Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Mega Bloks. We received the Mega Bloks sets featured in this post to facilitate this review. All opinions, as always, are 100% my own.
My kids absolutely love building sets. My son has been enjoying playing with them for at least 5 or so years now and my 6 year-old daughter just discovered them this year. Combine building with two of their favorites, Barbie and Skylanders and you are sure to get hours of creative fun! Thanks to Mega Bloks, we were sent a few sets for review and they were perfect to keep the kids busy on one of the many rainy days last month.
Barbie fans are going to love the sweet Barbie Mega Bloks building sets featuring Barbie and her friends. Perfect for ages 4 and up, each set is super girly and not only fun to put together but even more fun to play with once they are complete! Do you remember not so long ago when the majority of the buiding toys were geared toward boys? Not anymore – now there is a whole line of Barbie themed Mega Blok sets perfect for all of your girly girls!
First up, my daughter chose to create the Mega Bloks – Barbie – Build ‘n Style Ice Cream Cart.
Next up my daughter bribed my son to help her with her “super duper” Mega Bloks – Barbie – Build ‘n Style Pool Party
After spending time helping his little sister build her Barbie sets and sending her off to play, my son got down to business building two awesome Mega Bloks Sklyanders sets. I am always absolutely amazed at my son’s building skills – he was finished both sets in under 30 minutes! I joke with him that he is destined to be an engineer one day.
The two sets he created were the 98 piece Troll Tank Gun Down set featuring Flameslinger and the 133 piece Mega Bloks Skylanders Zeppelin Air Ship Assault Building Set
Can you tell how proud they are of their new creations?
Are your children Mega Bloks fans? If so – boy do I have a treat for you!

What I like is they keep entertained for a long time building. I have to agree, with building both sets in such a short period of time, your son has a gift for sure. Engineer just may be his field and that is awesome! That child has some great talent!

I love that the mega blocks pieces lock into each other so you don’t have pieces falling all over the place when you move them.
I love that these are geared towards girls and encourage creativity

I love the fact that my daughter spends so much time playing with them. It’s so hard for me to find stuff that she actually sit down and play with and Mega Blocks work wonders for that!
my daughter likes the basic blocks- she loves these things!
