How large are the pieces, how easy to break?

I have a little dog about 12 lbs. I just broke the pieces by hand. I found them very easy to break. Sophie had no problems chewing the pieces.

The pieces are various sizes and they are very easy to break into smaller bites. Our dogs are different sizes and various ages. Easy to break for the older dogs and easy for them to chew. The product is a positive addition to our everyday training and terrific for their overall nutrition. We also feed Science diet for their main nutrition.

The pieces are medium to large in size but very easy to break into smaller pieces. Each piece is scored which helps with breaking them.

The pieces range in size from 4 inch squares to 1 inch bits, with every size and shape in between. They are relatively easy to break, but they don't come apart uniformly.

Some pieces are large, but they are scored and very easy to break by hand. They are a good treat.

It is decently big, probably over a foot in diameter. I bought it for my 4 year old nephew and it is a good size for him. The wood and small pieces are pretty light and simple.

They are 3 3/4 inches in diameter. I have had one break but the rest are still in perfect condition after owning for quite some time.

Well... they are pretty sturdy but..... also a little fragile. I bought them for my 3 yo girl who played appropriately with them and my 2 year old son slowly crushed and broke off pieces over time.

All the sizes below are correct. I would add that these can easily be managed by a two-year old for building roads and stacking. They are smooth wood with no splinters. They will last forever. I've seen them used in multiple ways and if you are concerned about small pieces, remove the two smallest blocks (quarter circles the size of small egg) from the box--the kids will never notice.

Not sure but I am 305 lbs and I dont feel like it is going to break. They are metal not plastic so they feel sturdy enough. Not like the kind I broke at a wedding a few years back.

We have had them for about six months with no breakage. My kids aren't too rough but they aren't gentle either. They play with them regularly and there hasn't been a single issue, even with the ones my five year old has. I would say they are pretty sturdy.

Hi Charles, I am not very good at this type of stuff, but they are about the size of an average chess piece and have a little weight behind them - they are not light. We are happy with them. I did order another set of medieval pieces that we returned very disappointed prior to this set. We have younger kids and they did break a piece early on by being too rough, but the company sent us one immediately at no charge. Not sure if that is always their policy, but a very good experience. ~l

Hi, I did measure the pieces... they are smaller than I had remembered. About 1.5" long. Not suitable for your needs.I wouldn't say they are 'large' ... but they are definitely not really small. I can measure and get back to you....

The pieces are quite small; I would say approximately half the size of normal pieces. The set was a present, so I cannot measure the pieces.

The pieces are pretty big. We love Melissa and Doug products. We would definitely buy them again

They aren't very big at all. Maybe 3 - 4 inches long. I was afraid that if I stood on them they'd break. If I had known how small they were I'd have never bought them.

The pieces are easily amovible in general, but I don't know about that :( sorry
