The kids have collected a few of the classic bags of the Maxi size Mega Bloks. I like the Maxi size for a few reasons. First, it allows the kids to build something BIG. And building something big is FUN! Second, we don't have to worry about our baby getting a hold of them. In fact, she loves playing with them too. OK, so she mostly just bangs them together or throws them, but if you saw the huge smile on her face when she does it, you'd understand just how fun it is. Now, the main reason I like the Maxi sized blocks is that they are easy to clean up. Have you ever gotten up in the middle of the night, half asleep, stumbling into the kitchen for a drink of water, only to suddenly "find" the one tiny block that was missed at cleanup time? Yup, just stepping on one of those little suckers is enough to make you want to throw all of them in the trash! OUCH!
Back to the fun part. My kids are awesome! They have promising futures in architecture and engineering, and we owe it all to Mega Bloks. OK, maybe that statement is a little extreme. But playing with the Mega Bloks sure brings out their creativity. Here are a few of their "masterpieces".
See what I mean? Fun, right? Do you know what else is fun? Using the blocks as teaching tools for preschoolers and young children!
They are GREAT for:
 |
| Copying. Can you build what I build? |
 |
| Sorting. Sort by color, shape, or size. |
 |
| Patterns. Which color comes next? |
 |
| Math. 3+2=5 |
Mega Bloks Maxi Blocks are tons of fun and educational too! They are definitely a family favorite toy!

We are due to buy some more legos or Mega Blocks. My current stash has been scattered throughout the house!
Isn't it weird, the places you end up finding them? LOL
