Waffle blocks are very popular type of plastic building blocks. In these sets, each piece have pegs and square holes, and you can connect pieces in multiple ways to build both 2D and 3D crafts. The bricks connect to each other seamlessly, almost like in a jigsaw puzzle, so you can make endless combinations in any order you want. There are many brands of waffle building blocks, Gakken and Plus Plus are the most popular and well-known ones. This, however, is rarer Malysh building waffle kit.

Blocks by different manufacturers may look different. In Plus Plus sets, for example, all blocks are exactly the same, the only difference is color. This old ex-USSR Malysh building waffle kit, however, has pieces of differnet shapes, and some extras, like figurines or wheels. There are also a number of long, bar-like pieces that help connect waffle blocks together. You can stack many waffles on one bar, which helps to create thick and solid crafts.

The waffle blocks themselves are small, each side of a block has only one or two pegs. Some blocks has H-shape and no pegs at all on some sides. This is a downside, because you can’t connect anything on these sides. Sometimes, however, these pieces are very handy, because you can stuck them in small openings to support the craft around it. It all other regards, it is a typical waffle block building kit with small pieces.

Igrushkin Building Set

The window sill support (on the left) is from the another constructor. We wanted to do with something new, but it didn’t work out. 🙁 Maybe it’s because there are very few parts (58), maybe it’s because we’re already used to Gakken and automatically assume to use details that Igrushkin doesn’t have. For example, arcs or straight sticks. Or maybe it’s just that this set is “not ours” and is waiting for its master :)) In addition, the wheels in Igrushkin set do not hold on at all, and this making a whole bunch of crafts impossible. But the fact that the details are large is a clear advantage.
