• Learn to walk with Mega Bloks

After 18 months of working on PlayPennies, I’m always surprised when I find a deal on something I never new existed. I’ve written about countless walkers, and multiple Mega Bloks deals, but I’ve never seen the Mega Bloks 3 in 1 Build and Go Walker before!

What makes this a special walker is that it combines a traditional walker with the creative fun of building. There’s a removable building plate where your little one can create designs to their heart’s content, and then show them off by pushing them around.

The box contains approximately thirteen pieces, and another bonus of this walker is that it folds quite flat for storage or easy transport.

If you're after some Mega Bloks fun that's a little different from the usual tubs of Mega Bloks bricks, then take a look at this Mega Bloks Play Table - it looks rather nifty and has been reduced down to £19.97 from £29.97.

• Click HERE to take a look at the Mega Bloks Play Table

The Mega Bloks Play Table is designed for little ones aged between one and two years old and if you've ever seen little ones engage with play tables, of any sort, you know they very quickly earn their keep!

This one comes with: four fun scenes, some stickers, a figurine and car along with 20 big colourful, soft blocks that can be stashed in the handy storage compartment; you can also fold the legs away to make it easy to store.

Reviews for the Mega Bloks Play Table are great...

"This is fab to build on and has a lovely bit of storage for some bricks and easy fold down legs. We bought this in the half price sale but would've definately bought it for full price as it has already given my 2 hours of fun. "

"I love the fact that you can store the blocks within the table, fold the legs up and take it with you when travelling."

All of my children loved playing at play tables and would, I'm sure, have had endless hours of fun with a Mega Bloks Play Table.

The 450 piece Mega Bloks Hello Kitty Scoop and Build Tub is on sale at Argos for £10.99 instead of £24.99. It’s currently available from an Amazon seller for £37.99. I can’t seem to find it available anywhere else.

• Scoop and Build with Hello Kitty and Mega Bloks

This seems to be quite a large set, with 450 pieces aimed at the over four age group, it also contains a sticker sheet and comes in a decorative storage bin. The lid of the storage bin can be used as a scoop for quick and easy cleaning up.

The blocks themselves are themed for summer and picnics, with a good sized Hello Kitty figure for playing with. There’s a boat, a picnic area and even special decorative blocks you can use the stickers on. Picnic done, Hello Kitty can pick fruit out of the trees and hide from the summer sun (!) under a red and yellow parasol.

The reviewers on it are all happy with it, and their children all seem to love it.  Seems like pretty good value for money!

Play.com have this bag of pink Mega Bloks available for £9.99 instead of £14.99, saving you £5 and throwing in free delivery.

• Build a tower out of Mega Bloks

I say ‘build a tower’ because that’s what my daughter tends to want to do with her Mega Bloks. She hasn’t really realised that you can do more than that, just yet. She likes building towers and knocking them down over me. It’s great entertainment, I tell you.

I wrote a full review of these Mega Bloks a while ago – have a read for full details.

This bag has 70 bricks, all in ‘primary classic or pink’ colour scheme. In other words, white, pink, blue and purple.

These bricks can apparently be mixed and matched with other ‘Maxi’ products and is suitable for children over 1 year of age. That said there was a 10 month old visiting recently and he treated the single ‘brick’ as a dummy – and there was no way he was going to swallow it!

Mothercare are selling the Mega Bloks Blok Town Safari Set for £9.99 instead of £19.99. It’s available for home delivery at £4.95, but you can get it in store for free.  The same thing is £24.99 at Amazon right now.

•  Go on Safari with Mega Bloks

This is quite a sweet looking set from Mega Bloks, which comes a figurine of the zoo keeper, an elephant, lion, two penguins, a monkey, a tree and a few other bits and pieces, making up 25 pieces all together.

With the additional bits you can build trees and habitats for the exotic animals.

I’m not entirely sure how compatible these blocks are with other blocks such as Lego, or even other Mega Bloks as these look way smaller than the Bloks we have, but it is suitable for children over 3 years, so I’m guessing it has some small parts.

