Mega Bloks Domino Build Game

Thanks to Mega Bloks and Team Mom, we had the chance to review the new Mega Bloks Domino Build Game.  Aimed at children ages 3-6, this fun game combines the counting of dominos with learning about colors and shapes, plus the fun of stacking blocks to build animals!  These kinds of games help develop fine-motor skills like patience, practice, and determination, muscle movement and hand-to-eye coordination. Both boys and girls will have fun playing the Mega Bloks Domino Build Game!  Best of all, the retail price is only $10.99 and you can buy it at Amazon.com, Fred Myers, Toys R Us Canada (Quebec only), and Wal-Mart Canada.  At that price, you can buy one for yourself and one to give as a gift!

Kaitlyn was very eager to test out this game. For two players, each player gets four cards plus one is turned over to start. Each player also decides which of the four animals they want to build. The youngest player goes first, and looks in their hand for a card that has either the same shape or the same color as the starter card. If they can make a match, they put their card down, take one animal block, and draw another card. Play continues this way until one player gets all four blocks needed to build their animal. Here’s a photo showing the table while we were playing, you can see we started with a purple hippo card and built out from that:

After we played a couple of rounds, Kaitlyn had fun building with the animal blocks. After she built them the right way, she had fun mixing and matching, swapping heads and bodies and feet and giggling about the results. Here are the animals the right way:
