Built differently. So they can build bigger.
We put more into the pieces that matter. Two thick bases and two full-length trapeziums mean more to build with, more support for bigger creations, and a seriously comfy couch when playtime is over.
bigger, sturdier builds
Two full-length trapeziums give Whatsie builds more support and stability, so kids can build bigger, climb higher and create more.
double the thick stuff
Two thick bases mean more substantial foam to build, stack and climb with, plus a properly comfy spot for lounging, reading or piling on for movie night.
zip. unzip. rebuild.
Zip the bases together when you want a proper couch, then pull them apart when it’s time to play. More pieces to move, stack and build with, without sacrificing a sturdy everyday setup.
