-Do we need them?
-Do your LO's like them?
-Are they something they grow in to, even if they don't take to them at first?
-What's the best set to get, there seem to be two types (one like large lego, the other thinner plastic and with taller sticky-up bits?!)
-aaaannnd... how much is a good price?


Ta for any ideas! xx

Theres a tub of 200 reduced from 40 to 15 in asda at the mo, c quite likes em though she prefers he sticklebircks. She didnt use em last year but has grown into em and since bean is older he may like em

What did your LO think of the Clippo?

Megablocks are easier to put together and take apart than the clippo, TBH she isn't yet making much but she likes to stick them together and knock over whatever I make!

I got mine on offer last year, I got her the big pony bag, a smaller bag for at my mums and then a ITNG pack to go with that

Thanks Ladies,
He much prefers his regular building blocks - I think because it's quick to stack more impressive when knock down


Which type was that Mario - the big lego or the really chunky stuff?

Boots do a bag of 24 for £10 http://www.boots.com/en/Mega-Bloks-24-Piece-Bag-Of-Bricks_120832/?CAWELAID=334504782&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Engines-_-Google%20Base-_---_-Mega%20Bloks%2024%20Piece%20Bag%20Of%20Bricks
Which seems a bit pants? Seems too few?! Or a good place to start

I just bought them in the sainsburys toy sale for £8.49.

I brought callum a bag of 70 for £15 for his birthday he doesnt use them atall he doesnt understand how to stack them im hopig he will grow into playing with them x
He prefers playing with blocks xx

See we went to a friends a few weeks back and her little girl had the bag out and he just wasn't interested which was the mega blocks:

Am wondering whether we'll get some duplo instead - maybe for 2nd birthday?

I'm more confused

We have them but have just moved onto lego duplo which H prefers x

Jamie got the duplo lego off his grandparents for his 1st brthday, it was a bit to old for him then, he has only recently started playing with it and loves it, coz theres pieces in it like windows and cars and little people, as well as the basic pieces, he always brings the window over to me and puts his face right up to it and says " i see" . He's getting more off his grandparents for this xmas he's getting an animal one with all little animals in which he will love, theres loads of different ones to choose from

That sounds promising Amanda & maxi - will have a look round for duplo - it is this kind isn't it:

Yeah thats the one. Jamie has that one and another bigger version of it with more pieces

So if we skip the mega bloks and go for duplo for bean's 2nd birthday instead...

I'm doing all present shopping at once -or at least ideas of things to buy in Jan sales- less to do later on when the madness of two babies hits!

Thats what im doing, nearly all done for xmas and his birthday and everyone else too. Dont wanna be rushing round at last minute with a big bump its bad enough doing it with no bump

I told mum to get megablocks for me when they where on offer & Id give her the money. (My mum has developed an addiction to internet shopping and spys loadza bargains). She told me she had got them & when she left them over I discovered it was duplo. I would have prefered megablocks tbh, but thinking about it now maybe duplo's not so bad as we can add sets to it.

Caitlin is probably gona be a tad young for them but they'll keep!

i have brought brought JJ a lil box of duplo.. they come for diff ages and when they older they can fit to normal lego and i have relised you can get more add ons for them!! xxx
