Pancake Pile-Up, Best Lower Elementary School 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!

Lots of Ways to Play
My son is 3 and received this for Christmas. Our older child is 6 and this is a game they can both play together. To make it a bit easier and reduce strife we created âlevelsâ and made it more cooperative. Level 1: Follow the recipe card – each child has their own card. Child practices reading the card, sequencing, and fine motor skills with the spatula. I have them play cooperatively so no one âwinsâ until both dishes are complete and correct. Level 2: 1 recipe card and person who completes theirs first (always the 6 yr old) becomes head chef and gets to coach the other until both dishes are complete. Level 3: Box and cards are on same side of the room. As intended, the goal is for the child to move across the room without dropping their pancake, but they have the benefit of the box being right next to the cards to help them figure out what they need next. Level 4: Box and cards are at opposite sides of the room. Here the child has to remember the pancake type run across the room to get it and bring it back to the plate, so it adds a bit more difficulty. You can also divide the objects (card, box with pancakes, and plates) across 3 locations which can make it easier depending on the distance.My son regularly requests âPancake gameâ, at least once a week. Most times heâs just happy playing alone or with Mommy, where we sit next to each other and complete recipe cards. This is definitely a game he can grow with. I could also imagine this being so much fun for a classroom or party full of kids where it can be a real relay race. Overall, highly recommend!

Fun interactive
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

Active and engaging game for siblings + great gift
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

My 4 year olds LOVE it!
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.

Fun, versatile and educational
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!

We haven’t ever played by the rules, but this has provided hours of fun for the kids. The box is really good quality, and the game pieces are easy to hold.

So cute! Played with my 4 year old and 7 year old and during lockdown weâd put the pancakes on the other side of the house and make them run for exercise! Theyve played it about 5-6 times in a week but I can see that although it is loved and fun itâll be a game to play just every now and then as it is quite limited. Still super cute and would be the best gift. We donât play it in relays either, just 2 kids against each other

Love this game!! My 2 year old made me play all 10 cards, one after another! He loves it and I can see the whole family getting involved for a silly race to stack pancakes!Nice and quick for those with short attention spans but it gets people active so that can only be a good thing.The pancakes are small, only about 8cm in diameter and the spatulas are quite small too. Perfect for little people and comical for adults to use!! They are a thick, softish plastic. The spatulas are a hard plastic and the cards and plates are cardboard.Good buy, if a little expensive but I think this will be a favourite and will last for a long time.

Bisogna preparare pan cake impilandoli correttamente nell’ordine indicato dalla carta menu. Però bisogna farlo portando in giro i pancake da un punto iniziale ad un punto finale usando solo la paletta e attraversando un percorso che si può inventare in casa o all’aperto. Si può giocare in due, in staffetta a squadre o da soli mettendosi alla prova sui tempi. Un gioco per bimbi dai 3 ai 6 anni che piace anche ai grandicelli per la sfida che si crea. Ottima la qualità dei pancake in plastica morbida e delle carte. Lo potete vedere in azione giocato alla fine del nostro video Facciamo i pan cake sul canale YouTube GBR.
