Grimm's Rainbow: Is It Just for Instagram?
You've seen it on every montessori shelf. The Grimm's Rainbow is hand-carved from a single piece of wood and stained with non-toxic water-based colors. It's a tunnel, a fence, a cradle, and a bridge.
Why We Love It
The texture. Unlike cheap plastic toys, the wood is slightly rough, which allows the arches to stack in impossible, gravity-defying ways.
Key Specs
- Wood: FSC Certified Lime Wood
- Finish: Non-toxic water-based stain
- Pieces: 12
- Origin: Made in Germany/Bosnia
Real Parent Review
"My 1-year-old bangs it. My 4-year-old builds elaborate cities with it. It truly grows with them."

Verdict
It is art that you can play with. Expensive, but retains value and captivates kids for years.
