good simple fun,
This is a good basic addition to any toddler’s toy collection. We like it because:
- It’s wood. The rings make a satisfying “clink” that plastic or cloth stacking rings lack.
- It’s easy for kids to do. We’ve had other stacking toys (like the Melissa & Doug stacking train) where certain pieces only fit in certain places, and that is frustrating for little ones just figuring out how things work. This one’s simple and straight-forward.
- It’s inexpensive.
My older son received this when he was about 18 months and played with it quite a bit. Now his younger brother enjoys it, and has been able to put the rings on & off since about 12 months.
(Just a warning: the stick, or “ring holder” as we call it, often gets banged around like a hammer in our house – this is partly why they like this toy so much, but it means close supervision is necessary!)

|Be careful if buying as a gift!,
I ordered this rainbow stacker after reading several great reviews. My 13 mo. old daughter grabbed for it as I was unpacking it, so I think she’s going to love it. HOWEVER, I am disappointed in the quality – several of the rings are stuck together by paint. The ones I have been able to pry apart have paint stuck on them (blue on yellow for example) and the purple & yellow ones I have not been able to pry apart yet (neither has my husband!) I’m sure they will come apart eventually, but personally I would not give this as a gift due to this quality control issue.

|Choking Hazard and difficult for small hands,
The top piece, the blue one pictured, is small enough to be a choking hazard. Just FYI. We removed that piece and threw it away.
Also, the pole and the hole are small requiring really really good fine motor skills. For babies just learning this skill look for bigger poles and holes otherwise, it’s really hard for them to do this one.
