It’s a great bag with a zipper and handle. Each set comes with a net bag to hold them. My kids won’t break them and I know they will last for years. The blocks are very strong, bold colors, and strong. Of course, my kids immediately made the dragon pull the carriage so it could fly. They also can stack on each other (a person riding a cow), ride the wagon or carriage, and an animal can pull the carriage. The legs can make them either fit on the edge or top of a block. Very simple with bold colors and details. I frequently find the animals and people walking on a path over hot lava or floating on a raft through a raging sea. Or randomly stick them together and imagine it is something amazing. They also choose to use the pieces as rafts and other play items. So, while I mostly help them create buildings, they can build simple chairs or small squares. My kids are able to build creatively on their own. The floors offer greater stabilization to the whole object. I did alter the directions a bit, mainly to include floors even when not called for. At 2 and 4, my kids aren’t able to follow the directions themselves, some were even a bit hard for me, but I can imagine kids 6+enjoying the simple instructions without help. The directions are pictures only, so there is no language barrier or no reading ability required. Believe the difficulty ratings! The castle is difficult to build, a chair or crib is much easier. The items included in the directions are rated by difficulty. Once buildings are completed, they can easily be taken apart piece by piece but not easily broken. My 4 year old has thrown and attempted to smash completed buildings and they’ve held. If they just tuck into each other, like on the curved barn roof, they don’t hold together at all and must be supported by other things. They also come apart easily, which is great for taking it apart to rebuild but hard when building a large wall. They fit well together both on the sides and front-back. The Little Tikes Waffle Blocks are easy to put together. We don’t even try to store them separately, it’s just one big bag of fun! My kids were quick to mix pieces and colors together. Plus vibrant colored blocks and extra parts to build specific things (like platforms, steps, and roofs).Ĭombine the two sets for even more fun. They each come with characters and animals to add to the play. Both a very fun and full of multiple building options. I vaguely remember waffle blocks from my childhood, so was very excited to hear about Little Tikes coming out with them! They have created two sets: a castle and a farm. I love watching them use their imagination to build, play, and combine with other toys. It comes out of the cupboard on a daily basis. Now they LOVE their waffle block collection. Typically they eat the waffles, so they were a bit confused when I introduced them to waffle blocks. My kids love building, imaginary play, and waffles.
