Toys and Games Reviews of Don't Break the Ice
Customer Review: A Classic - though, of course not, "made like they used to"
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids 4 & 6 got this for Christmas and they both love it, though my 4 yr old loves it more. This is a game that is short enough that they can play it together over and over again and it keeps their attention. It takes my 6 yr old to "build" the ice into the tray though. The box that this comes in is very cheap (like most of them nowdays), you may want to get a plastic bin with lid to keep the pieces in. Also, nearly impossible to fit everything back into the original box (especially for little kids). I was surprised at first how much they played it over and over again, but then remembered how much my sister and I loved to play it when we were kids :).Customer Review: Mom to a 4yr old

The is a classic game, whose appeal has not been lost. NO batteries or flashing lights etc... My little girl at 3 loved this game. It was one of the first games she could play, that the adults(aunts, uncles etc) and older kids (8&9 yr old neighbors, cousins) were willing to play with her and not be bored themselves. So consequently she got to play again and again. The downfall is it does take an older child or adult for setup. So if you need a game to draw your toddler into the mix at family get togethers, this is it. We have not had problems with durability like the other reviewers.Customer Review: Tedious set up for short game time.

Fitting in all of the blocks of ice for less than a minute of actual game time quickly becomes tiresome for the person putting it together. Also, if any of the blocks of 'ice' get lost the game would be useless. Not a good idea for a toy being used by a 3 year old. The kids thought pounding on the cubes was fun, especially when several blocks fell at once but I fail to see what educational value the toy has for the 5 and under set when all they want to do is see the bear fall through. This is one I'd like to hide on a high shelf.Customer Review: This one is a classic

I loved this game as a child. We still have the one I played with 16 years ago.Break the Ice is a simple game anybody can play. There is a man sitting on a big piece of ice. You want to knock out the pieces around him, but not knock out piece that will send him falling. It's simple enough but it does take some stratedgy.
We have a lot of kids that come through my house for different reasons, and I've never met one that didn't get a kick out of this game. It's a fun family game and a must for a small child.
Customer Review: Love to break the ice!

A wonderful classic toy! Buy it and keep it for life! I would only like to see this toy produced as it was originally. The frame, blocks and hammers are not as heavy duty as they used to be and it was the first thing I noticed...to the maker...they kids will play with it but the parents are buying it and classic toys that aren't as we remember them are dissapointing. We await an "Original" version and we will keep it for life!
