Finally, finally, finally! The kids in our family had these wonderful blocks back about 18 years ago. They disappeared about five or so years later and the only way to get them were on the online auctions.
As one niece and nephew after another entered our family, I searched for those blocks to buy them for their birthdays and other holidays. They were not in any store. Little Tikes had apparently dropped them. Why? I have no idea, as they were very popular.
As I was surfing the internet a couple of weeks back, I saw them. I was very happy, but I do not have too many children left to buy them for. I am, however, glad for the other children out there who will not be deprived of these fantastic children’s blocks.
The basic set of building blocks features an assortment of blocks in a bucket. I do not know if Little Tikes brought back all of the sets that they had back then, but they were great. They were the basic colors of red, blue and yellow, I believe. They also made them in pastel colors. There was a cottage, a space station, a castle and more.
The Little Tikes Waffle Blocks are a must have for anyone with children. They are great for little hands and easy for them to be a success at building. They will give your children great confidence in his or her building skills, as they are interlocking blocks and easily joined with other blocks.
If you have children of your own or children in your family who are in the two to five year old range please buy them a set of these blocks. They were such a big hit that “due to popular demand” they were brought back. Hooray! Thank you, Little Tikes!
