Four Seasons Semi-Circle Boards

I already had the large rainbow stacker from this brand, so when I came across the semicircles, I was interested right away. The two sets can be used separately, but they complement one another well, so having both products opens up many more possibilities for imaginative play. I've had the stacker for several months now, and I anticipate that these pieces will also hold up well. Here's what I found.

The semicircles are an exact color match for the rainbow, and the various colors are also arranged in the same order. The semicircles are cut thinner, so that one arch from the rainbow is roughly as thick as one and half semicircles. I quite like the thickness of the stacker pieces, and I imagined that this set would be the same way, but perhaps the two different types of blocks are normally cut differently, and I simply didn't know to expect that. The fact that they are thinner makes me wonder if they'd snap more easily under rough play conditions, and if that happens, I will update my review.

From what I can tell for now, the semicircles are still well-made. All the pieces are evenly shaped and odor-free. The wood is sanded and stained, in such a way that the natural appearance and feel of the woodgrain remains apparent, and I love that. Rather than being sealed up inside a slick, painted shell, the wood here is still front and center, which is critical for maintaining a bit of 'tooth' or grip, allowing the pieces to hold together a bit through friction as your child builds and plays, rather than them sliding right past one another because they're too slippery to work as intended.

I also think that the pattern of the wood looks beautiful, so from a purely aesthetic point of view, I prefer being able to see that, rather than it being hidden under a glossy layer of paint. For parents who are intentional about making sure their children interact more with natural materials, for either sensory or safety reasons, this is probably very much the kind of thing you're looking for. I personally don't automatically reject all plastic toys, but I do appreciate having good quality wooden items in my classroom or home.

If you're looking for a wooden rainbow stacker and/or semicircles, I definitely recommend checking out this brand. These sets are more than I can readily spend, but are worth saving up for. The quality is definitely there. Your kids could probably pass these toys down to their children one day.

I already own two other products from AVDAR: the wooden peg doll set with hats, which is incredibly high-quality, and a building block set that includes a peg family, an animal figure, and a sturdy acrylic storage box. While the building block set hasnt arrived yet (its scheduled for Monday), Im confident itll be just as impressive as the peg doll set. Because of my great experience with this brand, I decided to add their 11-piece wooden rainbow semicircle stacker to our collection.
One of the things I appreciate most about AVDAR is their use of water-based wood wax oil to stain the wood instead of painting over it. This approach maintains the natural beauty of the wood while avoiding the risk of paint chipping over time, which can be both unsightly and hazardous. This attention to detail and commitment to safety and aesthetics is one of the reasons I trust this brand.
When I saw this stacker, I knew it was the perfect addition to our growing collection of open-ended wooden toys. These types of toys are fantastic for imaginative play, and the possibilities are endless. My 5-year-old is constantly coming up with creative setups using her toys, and Im sure shell love incorporating this into her play. Whether shes building trees, stacking, or creating houses, this rainbow semicircle set will fit seamlessly with our other wooden toys and encourage her creativity.
That said, I was a bit surprised by how thin and lightweight these pieces are. I expected them to be thicker and sturdier, especially at this price point. While Im slightly concerned about how theyll hold up to rough play and years of use, the quality still feels good overall, and the design is as beautiful as Id hoped.
Despite the thinness, Im still excited about this purchase and look forward to seeing how my kids incorporate it into their play. Its such a versatile toy that encourages endless possibilities, and I trust AVDAR to deliver quality, even with my initial concerns. This rainbow stacker will be under the Christmas tree this year, and I cant wait to see the creative ways my kids use it to build, imagine, and play!

This wooden rainbow stacker toy has quickly become a favorite in our home! The vibrant colors and smooth finish make it visually appealing, while the design encourages imaginative play. My little one loves stacking the pieces and finding creative ways to build new shapes. Its not only fun but also great for developing fine motor skills and problem-solving. The quality of the wood is excellent, and it feels sturdy and safe for little hands. A beautiful and educational toy that brings joy and learning together in the best way!

These are pretty and the wood is smooth. They are basically semicircular blocks so they invite open play. Very beautiful addition to any block collection.

This wasn't quite what I had expected. They don't stack inside each other like others which is what I thought, they stack on top of each other, hence the 4 stars. Otherwise these are a fun way to learn colors and easy for little ones to handle. This would make a great gift!