Thanks to wishihadadonkey at HUKD

Argos have a box of Mega Bloks bricks on offer for less than half price. Usually retailing at £34.99, they’re now £14.99  - which is certainly better value for money.

• Build away with Mega Bloks

This Mega Bloks set contains 200 mini Bloks which can be used with other Mega block mini or micro products – that doesn’t clarify whether it’s useable with the regular Mega Bloks, which is rather frustrating and while you’d like to assume that it can be, I’m not 100% sure.

My daughter received a bag of Mega Bloks for her birthday and we reviewed them just last week, so have a read of that if you’ve never used Mega Bloks before.

These brightly coloured bricks can be stored in the box which is really useful too as you don’t want to end up with a house full of blocks.

These are suitable for children aged three and over, probably due to ‘small parts’ and have a  lifetime guarantee, although I’m not sure what that means!

The Mega Bloks 200 Piece Mini Tub from Argos has been reviewed by 23 people with an overall rating of 4.4 stars out of 5.

Everyone knows what Mega Bloks are, right? Well, actually no. Apart from the fact that they’re blocks and a little Lego or Duplo like, if you’ve never had Mega Bloks, you don’t actually know what they’re like!

My daughter received the Pink Bricks in a Bag Mega Bloks from a friend for her birthday, and she really enjoys playing with them.

The pack we received has 80 bricks, some with just one ‘spike’  or whatever it’s called, and some with up to six. The bricks come in a dark pink, light pink and white, with a small smattering of baby blue bricks thrown in for good measure.

The bricks are very light – much lighter than their size would lead you to think, especially if you’re familiar with LEGO and Duplo. I find the plastic to be really thin too, so as a whole they’re not as sturdy or solid. That said, they’re great for little hands, and too big for (most) little mouths, but even if they were able to get them in their mouths, there’s little to no chance of swallowing them, even the single sized Bloks.

The educational purpose of these blocks is to help stimulate creativity, imagination, problem solving and fine motor skills, and I’d agree that it does all of that. I guess my daughter is still a little young, but she will play with them on her own for just a few minutes, but if I’m playing with her, she’ll play for ages – especially if she can tip the towers out over me. That’s great fun.

The bag has a picture of a roof shaped block on it and ours didn’t contain one like that, so I don’t know if it’s just a picture, or a mistake in our pack, but it’s worth mentioning.

Also, the fact that it comes in a sturdy bag is really useful as it makes packing up and storage way less of a pain.

Mega Bloks are regularly on sale, and I like the fact that we can mix and match with other colour sets too, and overall I think it’s good value for money.

Tesco have reduced this Thomas and Friends 'Cranky at Brendam Docks' playset from £40 down to a rather wallet-friendly £10; awesome.

Ahhh, Thomas the Tank Engine - he's becoming an increasingly distant memory for me now as my youngest grows up, my 17 year relationship with the little blue engine is coming to an end as my eldest really isn't a fan anymore either.

I know that anything Thomas the Tank Engine is expensive, but if you keep an eye out for deals on this Thomas and Friends 'Cranky at Brendam Docks' playset  then you can save yourself lots of money and earn yourself lots of parental brownie points at the same time.

Your young Thomas fan will be able to help Thomas, Percy and Cranky the Crane load and unload loads of coal at Brendam Docks as long as they're over three years old - purely because of the small pieces included in the set I'm sure.

People who've already bought this Thomas and Friends 'Cranky at Brendam Docks' playset have plenty of good things to say about it...

"This was brought as a Christmas present and was the ONLY thing he played with all of Christmas Day. He loved it. Will buy more Mega Blocks to add to this."

"Excellent product with lots of different ways to build. My little boy loves to make up the cranky crane and uses it to lift the tucks and Thomas.Great imaginative play with easy to hold pieces. Has played with it every day and is able to create a new story every day. great interchangeable pieces too."

The countdown to Christmas day is really on now, there are six shopping days left and if you're still looking for presents then this Mega Bloks Blok Squad Fire Station may come to your rescue.

