motor skills and hand-eye coordination, • spatial reasoning, • cognitive flexibility, • language skills, • a capacity for creative, divergent thinking, • social competence, and • engineering skills. There is also evidence that complex block-play is linked with higher mathematical achievement.

(formerly Mega Bloks Inc. and Ritvik Holdings) is a Canadian children's toy company that is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Mattel. Mega Bloks, a line of construction set toys, is its most popular product. Its other brands include Mega Construx, Mega Puzzles, Board Dudes and Rose Art.

Physical development – Block play promotes the development of spatial awareness and develops hand-eye coordination as children reach for, lift, move and build with blocks, strengthening their fingers, hands and arms.

Building blocks are a powerful learning tool and help children to develop their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness and reasoning.

Lego and Mega Bloks have inspired an entire subculture of fascinating designs built with their plastic building blocks. While Lego bricks are more expensive, they are usually considered to be higher quality. Some of the building blocks from the two brands are compatible.

The choice between Lego and Mega Construx boils down to individual preference. It depends on the themes you're interested in, the level of detail and articulation you desire in minifigures, and the quality and accessibility you expect from a brick manufacturer.

Block play requires fine and gross motor skills. Blocks enhance children's problem-solving abilities, mathematics skills, and language and literacy abilities. And constructing “creations” builds selfesteem and feelings of success. - Linda Taylor.

The added benefits of block and construction play include the development of concentration, spatial awareness, shape recognition, problem-solving skills, social skills, and more. Whether playing on their own or with a sibling, toy blocks teach kids how to overcome challenges and explore the environment around them.

The Cons Of Both First off, there's no denying that LEGO is a much more expensive company to buy from. If you're looking for cheaper alternatives, then Mega Bloks is your best option. But as we said earlier, this will come at a cost because the quality is undoubtedly worse.
