Naef Tawa
NAEF 9421
Regular price $280.00Building fun with surprising effects. The 16 unconventional, angular building blocks are available in two colors: untreated wood or two different shades of blue.
The TAWA blocks reveal their potential as soon as you start to play with them. The results are striking patterns and constructions with surprising effects.
TAWA is a wonderful complement to the other Naef sets, as each block remains 50 mm high no matter how it is positioned/ rotated, and can therefore be combined with many of the Naef building blocks in various configurations.
{Note that some of the photos show TAWA in combination with Naef Spiel.}
Recommended for ages 6 years and up. A toy for children and adults alike.
20 x 20 x 5 cm when in cube formation.

Naef Rainbow (special order)
NAEF 9713
Regular price $320.00Let us introduce the Naef Rainbow.
Nine arch-shaped elements made of layered maple wood are both wooden play objects and acoustic bodies. Brilliant rainbow colors and the high-quality crafted wood make Rainbow a play and artistic object of great haptic quality. Balance the elements with virtuosity, which is quite easy, there is much to discover. The luminance and simplicity of the arches inspire to continually want to discover new combinations of color and tone, and the ball rolls round the rainbow run.
Please Note: Rainbow does not come with a ball in the United States and Canada.
Recommended for ages 3 - 6 years.
9 pieces. Solid wood with non-toxic colour, comes with mallet for playing the arches like glockenspiel notes.
Design by Heiko Hillig. The Naef Rainbow was the winner of the German Design Award for Wooden Toys in 1997, and the Bundespreis productdesign in 1998.
25 x 12.5 x 3.5 cm.
Made in Germany by Naef.
