You would be hard pressed to find a child who does not love building blocks. They are a fan favorite among kids of all ages and abilities. Even the child who can’t focus on anything for more than five minutes can often be found sitting for hours on end building all sorts of constructions and contraptions out of his or her favorite building blocks!
Even a lot of this generation of parents love building blocks (unless of course, they have had the misfortune of finding some barefoot … at 2 in the morning … in the dark). I know many a 30-something parent who owns a few sets of their own of the beloved blocks of plastic.
So, what happens when you combine the constructing joy of building blocks with the magic of LED lights? Well, E-Blox set out to find out precisely that. And it was an instant success!
E-Blox is a relative newcomer to the building block game, but they have quickly taken the world by storm. Having only emerged on the scene about a year ago, they have already won quite a few prestigious toy awards and gained the attention of many with their innovative product design and unique spin on an old classic. They have taken a favorite from our childhood and made it even better.
Using their patented tin plated blocks that connect to a battery block, your child’s creations come to life and light up their imagination, all without dangerous and harmful, hazardous wires. So, while the small pieces still might pose a choking hazard for very young children, there is little additional risk beyond that of any other building toy.
The Cave
The Cave is part of the E-Blox LED Building Blocks Stories series. It is a chapter out of the E-Blox novelette “Earth One.”
From the product description:
“An exciting adventure story where Seymour E. Blox climbs a mountain on faith alone and discovers a secret cave that holds the answers to many mysteries about the Earth’s history, extinct animals, old memories, anew home, and much more.
Journey deep into the cave and discover shimeji mushrooms and glowing pilea flowers, and prehistoric creatures when you build a Mastodon and T-Rex!”
With this unique and creative building toy, your child gets to become a part of the story, encouraging creative and imaginative play in ways that have never before been possible. They get to explore history as they have never seen it before, getting “hands-on” experience with creatures that they have never seen and explore the earth as they have never seen it.
This Mom’s Opinion
It’s an incredible thing when a toy that is among the most popular toy category out there is not only something that kids are going to love to play with, but it is also amazingly educational as well. Add to that the fact that this toy company has a unique, innovative spin on the building block that is going to keep kids coming back again and again, while keeping their products at a price that will keep moms and dads happy, too. I just can’t see how you can go wrong with this one, at all.
No matter what age your children are, I am sure they are going to love this one. For the younger, newer builder, it’s an opportunity for you to play together. You can teach them about learning to follow the pattern and the instructions and get in some really excellent quality time, and then once it is built, they can play and explore their imagination. For the older kid, you can set them loose and let them build and explore on their own and see what they can do.
In either case, not only will they have a sense of accomplishment, but they will have hours upon hours of fun with this fantastic new toy. And they will be learning along the way as well. It’s a win-win for everyone.
