Mommy's Favorite Things: MEGA Bloks Review & Giveaway

MEGA Bloks Review & Giveaway




For such a MEGA name it deserves a MEGA logo right??

We received a new toy from MEGA Brands for review. It's the Domino Build Game. 
Sorry, I can't get these rotated for some reason.




So the animal Bloks are to be taken apart. Each player chooses a card with an animal on it in the beginning. That is the animal you will be assembling.

Then you play dominos, you have a draw pile and each player grabs cards. If there is a card that can be played like a Domino you lay it down. If you can't get a match, you draw again until you can. Each time you make a match you put your pieces together, once an animal is completed that player wins. 

Each game can only take about 10 minutes which makes this a quick fun game for toddlers. It says 3+, I would say it's good until age 7 or even 8. They claim 3-6 though!

Avery really enjoys this game. As do I. It's fun. We can get a few good games in. I didn't think she'd get it at first but she does. In order to make it last longer we each put together 2 animals. It takes about 10-15 minutes per game. 

I love it because it can easily take up an hour of the day, and that's perfect for winter. 

She's been wanting to play it daily, which is great!

MEGA Brands makes lots of other toys your child plays with, like Roseart and MEGA Puzzles. And of course all the other MEGA Bloks. So many things to choose from. They can be purchased on Amazon or any chain retailer. 

They have this new program too. It's called Family Club when you sign up (FREE by the way) You get
  • PRINTABLE COUPON for $5 off of any $30 or more Mega Bloks purchase;
  • Other exclusive OFFERS, CONTESTS, SWEEPSTAKES and PROMOTIONS on Mega Bloks toys;
  • Information on NEW Mega Bloks toys for kids ages 1 to 6
  • An EDUCATIONAL and INFORMATIVE BLOG by a leading panel of mom bloggers with articles on the benefits of construction toys, product reviews, pictures and more;
  • FREE EMAIL NEWSLETTER with great new building ideas, toys for kids ages 1 and up and more.

Price: This game is $10.99 on Amazon! GREAT!! It's perfect for a Birthday or Christmas gift too.

Overall: ***** It's cheap, something that can be played daily and it's fun for the family.


 *Disclaimer* I received these products directly from Team Mom for Review. I was not paid to try out these products*
A Big Thank you goes out to Team Mom and MEGA Brands for allowing me to review this product!
