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.