• Click HERE to look at the Mega Bloks Blok Squad Fire Station

A huge 750 pieces make up this Mega Bloks Blok Squad Fire Station and will keep building block fans amused for a fair few hours after all the Christmas pressies have been opened.  I had to laugh, one of the reviewers on Revoo has given this a thumbs up because there are lots of pieces - 956 according to them, rather than the 750 stated on the box, did they really sit and count them all out?!

They'll spend lots of time building the fire station building, its four rescue vehicles and then have a ton of fun making up role play games for the mini figures afterwards.

Originally £60, Tesco reduced it down to £30 and now down to £20.  You can arrange to have it delivered to your home but that's going to cost you an additional £5 so, even though it means facing the shopping hoards, I'd go and collect my Mega Bloks Blok Squad Fire Station in store for free.

If you have a young Thomas the Tank Engine fan in your household, or extended family, buying presents for them is dead easy.

Anything Thomas - whether it's branded as Thomas the Tank Engine or Thomas and Friends, is always expensive and is always guaranteed to make a bit of dent in your bank balance.

Such is the way of it, always has been and always will be so it pays to keep your eyes peeled for, and take advantage of, deals like this Mega Bloks Thomas at Misty Island set as and when they pop up.

There are 101 pieces to build and rebuild Thomas and James’ travel route through the mountains to Misty Island, using accessories like a lake, tunnels, break-through barricades and rock slides.

Mega Bloks Thomas At Misty Island comes with Thomas and James, well it would be a bit of a poor show without them, and is suitable for little Thomas fanatics aged three and over.

You can reserve and collect for free in-store, if your local store has stock, or you can arrange for home delivery within two working days and will cost you an additional £5.95.

• Click HERE to bag this Mega Bloks bargain

I wish Disney's Cars had been around when my oldest son was smaller, I would have had loads of fun playing with these Disney Cars Mega Bloks.

I love building things just as much as little kids do and whilst traditional Lego can take a little while to get to grips with, this tub of Disney Cars Mega Bloks is full of big chunky pieces that are the perfect size for little hands to deal with.

There are over 60 blocks in the Disney Cars Mega Bloks tub and it also comes with buildable figurines too, so your little one can recreate their favourite scenes from the Disney Cars movie.

They can make up adventures with Lightening McQueen - he was my youngest's favourite, but alas he's too 'big' for Mega Bloks now preferring instead to have me and his dad build him complicated Lego Star Wars models that take more than a couple of man hours.

The Disney Cars Mega Bloks tub is nice and sturdy and comes with a big lid so there's room to pack everything away again after an exhausting day of building.

Argos are selling this 1000-piece Mega Bloks Micro Tub for less than half-price - £8.99 instead of £29.99 and according the small print on the bottom of the item description, this selling price is only going to be valid for the rest of the day (we'll have to see whether it does actually change tomorrow...)

• Click HERE to go over to Argos

I'm not sure I'd pay £29.99 for this 1000-piece Mega Bloks Micro Tub - perhaps I've got so used to looking at deal prices that any full retail price seems a bit steep.

Micro Mega Bloks pieces offer a bigger challenge than the big chunky mega bloks, so if your child has outgrown those and craves a bigger architecural Mega Bloks test then this tub of 1000 Mega Bloks Micro Bloks pieces will offer them just that.

The vast number of brightly coloured building blocks can be turned into just about anything and everything their imagination sets its heart on.

The one thing I never liked about playing with Mega Bloks with someone else was running out of pieces; with 1000 pieces there’s enough here for everyone to build at the same time without scrabbling around for the right sized block you need to finish off your Mega Bloks Micro Blocks creation.

I’m trying my best not to imagine the horror of 1000 pieces of Mega Bloks Micro Blocks strewn all over the floor, but at least the tub they come in is deep, strong and sturdy and has a secure snap-on lid.

This 70-piece Maxi Mega Block set is now £7.50, down from £15.00 and then £10.50. It's £20.36 at Amazon at the moment, making this particular offer all the sweeter – especially as there's free delivery too.

