6 no-snap Christmas crackers with Santa’s friends building blocks

About this product

About 10 in (25 cm) long each, the 6 crackers in the box come in a paper candy-box style with no snap. The listing says they contain 6 different Christmas-themed building blocks, plus a paper hat and a joke or motto in each. The gift box measures 30.5 x 30.5 x 5.5 cm and the blocks are plastic.

The seller says the crackers can also hang on a Christmas tree, and that an unpulled cracker can be opened and refilled with your own small gifts or biscuits. The age information in the listing disagrees with itself: one line says adult consumers (14+) and another says 6 months and up, so check the age guidance on Amazon before giving them to young children.

What to use it for

Hang them on the tree, or leave one at each of six places at the table. Pull them at the meal for the hat, the joke and the building block.

Care and safety

The blocks are small and easy to lose, so keep them in a bag once the crackers are open. Until the meal, store the box flat and dry.
