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

We own two sets of Mega Bloks; one which was bought for my eldest daughter (now fourteen) when she was a few months old, and the second set I purchased in Boots a couple of weeks back. The fact that we still have and play with the original set is all I really need to say about the durability of them, apart from the fact that for the past six years they've lived exclusively outside and are still in perfect nick!  Brilliant. Hang on, let me backtrack. For those of you who don't know (and I bet most of you do), Mega Bloks are basically Lego bricks for toddlers. They fit together in the same way and have the  same basic shape, only a Mega Blok is about twenty ...  Read the complete review

My friend gave me a huge bag of Megablocks for my daughter as her son had outgrown them and this was fantastic for two reasons - one being that it was a really lovely gift, and the second being that it meant if my daughter wasn't keen on them it wouldn't be as disappointing as if I had been out and bought them for her. I had been thinking about getting her some blocks to play with as she didn't really have anything like that and when we would visit my friend she would quite often play with this kind of thing. The set we were given had a large amount of blocks in there, and some have eyes, feet and hands which meant she could make some cool looking figures. ...  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
