What is the main benefit of Plus Plus blocks?

Troubleshooting

Blocks don't connect easily

Ensure the pieces are aligned correctly. Sometimes, a slight twist or jiggle can help them interlock firmly. Check for any debris or damage on the connection points.

Difficulty following instructions

For younger children, an adult may need to guide them through the steps. Encourage them to focus on one step at a time. Alternatively, focus on free play if the instructions are proving too challenging.

Pieces are difficult to separate

Grip the blocks firmly near the connection point and gently pull them apart. If they are tightly interlocked, try a slight wiggling motion.

Color mix is not as expected

The 'Fire Car' set comes with a specific mix of red, orange, and yellow. If other colors are desired, mix with other Plus Plus sets.
