A recent survey conducted by Parents Tested Parents Approved (PTPA) and released by Mega Bloks revealed that 83% of parents often find themselves short on ideas to keep their children engaged during playtime, with two-thirds turning to screen time as a solution. Mega Bloks, known as Canada’s top educational construction toy brand for preschoolers, recognizes the challenges parents face in keeping their little ones busy, engaged, and learning. To support this need, Mega Bloks has developed a range of cognitive construction toys designed to foster toddlers’ growth and development. Engaging in hands-on building not only enhances their physical skills but also nurtures their minds and imaginations, which are essential for early learning.
Time and again, Mega Bloks elevates the play experience by introducing innovative ways for children to interact with their products. Proudly made in Montreal at North America’s largest toy factory, Mega Bloks serves as an excellent foundation for early childhood education, aiding in physical, creative, cognitive, social, and language development. Their toys, such as the Big Building Bag and Block Scooping Wagon, offer exciting opportunities for children to stack tall towers, manipulate various components, and explore new shapes and sizes, creating stimulating and enriching play experiences.
