Hi everyone! I'm Emma from EmmaPlusThree.com and this is my daughter Evie. Say Hi!
Hiiii!
Hi I'm Abby from You Baby Me Mummy and I've been asked today to review - or we've been
asked, haven't we? - Yeah!
To review, Mega Bloks by Mumsnet.
We're gonna be looking at the different ways that children learn through play and Mega
Bloks are really good for development and play.
So we're going to share our playful experiences with you all, to see just how Mega Bloks
enhances those.
We've got the Block scooping wagon here, which is a little wagon that you can wheel around
and it picks up the bricks that are on the floor which is really clever isn't it?
Mega Bloks are great because they haven't got any sharp edges and you know they're completely
safe, even for the smallest of children. - Yeah!
Yeah, they're too big to go in your mouth so you can never swallow them which is good.
Like this!
Yeah, too big. So you're never going to swallow them as a baby and you can just move them
and hold them and grows motor skills isn't it?
This is really good for her fine motor skills, balance and co-ordination. She's really having
to concentrate on that as well.
It can also help with, imaginative play, problem solving,
so many areas really just by using simple blocks.
I love that Mega Bloks allow her to concentrate on her counting and her colours and also shapes.
They're things we're really trying to work on at the moment and we try to fit these things
into our daily activities.
You wanna give me one?
Good sharing!
*laughter*
She seems to be getting on really well with this already, she's absolutely loving it.
Aren't you?
She loves building things.
We often do towers with two and towers with one so she has to learn that concept as well
that some have got two, and that concepts have got one.
And you can mix the colours cant you? - Yeah!
You can group the colours.
She's listening to me and we're sharing aren't we?
Which one do you want now?
What colour?
Green.
Green!
This would be a great thing for her to do with her brother actually.
Thinking and sharing.
You listen to mummy don't you quite intently when we're doing Mega Bloks, which doesn't
always happen does it?
No but you really want to do this don't you so you want to find out what mummy is going
to ask you to do.
It's also great for self expression as well, because she can make
whatever she wants to make can't you?
You can be as creative as you want to be! *laughter*
I love anything where I can be teaching her something as well and it's something that
she loves to do, that's a bonus for us as well.
I'm helping! Aww thank you!
Nice helping!
We've been using the Mega Bloks products for about a week now and we are getting on
really well with them.
Evie absolutely loves them and she's responded brilliantly to them.
I could see her still playing with them in another year or so's time because she can
do more complex maths with it, you could use them to do subtraction as well as adding.
She's now counting to twenty and that is 100% down to the Mega Bloks.
Easy to store, lightweight toys always get my vote!
We'll definitely be continuing to use them and we're even looking at getting her some
more for Christmas because she's enjoying playing with them so much.
I've hope you've enjoyed my video, don't forget to subscribe if you'd like to watch more videos
and it's been lovely to bring this to you and work with Mega Bloks and Mumsnet.
Thank you for my Mega Bloks kit!
