The set includes 356 pieces, including a  shark, 2 Blok Squad Explorers and a Blok Squad Diver figure. This set is aimed at the over five, probably due to lots of little pieces, and it does look like a fun adventure!

It’s bright pink, with bright luminous yellow/green wheels and contains approximately 25 Mega Bloks blocks – that’s the only reason I say it would be good for a girl, there is no reason why boys wouldn’t be thrilled with it too…just not in pink!

Mega Bloks are a great way to introduce little ones to construction toys. This would make an excellent toy to pull out on a rainy day, or as a gift.

And the price includes postage as this item comes with free super save delivery.

Build and stack for limitless fun with the award-winning First Builders Big Building Bag by Mega Bloks. These bright trendy-coloured blocks encourage hands-on exploration and open-ended play. Construct tall towers and fantastic fortresses. First Builders blocks are made big, especially for little hands to handle. When playtime is over, conveniently pack and store the blocks in our new eco-friendly, PVC-free packaging.

There aren't any customer reviews on the site yet, but my son loved making towers out of his Mega Bloks when he was a toddler. I didn't think it was quite as good as Duplo, but having said that, it does the job nicely and my son never really showed a preference for one over the other.

The Mega Bloks Build 'N Go 3 In 1 Walker is currently on sale at Debenhams for £12.50, taking the same off it's original selling price, and they're throwing in free delivery too.

• Learn to walk and build in one*

The Mega Bloks Build 'N Go 3 In 1 Walker is great for getting little ones moving about. It is a fun and bright walker, which also boosts creativity while supporting them as they take their first steps to walking.

Usefully, it also transforms into a stand-up walker, pull-along cart or flat building platform depending on your child's development.

The Mega Bloks Build 'N Go 3 in 1 Walker is 43cm tall in its stand-up walker position but folds down to 14cm tall when made flat making it ideal for storing away, or even just packing away after play.

Included in the set are 10 individual large Mega Bloks pieces suitable for children aged nine months and up.

This bag of Mega Bloks classic building blocks is an Amazon Deal of the Week - this means the price will remain fixed at £11.99, rather than fluctuate up and down at Amazon's will, until 11.59pm this coming Sunday (4 November).

• Click HERE to take a look at the bag of Mega Bloks classic building blocks *

I have a bit of a soft spot for Mega Bloks, especially these classic ones - my eldest son had a bag when he was little (even the packaging looks the same some 18 years on!) and my youngest son still enjoys building things with his classic Mega Bloks, even though he's six and has moved onto LEGO.  In fact, I still love building things with Mega Bloks - actually, any type of building block will do.  I think I must be a frustrated architect or general builder!

From experience, can promise that this bag of Mega Bloks classic building blocks will be played with over and over and over again, for years and years and years to come - if you could work out how the cost per play, I'm sure they'd work out to be one of the best value toys you can buy.

The bag contains 60 Mega Blok pieces and are suitable for little ones aged one year and older.

Happy Mega Blok building!

Argos are offering half off the Mega Bloks First Builders Big Building Bloks 220 Piece Tub, which normally sells for £59.99, but is now £29.99.

• Spend hours indoors with the huge offering from Argos and Mega Bloks*

My daughter received some Mega Bloks for her second birthday and while she liked building towers with it, it took a while before she really 'got' them. She progressed from Mega Bloks to Lego in super quick time. It's amazing when you sit and watch your child, and you can actually see the progress they make.

This giant bucket of 220 coloured blocks comes with a handy lid that kids can build on. Little ones can construct tall towers and stack the fun and colourful blocks high and wide.

These First Builders Big Building Bloks have large big blocks for little hands, and too big for little mouths. It encourages open ended play and imagination, and is great for learning too. This set is in the classic primary colour scheme, and has a storage bucket with a build-on lid and is compatible with other Mega Bloks First Builders products.

Mega Bloks Thomas And Friends Cranky At Brendam Docks Playset is on sale at Tesco for £10 which, they say, is a £30 reduction on the RRP.

• Delve into the Docks at Brendam

Mega Bloks are such a favourite with kids and are generally cheaper than LEGO too, making them a favourite with parents too I suspect. This set has really good reviews on the Tesco site and apparently there are very few negative points to them.

One of the definite positives though is that it's easy for little hands to hold.

This set is very interactive for kids too. Cranky the Crane is helping with all the hard work. He'll haul coal to the waiting engines with his lifting hook, raising and lowering his hoisting rope. There' a smaller crane to lift the coal from the loading area to Cranky.

The buildable Sodor Shipping Co. station comes in authentic green and wood colours, making you feel as though you're really down on the tracks at Brendam. This fun Mega Bloks Brendam Docks playset is suitable for  children from 3 years+.

Mega Bloks Mini Bloks tubs with 100 pieces are on sale at Tesco Direct for £5 instead of £7.46.

• Build your Mega Bloks collection

So, Mega Bloks, suitable from 3 years, no batteries, and - for some ridiculous reason - marked as 'boys', come in a yellow tub with a red lid, perfect for storing.

That's about the sum of the information you'll find on the website.

Of course, any parent will tell you that the kids - girls or boys - will have a field day with Mega Bloks, and I know more than a handful of under threes that play with it too.

Having a storage box for it is really useful though. Toys that come in bits and pieces can go everywhere, and quite frankly, that's a pain in the butt - although more commonly in the foot! Nothing wrong with taking a couple of pounds off this popular child's toy, and helping them build coordination, logic, develop problem solving skills and imagination.

No matter the weather, for a two year old it seems there’s always time for blocks of some sort or another. In this case, the Mega Bloks Buildable Toy Chest Farm Tub at Amazon is reduced from £39.99 to £20.

• Build a Farm from Mega Bloks

Apart from getting everywhere, Mega Bloks are great fun and kids do seem to love it. This set would make a great addition to an existing collection, and seriously boost it too.

The set comes in a box for easy storage, and is compatible with other sets too. There are also 23 big Maxi building blocks.

It includes a farmer and tractor and some animals. The description says it comes with four animals, but then only mentions a calf and a chicken, while the picture also shows a lamb, so I’m not sure if, and if so, what the fourth animal is.

It does, however, come with a sticker sheet to help you decorate the farm.

The MEGA Bloks Build and Go Walker is available at Amazon for £14.99 instead of £24.99, saving you a lovely 40% with free delivery.

• 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.

• 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.
