My oldest son’s taste in toys have really changed a lot in the last year or so as his fine motor skills have developed and his imagination has expended. I have to admit that his favourite activity is playing video games, but to ensure that he’s not spending too much time in front of a screen, I also like to make sure we have lots of more interactive toy choices for him.

The characters and models are also good for hours and hours of imaginative play once the building is complete!

Recently Mega Bloks Canada sent me three of its newest building sets to review. When I was younger, the only Mega Bloks available were the larger First Builders variety perfect for toddlers just learning to build or kids with larger-than-life dreams for their creation. But the company has changed a lot since then and now it has a variety of sets appropriate for all ages! My boys were so excited to see the Mega Bloks Fire Truck Finn First Builders set with the original building blocks I remembered from my own childhood and the Hot Wheels and Skylanders Giants Mega Bloks sets featuring small blocks perfect for older children!
