Advantages: Good bricks

Disadvantages: None

Mobilo children's construction bricks are really good for small children particularly those with poor dexteritory they are suitable for children aged 3 to 7 years old. Those at key stage 1 and 2. Be wary though with younger children as some of the pieces can be quite small and if children put them in the mouth it is possible they might swallow.

This set is a fantastic set with 80 pieces it includes standard 1 and 2 cube brick pieces triangular slope pieces. Flat ladder like pieces of varying lengths a few heads and a few wheels there are connector pieces too.

To describe mobilo bricks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are not conjoining bricks like Lego but open cubes that are joined together by flexible connecting disks. These discs fit into a mobile brick easily and another mobilo block is easy to join onto it. The pieces snap together securely and will not come apart unless pulled apart. These bricks are good for developing fine motor skills.

Mobilo is made of a very strong plastic it really is robust. The pieces are glossy coloured in primary colours.


Educational value,
~~~~~~~~~~
I have played alongside and with children and Mobilo I think this set is good
With it you can make a number of models airplanes, rockets, cars, houses many, many things. I like the addition of wheels and people in this set so these no need to buy extra sets of these.

These bricks will encourage a child's imagination and their creativity. Very good for developing manual skills.
Children will learn to understand things by copying it with Mobilo. Mobilo sets are often found in nursery and special schools as they are so good.
