Advantages: Easy constuction set

Disadvantages: None

During my years working with special needs children I have grown to love Mobilo.
Mobilo is a plastic construction system.

The set I am reviewing today is a 54piece set this comes in a square yellow bucket with a lid. The lid has shapes cut out of it so that the mobilo can be posted through them when it is tidied away. The plastic mobilo bricks come in bright red, yellow and blue.
These shapes are not solid shapes. But open ones. They clip together with the connectors that are included in the set.

There are a range of shapes in this box .The basic cube which measures 3.5cm. There are double cubes and triangular cubes single and double size. There are flat bricks which to me look a bit like a ladder. There are several sets of wheels. The wheels come as two which are attached either side of a fixing this is the width of 1 cube 3,5 cm. With this set come several mobilo people heads these can be fitted to the bricks to make people

Mobilo is easy to fit together and make an assortment of models. This construction system is very versatile. It is far easier than Lego type bricks. Although the pieces fit together easily just push and clip. They hold together securely.

These bricks are great for children's construction skills .Suitable for children over 3. They will fire your child's imagination and help develop manipulative skills, fine and gross motor.
Good for language development to learn the colours and shapes as they use them. Although the pieces

Mobilo pieces go on and on last a long time. They are a non toxic strong plastic. They wash easily I do this periodically as they do get mouthed and chewed
This 54 piece set would be ideal for home and as an add on or a starter set in school or play group

Do I recommend ? Yes

Summary: A simple construction set for 3 year olds and over
