I just received and have not given this toy to my 3 year old grandson. It is a simple, well designed toy that I think will be perfect for this age group. What 3 year old doesn't like to build a structure and then knock it over? It is safe to use inside, but still gives the effect of a small explosion. I predict my 3 year old and 5 year old grandsons will have a hard time waiting for their turn. Which brings me to my one criticism. At $39.95 it is overpriced. Simple toy with simple parts.

Fun toy for cause & effect, experimenting, and non-messy “mess”
I was given this toy to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. My first response was, "A toy with dozens of pieces that get launched all around the room? I have enough messes to clean." But after 30m playing with my 2&4yo, I changed my tune. They had fun taking turns building, stomping, and gathering the foam blocks. We geeked out with experiments to figure out what combination would launch pieces the highest. When done, the blocks fit nicely in the base upside-down.

To $$$ for what you get
The idea of these blocks is great. My daughter loves building "towers" with the blocks and stomping on the pedal to make them go boom! The blocks being soft mean that I don't have to worry about her getting hurt or them breaking anything when they hit. I do have to say I was very disappointed at the price for quality. Not worth $50!

Cute game - kind of expensive - kids liked it
Cute game for kids who like to knock things over - but picture is deceiving - blocks don't fly up as high as the picture suggests. Its nice that the blocks are made of foam so it's not noisy. Gave three stars because it's kind of pricey for a plastic toy. It comes in two pieces - the step on part and the platform where the blocks are stacked. I was afraid to disassemble it because for fear of breaking off the little nubs that connected the step to the base. We'll see how long it lasts.

We are sorry to hear you found the blast height underwhelming. It may help to press on the pad a few times to stretch it out a bit. We also suggest concentrating your build closer to the center to achieve a higher blast.

A good time!
Fun toy
Creativity and action. My grandson loves to build with block. The launch is even more fun for him.
The blocks are soft and safe.
He says look Granny and blast them off. I always act surprised and he loves it.

KaBlocks are fun for all.
The KaBlocks were a hit. My grandson loved building then stomping the pedal to send them skyward. He also let us build some towers too. He still had to stomp the pedal though.

It’s not amazing
This is just okay. Soooo expensive for what you actually get. The blocks don’t really blast like you’re picturing in your head. They kind of do a jump up and my 4 year old was not super entertained. She likes building them on the platform but the blast is more like a blah!

BEST gift
The BEST gift ever for 26 month old grandson. It is now 3 weeks later, and he chooses it first every morning, and often through the day.

No Replacement Membrane for When It Breaks
We've had this toy for several years now. It was never particularly engaging. My boys ended up just playing with the foam blocks. My biggest complaint is that the membrane of the base broke and there is no replacement membrane. We always fix things when we can, and now this big plastic base will end up in the trash since no replacement membrane is available. I can't imagine that we are the only family who experienced this. Just something to consider before buying this toy.
