IGLU Rainbow Montessori Soft Play Set – Beige, White & Grey Beige

IGLU Rainbow Montessori Soft Play Set – Stack, build and discover with three soft shapes

With the IGLU Rainbow Montessori Soft Play Set in Beige, White & Grey Beige, children get three soft, interlocking shapes that they can use to build, stack, and experiment with on their own. The recognizable rainbow shape is just the beginning: take the parts apart and the same set can transform into a tunnel, a balance game, a building structure, or part of a self-invented play world.

The set is inspired by Montessori learning, which gives children the space to explore materials at their own pace. There is no single correct way to play with the Rainbow Montessori. Children can take the three parts apart, fit them back together, stack them, move them, and try a different arrangement every time.

During this play, they can learn about differences in size, proportion, and position. By investigating which part fits where and how the shapes come together to form a structure, they gain a practical way to explore spatial relationships. Lifting, moving, and stacking can simultaneously provide opportunities to practice coordination through play.

The three parts are made of sturdy but lightweight PE foam. This allows them to retain their shape during daily use and makes them relatively easy to move. The exterior is finished with durable PVC artificial leather with a smooth surface.

After playing, the three shapes fit back into each other, allowing the set to be kept neatly organized.

The combination of Beige, White and Grey Beige gives the Rainbow Montessori a calm, neutral look that fits beautifully in a sophisticated nursery or playroom.

IGLU recommends this set for children from approximately 2 to 4 years old. The Rainbow Montessori is made in Latvia.

Three shapes that fit exactly together

The IGLU Rainbow Montessori consists of:

3 interlocking soft shapes

Together, they form a compact rainbow-like shape. If you take the individual parts apart, multiple separate play elements are created.

Children can, for example:

• Place them side by side
• Stack them on top of each other
• Assemble them back together
• Spread them throughout the play area
• Use them within a self-built obstacle course
• Make them part of fantasy play

Precisely because the parts can be recombined, the form of play is not predetermined.

From rainbow to tunnel

The recognizable rainbow setup can easily change when the individual parts are positioned differently.

This allows children to experiment with, for example:

• A rainbow shape
• A tunnel
• A balance game
• A small structure
• A piece of a fantasy landscape
• Various stacking combinations

The same shape can therefore take on a completely different meaning in the next game.

This fits well with open-ended play, where the material leaves room for one's own ideas instead of imposing one fixed function.

Montessori-inspired discovery

The Rainbow Montessori is, according to the product information, inspired by Montessori learning.

The emphasis is on self-discovery and experimentation.

Children can, for example, independently try to find out:

• Which shape fits inside another
• Which part is bigger or smaller
• How the three parts form one whole together
• What structures they can build themselves
• What happens when a part is placed differently

No complicated explanation is needed: the shapes themselves invite children to try.

The product information mentions Montessori as inspiration. We therefore deliberately present the set as Montessori-inspired and not as officially Montessori-certified material.

Discovering big, medium, and small

Because the three shapes fit into each other, children can get to know differences in size and proportion.

During play, concepts such as:

• Bigger
• Smaller
• Inside
• Outside
• Above
• Below
• Side by side

can naturally become part of the game.

This is not about formal learning, but about practical experience with shapes and space.

Exploring spatial awareness through play

To put the three parts back together, a child must investigate how the shapes relate to each other.

This can provide opportunities to explore spatial awareness.

For example, a child might discover:

• Which arch fits inside another
• How shapes should stand in relation to one another
• Which way a part should face
• How a structure changes when one shape is moved

If an idea doesn't work right away, the parts can simply be repositioned.

This creates a natural cycle of trying, adjusting, and trying again.

Building and solving small problems

During free building play, small challenges arise naturally.

For example:

• How do I put these shapes together?
• Which one fits here?
• How can I keep my structure standing?
• What can I make with this shape?

Children can try to come up with solutions for this themselves.

The Rainbow Montessori can thus invite hands-on problem-solving play, without there having to be one prescribed solution.

Coordination while moving and stacking

The individual shapes are lightweight and designed to be moved and rearranged.

When lifting and placing them, children must coordinate their movements with:

• The position of the element
• The chosen spot
• Other shapes
• Their own body

This can provide opportunities to practice coordination through play.

