The chocolate roof does not work
2 out of 5 stars
Bummed out candy construction - 4 years ago
originally posted on http://www.learningresources.com
I will say this - the chocolate roof does NOT fit. The distance between the orange sticks when you make the "candy cottage" is too large for the chocolate pieces. Or the chocolate pieces are too small for the area between the orange sticks.
So if you hook it from the top - which in the instructions it clearly states to do it FROM THE BOTTOM, it still does not reach.
End of the day - all the pieces do not work so this is a FAIL. Which is sad bc we love this company. It's way too expensive to be wasting money.

Chocolate pieces don't work

I bought two of these as gifts, and both sets had the same problem as other reviewers have mentioned: the pieces don't stick together. The connections on the chocolate pieces, in particular, appear to be too short. The holes on some of the candies may also be too big for the connections to fit snuggly. I tried to build the car, and it was completely impossible for me, let alone my 3 1/2 year old. I am so terribly disappointed, as this toy had the potential to be really great! I am considering making a YouTube video showing how poorly this product works so that other kids and parents aren't let down like we were.
Perfect for our Gingerbread Village

My 5 year old has really started using this set. She is doing a great job following the instructions to build particular projects, then coming up with her own. However, the blue and green rectangular pieces have been breaking apart. Soon we will not have enough to complete designs.
My class loves this, BUT....

I purchased a set of these for my prekindergarten class. One wasn't enough, so I ordered another. They love building with them BUT the green and blue pieces break easily. Some literally broke the very first day they were used.
Disappointed with toy quality

I thought this toy looked so cute and would be great for my classroom, especially as a December center. After only 2 or 3 days of use (with small groups), several of the blue and green blocks broke apart and cannot be used. I purchase most classroom items with personal funds, and was disappointed this didn't last very long.

Three year old twins love building with this set! It's helping them develop finger strength because the pieces have to be pushed in firmly to stick (we've had no problems with anything being too loose). The girl thinks she might want to be an architect because of this set :-)

We bought this for our Pre-K students. It's frustrating as the pieces don't stick together securely so the things students try to create fall apart. We tried to build the Yummy Buggy, which is the first example in the booklet and it doesn't even stay together. Not pleased with this product.
Disappointing, frustrating toy for all!!

The children were excited to see the bright colours of this building set but that is where the excitement ended. The pieces do not stay together when attempting to construct the toys in the booklet. The green and blue connectors, the chocolate panels and the bendy twists do not snap/hold together which makes building frustrating and a HUGE disappointment.
Won't stay together. Waste of money

Would never recommend this product. Maybe kids may have enjoyed it at age 2-3 for the colour but if you think your kids could actually build anything forget it. The pieces don't stick together at all. Unless you use glue all you have is a big box of colourful plastic and disappointed kids.
