I really love the idea of the big waffle blocks. My kids are 2, 4, and 5, so the perfect ages to play together and enjoy the same types of toys. The kids were very excited as soon as they saw the box. When we started building together we realized it took my husband and I to actually get most of the pieces interlocked as the kids were struggling with lining it up right and pushing them in together strength wise. No big deal. Then as we started to build things we realized that something had to be really solid to stay together well. A cube stayed together well, but making a tunnel looked good until they tried crawling through. Seemed like the smallest bump to the side had the edges come right apart from one another and crash to the floor. Unfortunately for us, we have all hard wood floors and the sound of it crashing down in our apartment was a giant boom and echo every time. If we had a carpet, I'm sure this would not have been an issue, but hardwood floors and upstairs neighbors with these blocks aren't mixing well. I do still love the concept. I just wish they stayed together a bit better.
