excellent toy and a piece of art. Our 2.5 years old has already enjoyed it. It is a worthy investment.
Myrtha Bauer
Spielgaben is a great quality product with endless play potential. The play guides and inspirations are fantastic guidance. We were fed up with plastic toys that broke quickly or only retained the children’s interest momentarily given their narrow scope of play. The amount of un-used, broken toys we were accumulating in our ‘junk room’ (play room) was astounding. We decided to donate, toss and clear out the room for real play. We wanted to provide our children with tools to teach problem solving, creativity and invention whilst their brains are developing to give them fundamental skills that would carry them throughout life. That’s why we decided on Spielgaben for our play based learning material. Our pre-schooler and toddler choose to play with it daily and I am sure it’ll be a favourite for many years to come since I enjoy attempting the activities myself. I am sure we will continue to have many great family times with our Spielgaben!
