Nins Neighborhood

The Montessori-inspired Nins Neighborhood brings learning to life with dynamic tools that enrich sensory perception and cognitive development. With their diverse shapes, sizes, and colors, Nin figures inspire exploration and skill-building activities like sorting, matching, and categorizing. These activities enhance visual perception, fine-motor skills, and hand-eye coordination.

Moreover, Nin figures inspire storytelling and imaginative play, fostering creativity and language development. The Nin Neighborhood components offer extraordinary versatility. The colorful wood containers can be reimagined as train cars, boats, or bathtubs for the Nin characters, while the Nin rings can be hula hoops for jumping or stacked as clothing, life jackets, or towels. The wooden coins serve as stepping stones, fences, or skateboards, offering endless possibilities for creative play.
Additionally, educators can utilize Nin characters as hands-on manipulatives to teach mathematical concepts by facilitating counting, sorting, sequencing, patterning, and basic addition and subtraction. They provide engaging learning experiences that help children grasp math skills in a concrete and visual manner. Finally, the Nin figures can be a foundational tool for introducing children to thinking skills concepts such as categorizing, patterns, and sequencing through exploration and practice. They provide a tactile and interactive approach to early education.

Each of the Nin Neighborhood pieces originates from a family-owned business that was born from the desire for open-ended play for their own children. Their wooden toys are crafted from sustainably sourced wood; meticulously hand-painted with water-based, child-safe dye; and finished with a coating of natural wax and vegetable-based oil. From design to production, each piece is created with care in Spain, ensuring quality and safety for your little ones. Piece colors will vary.
