Educational Insights Pancake Pile-Up, Sequence Relay Board Game for Preschoolers, For 2-4 Players, Easter Basket Stuffers for Kids, Gift for Kids Ages 4+

Great kid's birthday party ice breaker.

Lots of fun for a 2 year old to take pancake "orders" from other folks in the room and deliver them on a spatula. Not quite ready to be playing it as a game, yet, but we're having fun with it until that day arrives.The pancakes and spatulas are sturdy and should last a long time.HIghly recommend!

As long as no pieces get lost, this game is AWESOME. My 4 year old twins LOVE to run back and fourth across the living room, building their pancake piles, while my job (perfect for a tired mom) is to shuffle the card deck and then say, "Ready, set, go!" while I sit there and watch them race back and fourth. They get exercise, laughs, and get to problem-solve, and I get to just sit and watch them have fun. Granted, it is a winner/loser game, so if you've got a preschooler or toddler who throws a fit when they lose, this will, inevitably, happen. However, that doesn't change the fact that the kids can still have fun and get a little exercise before that happens. The one downside is that only two kids can play at a time, so if you have more than two kids, you'll need to buy additional games (there are only enough pancakes for two piles in each round) and once a piece gets lost, you're out of luck. That said, if your kids like to play with pretend food, the pancakes and butter pats and spatulas can easily be repurposed to the pretend kitchen when they outgrow the game or if pieces get lost and you don't want to replace them. For a parent of multiples, this game is AWESOME--since the kids are at the same learning level, they're equal competitors and it keeps them busy AND they can play it by themselves (though mine prefer a grown-up to do the official "Ready, set, go!") I highly recommend this game.

Pancake Pile-Up is SOO MUch Fun for little kids!! You have to race across the room with your spatula and pick up pancakes and toppings from the grill (The inside of the box looks like a grill-Really Cute) and then race back to the other side of the room and stack your pancakes and toppings on your plate!! We played this from ages 3 to 7 years old. All of the children Loved it!

Fun! Easy to play even with a 1yr old, puts away efficiently in box, cards legible to understand, kids loved the joy of a new game, took a bit of practice but a fun indoor activity

Cute toy, good quality and value. My 4 year old grandson really likes it.

I got this game for my 3 and 6 year old. My 3 year old is working on motor skills, so the relay aspect of this game has been great for him. The boys understand that it is a race, but the game is so much fun that they don't event get upset if they "lose." I did not read the rules fully, just enough to get the gist of it so the boys could play. This game would be a great gift for kids 4-6, in my opinion (especially those with siblings).What I like:1. The game is adaptable to different ability and skill levels. I would say that any kiddo who could walk could play with an adult. You also could swap out the spatulas it came with for real spatulas!2. The kids learn how to follow written instructions (in picture form) and can self correct!What I don't love:1. I know that cards are going to get wrecked over time, especially as the boys start playing on their own. So, I may laminate them so they stay intact

Bought this for my almost 3 year old for National Pancake Day. She had an absolute blast playing with it. Great value for money, good quality, versatile and sturdy. My daughter doesn't put toys in her mouth so the small size of the butter cubes wasn't an issue for us. We play with this regularly with the cards and also for pretend play in her play kitchen. The cards for the game have been really great for teaching her about sequencing. Highly recommend!
