Faith and Family Reviews received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While we consider it a privilege to receive products to review, our reviews are our honest opinion and thoughts of the product.
I don’t know about you but I have been thinking about Christmas lately and the fact that I have nothing bought. Edit: Now I do as I was able to find a few items this week!. We usually keep gift giving simple. It’s cheaper that way. We like to get the children something fun, practical or something they need.
Mega Bloks has some neat toys and we received three for review. I thought they’d make great Christmas gift ideas for kids!
3 Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids from Mega Bloks
1. Mega Bloks Skylanders Giants
The Mega Bloks Skylanders Giants is for 5 and up but our five year old found it difficult and needed help. He loves it. I just do not think he has the perseverance to sit there and do it. There’s 294 pieces! Every time someone built it for him, our three year old would knock it over or destroy it. Yes, he’s a little booger and no we did not do a very good job of staying on top of teaching him NOT to do that to his brother. Parent fail. 
I can admit it.
This Skylanders Giant is called Arkeyan Robot King.
2. Mega Bloks Barbie Build ‘n Style Pet Shop
Mega Bloks Barbie Build ‘n Style Pet Shop is loved by all our children ages 13 and down! It’s recommended for ages 4 and up. Our children all love animals and people figures to play with. Thankfully our seven year old is quite good at sharing!
The Barbie Build ‘n Style Pet Shop comes in a box that has a convenient handle (not shown in my photos), so its 94 pieces can easily be stored back inside the box. Our box is a little beat up and I don’t think my daughter stores her pet shop in it. I think she kept the box for the sake of keeping it and keeps her Barbie Build ‘n Style Pet Shop set up on her kiddie table in her room.
Barbie is missing an arm and her head. Again our three year old was blamed for that mishap. I’m seeing a trend here, aren’t you?
3. Hot Wheels Cars
Our two older boys got the Hot Wheels Cars. They come with a little zip cord that enables the cars to zoom around on the floor or table and the boys to have races with their Hot Wheels Cars. This is our ten year old playing with his car. Our oldest son claims our three year old toddled off with his car and can’t find it. I’m sure as soon as I post this, it’ll turn up.
These Mega Bloks toys are definitely great Christmas gift ideas for kids!
My son would go crazy over the Skylanders!

These are awesome! We love Mega Bloks here in our house! Had no idea there were Barbie sets too!
Wow, We have the other brand that rhymes with “eggos”…do they go together? Those look really cool!!!
Liz, I am not sure. I know the big Mega Bloks don’t but I am not sure about the smaller size. We do not have many of the other brand. Though our boys have been asking for Star Wars stuff.
My nephew loves cars this would be a great gift for him that he can have all over my sister’s house.

Hmmm… Mega Blocks, new idea for Christmas gift. We’ve always given Lego but I can see so many new things to do with these. The grandchildren would love these. Thanks!
What some great gift ideas! Both of my sons would love to put the Skylanders Giants together. They’ve been saving to get something like this.
Oh my 4 year old would LOVE those Barbie blocks!
One of my kids was into the building and constructing, and the other one was into the pretend play that came after. Together they made it work perfectly. Megabloks were definitely in use over here!
My daughters have some of the Barbie sets and they really enjoy it!
My 6 year old daughter would love the Barbie.. and it would keep her entertained for hours… which I need so that I can take care of my 2 younger (13 mos. and newborn babies) kids.. so any help is great..
This looks amazing. I’ll be checking it out!
