Christmas gift for grandchildren: a gift you can build together

Many grandparents look for a gift that is not just unwrapped and put away. Crateit is toys in uncoloured wood that the child builds, colours and plays with. It is a nice thing to do together at the kitchen table.

Three reasons to choose Crateit

  • No screen, no batteries and no app. The play comes from the child.
  • The parts click together without glue or tools, so you can build it together straight away.
  • Crateit Town grows set by set, so you or the parents can add to it next time.

Gift ideas

The Fire Station is the big gift in Crateit Town: 72 pieces, 3 wooden vehicles and 60 × 28 cm assembled. In Crateit Roomies every dollhouse is two rooms across two floors with furniture and a figure: Couch & Crayons, Breakfast in Bed, The Bubble Nest and The Cloud Office.

If the child already has part of the town, add the City Gas Station, Around The Mountain or the Adventure Track Extension. If you have several grandchildren, Thunder Truck, the bus and the road signs are small gifts that fit into the same town.

Tip: agree with the parents

Ask the parents whether the child already has Crateit Town or Roomies. Then your gift can build on what the child has, and the town grows with every Christmas and birthday.

Developed in Odense

Crateit is developed in Odense. The Fire Station and the Roomies dollhouses are made at sheltered workshops in Denmark. Remember a set of Crateit markers, as the wood comes uncoloured.

See all of Crateit Town and Crateit Roomies, or find the gift by age: gifts for a 5-year-old and gifts for a 6-year-old.
