Description
This is the one that started it all. Twelve nesting wooden arches in bold rainbow colours — no batteries, no instructions, no right way to use it — and somehow it's the toy that never makes it back onto the shelf.
Watch it over a single day and you'll see why. It's a tunnel at breakfast, a fence around the farm animals by lunch, a bridge, a boat, a snug little bed for a favourite figure, and a tower built as high as it will go before the very satisfying crash. Handcrafted in Germany from sustainably sourced wood and finished with water-based, non-toxic stains that let the grain show through.
Why we love the Grimm's Large Stacking Rainbow:
- Endlessly Open-Ended: With no single right way to play, one rainbow turns into hundreds of creations as your child's ideas grow.
- Bright, Bold Colours: Rich rainbow shades that double as an easy way into colour naming, sorting, and ordering by size.
- A Waldorf & Montessori Favourite: Child-led, screen-free building that rewards patience and problem-solving.
- Heirloom Quality: Warm, smooth wood that survives years of stacking and toppling, ready to hand down to the next builder.
Are Grimm's toys worth it?
For most families, yes — and the rainbow is the usual proof. It's hand-finished in Germany from sustainably sourced wood and tested to European and North American safety standards, which is where the price sits. What justifies it is staying power: this is a toy that gets used weekly for years, not a novelty that fades after a month.
What age is the stacking rainbow for?
It's recommended for ages 3 and up, though plenty of families introduce it around two as a first open-ended toy. Toddlers start by nesting and toppling the arches, preschoolers build tunnels and enclosures, and school-age children attempt precise balancing structures. The play grows with them rather than being outgrown.
Twelve simple arches, and not one afternoon they're used the same way twice!
