Product Description

Editorial Review

Big interlocking block sets often come with too few pieces to really discover the joys of building. Not so with the Maxi Large Mega Bloks. This set has enough blocks to build a skyscraper and still share more blocks with playmates. Ninety-nine blocks--oversized for small hands--come in green, yellow, white, blue, purple, and red. All pieces are made of smooth, durable plastic. Two people and one car are included as snap-on accessories. All of it fits into a see-through storage bag that zips up and has a carrying handle for easy transport. --Lynne Sampson

At age one, my son was stacking two blocks and learning colors with these. At age two, he was counting as he stacked and learning to build higher and higher. Now at age three, he has mastered building tunnels big enough for his medium sized cars, building "zoos" and "farms" for his plastic animals, and adding ramps made of hard books! These blocks have ended up in the sandbox, in the tub, everywhere, and they still look great! We even bought him a second set so he could build even bigger buildings, and cleaning up is a snap when you turn it into a game of who can fill the bag faster. They are lightweight and snap together much more easily than the Duplo blocks (although he loves those too), plus they clean up nicely in the top rack of your dishwasher if a child-who-shall-remain-nameless leaves a few under a bush in the backyard for months on end, hee-hee-hee. Well worth the money!

My 14 month old loves these blocks! It's the main thing that he plays with. Although he only builds them up to 3 blocks high before he destroys his creation, it provides him with hours of entertainment each day. In fact, "block" was just recently added to his 6-word vocabulary. It's the only toy he asks for by name! We originally bought these blocks for his older sister when she turned 2 years old. They were not on her favorites list until recently (she's 3 now). I think that it's just one of those differences between boys and girls. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this product. The blocks are big -- so, no chocking hazard. I also suggest that you go ahead and buy the large pack of blocks. That way, as they grow older and their skills increase, they will have enough blocks to build almost anything. The large pack also provides enough blocks to share with other children without the arguments.

5.0 out of 5 stars BETTER THAN LEGOS FOR SMALL CHILDREN!, September 26, 2001

I must admit, I always steered clear of these Mega Blocks, because they weren't Legos. Legos are cool, these are "fake Legos," I'd think. BUT, after receiving some as a gift, I wonder what my kids used to play with before they had these. Our sons are ages three and a half, and sixteen months, and they both really enjoy building all sorts of things with these blocks. Even our younger son can successfully build things. They fit together very easily and securely, much better than the Duplo Legos. Plus, they have a larger variety of sizes, lending to more creative building. I am very pleased with these and would love more! We'll stockpile the Legos when the boys are older :)