We deliberately describe this as an opportunity during play and not as a guarantee of a specific developmental effect.

Balance game with soft shapes

According to the product information, the individual parts can also be used for a balancing game.

Depending on how the shapes are set up, children can experiment with moving around, along, or over various soft shapes.

Thus, in addition to building and stacking, the set can also be part of active physical play.

The chosen setup and use must, of course, match the child's motor skills.

Suitable for fantasy play

One of the strong points of simple play shapes is that they don't dictate exactly what they should represent.

Within fantasy play, the Rainbow Montessori can, for example, turn into:

• A tunnel
• A hill
• A rainbow
• A part of a landscape
• A play object in a self-invented story

Children decide for themselves what function a shape takes on during play.

Playing together and sharing ideas

The Rainbow Montessori can be used independently, but can also become part of collaborative play.

For example, children can work together to:

• Devise a structure
• Share parts
• Create a new arrangement
• Take turns trying an idea
• Modify a structure

This can create play moments where children exchange ideas and take turns.

Recommended age from 2 to 4 years

IGLU recommends the Rainbow Montessori for children of approximately:

2 to 4 years

Within this age phase, the way the set is used can vary greatly.

One child might find it most interesting to:

• Take the parts apart
• Make them fit together again
• Stack them

Another child might prefer to use the same shapes for:

• Active physical play
• Building
• Fantasy play
• Playing together

The open-ended play design allows for different approaches.

Lightweight PE foam

The three shapes have a core of PE foam.

According to the product information, this material is:

• Sturdy
• Lightweight
• Dimensionally stable during daily use

This makes the elements suitable for regular rearranging.

The low weight also helps to easily change the position of the parts within the play area.

Easy to move and rebuild

The Rainbow Montessori is specifically intended to be taken apart and rebuilt.

Children can:

• Move the shapes
• Rotate them
• Stack them
• Lay them out separately
• Fit them back together

This allows the game to constantly change without needing new parts.

PVC artificial leather cover

The exterior is finished with PVC artificial leather.

According to the product information, this covering is:

• Durable
• Smooth-surfaced
• Practical for daily use

This makes the soft shapes feel smooth and easy to wipe down.

Easy to clean

For maintenance of the Rainbow Montessori, IGLU recommends:

• A soft cloth
• Mild soap

This allows the surface to be easily cleaned after playing.

More extensive maintenance instructions are not mentioned in the provided product information.

Compact storage after playing

A practical feature of the set is that the three shapes fit back into each other after playing.

This keeps the parts neatly together and makes the set one whole again.

This is convenient when you:

• Want to tidy up the play area
• Want to keep all parts together
• Do not want to leave three separate shapes scattered around

Thus, fitting them together is not just part of the game, but also practical afterwards.

Beige, White & Grey Beige – Calm neutral combination

The Rainbow Montessori consists of the colors:

Beige, White and Grey Beige

This neutral combination gives the set a soft and calm appearance.

The colors are easy to combine with, for example:

• Ecru
• Taupe
• Brown
• Natural wood
• Other soft neutral tones

This makes the Rainbow Montessori fit nicely in rooms where toys are part of the interior design.

For a calm play area

The soft color scheme makes this set suitable for, for example:

• A neutral nursery
• A calm playroom
• A play corner in the living room
• A Scandinavian-inspired decor
• An interior with natural materials and light tones

Thus, the set combines creative and active play with a subtle look.

Why choose the IGLU Rainbow Montessori?

The IGLU Rainbow Montessori Soft Play Set Beige, White & Grey Beige shows how many possibilities three simple shapes can offer.

Children can take the parts apart, stack them, recombine them, and always come up with a different structure. This way, a rainbow turns into a tunnel, a balance game, or part of a fantasy world.

The Montessori-inspired design provides space to experiment with shape, size, proportion, and space at one's own pace. During building and moving, opportunities arise simultaneously to practice coordination and problem-solving thinking through play.

Thanks to the lightweight PE foam, the shapes are easy to reposition. The durable PVC artificial leather cover is practically easy to keep clean, and when the play is over, the three parts fit neatly back into each other.

With the calm combination of Beige, White and Grey Beige, the Rainbow Montessori also fits perfectly into a play area where creativity, movement, and a sophisticated look come together.
