I bought these for my daughter 1 and a half years ago when I was purchasing items from Argos for her 1st birthday. I had picked something which was £10.00 but in the 2 for £15 range so I thought that I might aswell pick another gift for the extra £5.00 and these were it.

I was pleasently surprised when these were handed to me as I didn't think that there would be as many in the bag as there were - 70 pieces in all!!! The blocks were made up of 1pc, 2pc, 3pc and 4pc in length (if you know what I mean?!?! Lengthwise - I cant think of a better way to describe it). There were pink, purple, white and blue blocks in the bag although other packs are availale with different colour scemes in.

When she recieved them she wasn't that interested in them so my 6 year old decided to claim them for herself and spent hours playing with them building different castles and houses :) It wasn't until my youngest was over 2 years old that she began to play with them, as soon as she did they became a firm favourite with her and replaced her other toys for a good while! She has stopped playing with them as much but I still see them appearing around 3 times a week.

The bricks are nice and chunky so easy for small children to grasp and could help improve their hand-eye co-ordination and their creativity. Another thing that I like with these are that you can expand the collection with other Mega Blocks from this size range and they can all be played with together rather than having to purchace a new set and play with them separatley.

This set can be purchaced from Argos for £14.97 at the moment in 'Pink' or multicoloured (70pc bag) or you could pay the extra 2 pence as they have a set on sale at the moment - 100pc Pony bag with added animals for £14.99 (think I might expand ours with these).

Overall highly recommended as they will keep childern amused for hours on end. (and adults come to think of it - my other half thinks I don't see him making what he wants when he is meant to be joining in the play)
