Castle
(think mini Château de Chambord—big blocky keep, two pointy roofs, a little gatehouse off the side)
Two linked cubes form a chunky “keep”; snap two mats on top at right angles for the twin pitched roofs, then hinge one extra mat to the side as a gate-ramp. Toddlers crawl in, pop up under a roof, duck out the gate, repeat - non-stop squat-crawl-stand cardio that burns energy fast.
Specs:
- Mats: ≈48 pcs
- Build time: ≈15 min (ten if snacks are involved)
- Difficulty: Advanced
That's the gist - castle vibes, instant toddler workout, zero overthinking. 📸 Tag me if you try it!

- Puzzle Play Mats(I started with 4 packs which has been enough for all the builds shown here. Of course, more mats = more building possibilities!)