• Click here to get building with Maxi Mega Bloks

There have been a few comments around here recently about the price of some of the toys and how companies really expect normal families to be able to afford them, so it's really nice to see that some toys are still being discounted in the post Christmas clear-outs.

The Maxi Mega Bloks are a great size for little hands, and come in bold and bright primary colours, helping with colour recognition.

They work well with other Mega Bloks sets and can be stored away in a flexible PVC bag with a handle for easy carrying. There are also construction ideas on the bag, should your little one require a bit of help getting started.

A stay at home dad in the Amazon reviews commented “Easy for little hands to get to grips with, great for early understanding of structure, helps with colour recognition and numeracy, endlessly adaptable for use with all sorts of games, and easy to clean- what more could you want?!

Anything Thomas the Tank Engine (as I knew him when I was small) or Thomas and Friends (which seems to be his title now) is expensive to buy, but such is the way of it, always has been and I'm sure will always be.

So it pays to keep a look out for good deals when they come up, and paying two-thirds less than the full price for this Mega Bloks Thomas At Misty Island set turns it from an expensive purchase into one that's much more wallet, and purse, friendly.

A large tub filled with 200 pieces of Mega Blok bricks to delight a little one for hours, has been reduced from £11.00 to £5.50 at Asda.

• Get building with Mega Bloks from Asda

Half price for this box is a great deal, if you ask me! The Mega Bloks are compatible with Lego Duplo, but a fraction of the cost. The box is loads bigger than required for the 200 bricks, but that's apparently so that you can store your existing collection with this one, which is pretty forward thinking, I guess.

These Mega Bloks are only the plain bricks, in other words there are no animals, doors, windows, wheels, or figurines, but if you're adding to an existing collection, or bulking out a new one, that's not the end of the world.

You can pay £4.95 for standard delivery, and items should reach you within four days, so you should get it in time for Christmas, snow allowing.

It doesn't matter to me whether I build with properly trademarked Lego, giant Mega Bloks, normal Mega Bloks or Mini Mega Bloks (a bit of an oxymoron if ever there was one!), I just love building things with them.

The other day, me and my youngest built a 'mega awesome' (his words) Mega Bloks castle for his Bakugan's to live in.  It was huge, it was sturdy and it had turrets and doors and everything.

I'm not sure who had the most fun to be honest, him or me, but we were playing together and that was great - I was also named the best Mega Bloks castle-builder EVER.

This tub of Mini Mega Bloks comes with 200 brightly coloured pieces for your building delight, in a robust and deep tub (there are few things more infuriating than a tub that's just not big enough again once you've taken everything out of it!) that has a snap-on lid.

The usual price for these Mini Mega Bloks tub is £29.99, Argos have reduced it to £14.99 and it's avaliable for home delivery (but for £5.95 why would you!?) or collection at your local Argos subject to stock.

All kid love building things. Although it seems in my experience that the real fun bit is knocking them apart afterwards! I've had Mega Bloks playsets for my son since he was 18 months old.

Now it gets a bit complicated if you're buying Mega Bloks toys. In the UK it seems like all their products come under the Mega Bloks brand. However, there are two different types of brick involved, and they aren't compatible. One is the traditional Mega Bloks building bricks, aimed at toddlers, with large robust looking connectors. The other type, which this set belongs to, looks pretty much like Lego. Just less fiddly and with sturdier and chunkier accessories.

In my experience, these have been better suited to younger children who are too old for the building blocks, but too young for the fiddlier and much smaller Lego figures and accessories. For example, the little Lego figures can all be pulled apart and often have tiny removable hats, and handheld items. Which frankly, a four year old will soon lose. We've had a number of these play sets, including ones from Diego and Dora the Explorer, and they've survived quite a hammering.  Unfortunately you can't use Mega Bloks with Lego, so if you've a child with both it is well worth your sanity to keep them in seperate tubs!

This set comes with a decorated Thomas, a working ferris wheel, blocks, fair tent and ramps. The recommended age is 3 plus.

Stop the press! We featured this Mega Bloks 3 in 1 Play Table just two days ago for £18.97 from Tesco. But PlayPennies parent Andrea has found it for the same price on Amazon.
