Disney Building Bucket: Cinderella's Castle
I bought this toy for my 1 year-old little girl so she could have a set of blocks of her own, different from her 5 year-old brother (although he likes to play with it too). She likes to stack the blocks and plays with Cinderella and the horse too. I like the fact that all the pieces fit inside its own storage container. Adorable!

Cinderella's Castle a Dream Toy
After my daughter got an ABC Train, also by Mega Bloks, from Grandma for her birthday, I knew that the Cinderella Castle would make a great Christmas gift. All of the blocks are sturdy and interchangeable, so my daughter builds the castle into a massive tower or anything she wants. The blocks are different sizes, shapes, and colors - no more simple squares. The set comes with Cinderella and an adorable horse. We also bought the add-on set with another Cinderella, plus Belle and Ariel. Any toy that encourages imaginative play is a hit with me!

Mega Bloks Cinderella Castle
My three (almost four) year old daughter was excited to receive this gift for Christmas. The pony and Cinderella blok were a big plus. And it has all of the favorite "girl colors" - pink, purple, lavender, yellow and Cinderella blue. That's the good part. The bloks are contained in a sturdy plastic box with a pink castle roof decorated with hearts and roses and includes a clock.

The problems with this toy - there are no instructions or diagrams included showing how to build the castle as shown on the plastic container. There is a picture to give you an idea but the pony is blocking the view. My biggest beef with this product - the castle lid does not snap onto the box so my 20 month old son dumps it at every opportunity. Consequently, I have been picking these blocks up several times a day every day since Christmas - they've been scattered behind a chair for the last couple of days because I've given up. I'm beginning to wish Uncle Bill and Aunt Cindy had chosen another gift.... ... Read more

useless
I found this toy to be pretty useless. Yes the blocks have the letters on them but you can buy wooden blocks that stack better and can build more things. the only thing the blocks were useful for was stacking one on top of the other. The train cars don't stay together well, they come apart way to easily and it frustrated my son. Also the blocks don't lock tightly either and when they'd come apart he would get frustrated again. Save your money buy a more durable train and the wooden square blocks with letters on them.

SONS FAVORITE
My best friends mom got this for our son's first birthday and he loves it (he's 13 months now). He's not too interested in it when it's conected, but all he does is pick up one car and it unsnaps. It's a very durable toy that has been dropped, thrown, chewed on and attacked by cats repeatedly. With all six cats having very sharp claws, there are still no claw marks in the plastic. This is the only toy we take with us when we're out and he's always entertained. We can take a few blocks, or put the blocks on the cars and stack the whole thing. There are holes on the bottom of all the cars so that the blocks fit into the undersides as well. This makes for great storage, just put all the blocks on the cars, stack them together and put away. The only thing that I don't like is that the alphabet isn't complete. I wanted to show my son, Jason, what his name looked like and there is no J in my set, but there are doubles of some other letters. Go figure, this may just be my set though. All in all a great buy I think.

Girls Can Choo-Choo, Too!
Grandma mailed the Mega Bloks ABC Train to my daughter for her second birthday. Both she and her older sister (3 years 9 mos) cheered when we opened the box! One engine and two railcars in bright rainbow colors make for tons of fun. I like the train because it helps them develop dexterity, sorting skills, and letter identification (both upper and lowercase). But my youngest daughters favorite activity is chugga-chugga-choo-choo! The wheels spin freely. About 1.25 inches square, the blocks interlock easily in either direction. I had to show them how the cars snap together. One design issue: the roof on the engine cabin has four pegs, but because of the curved shape the blocks do not fit snug. They keep popping off! A pull string would've been nice, but my girls are more than happy with this train as is.

Wonderful Toy!
Out of ALL of the MANY toys my 2 year old received for his birthday, this one is definitely his favorite! The multi colored blocks are helping him to idetify colors and he loves to repeat the letter as he adds the block to the train. He plays with this toy for hours! He loves to build the train and then play with the train itself. I'll be buying more for gifts! ... Read more
