Mega Bloks

For Christmas 2007 I decided I wanted to buy some kind of building tool for my then 14 month old son. There were various options available but the product that seemed most suitable for his age were Megabloks. Megabloks can be purchased in numerous different quantities and with different themes. The many different products available can be seen on their website www.megabloks.com. The prices quoted on this site are in Canadian Dollars, but items can be found in stores in the UK such as Argos and Toys R Us. The company that produce MegaBloks are Mega brands. They also produce other items the most well known being Magnetix. The particular package we chose was a ...  Read the complete review

As a child I spent many happy hours playing with Lego. Bricks would be spread across my playroom floor providing a nasty shock to anyone who entered barefoot the bricks blending artfully with the lurid 70s carpet. Roll forward 30 years and again I find myself playing with bricks, only this time the carpet is a more tasteful neutral colour and the bricks are significantly larger. Mega blocks are very similar to traditional Lego, just much bigger. The brightly coloured bricks connect together in the same way as Lego and imagination is the only limitation on what can be created. The large plastic bricks have rounded corners and are ideal for small ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely love mega bloks, I personally feel they can provide so much fun for children. They encourage children to use their imagination to make fun for themselves. All mega bloks vary in size and colours. The bigger sized mega bloks though are aimed for children 12months plus, this is what I bought for my twins for Christmas. I bought a Maxi bad in Early Learning Centre for just over £12, although you can buy the big bags in places such as Argos, Asda etc for roughly the same price. The bag the mega bloks are stored in are brilliant for storage and keeping your place tidy when your child has finished with them. The bag zips up so not easy for your child to ...  Read the complete review

My son currently has a set of Mega Bloks which were given to him a while ago as a gift from my Aunt. They are packaged in a translucent polythene bag with an easy zip opening at the top. Inside the bag are a total of 100 pieces. Each piece is brightly coloured and chunky with no small parts to be detached. For the purposes of this review I have conducted an online search of the exact product in order to give an idea of price. However, I have found that the packaging appears to have now been re-designed and the quantity reduced somewhat. Amazon.co.uk currently stock what I believe to be the most current version of this product at £13.99, although this only ...  Read the complete review

Mega Blocks have been around for years and years. They tend to basically be a starter set for young children which act as an introduction to Lego in later years. There really is no lower age limit for Mage Blocks as the pieces are so big to start with that no baby will be able to fit any in their mouths. My daughter was bought a pot of Mega blocks for Christmas last year when she was six months old. She couldn't do a lot with the blocks back then but look at the bright colours, but the best is yet to come. Sets of Mega Blocks come in different sizes, shapes and themes. You can get sets targeted at girls featuring the Disney Princesses, sets for boys, ...  Read the complete review
