Building Blocks — Dollar Spot @ Target

Link copied!

A Toy Review by Jackie L.

I regularly peruse the dollar spot at Target for inexpensive new toys, puzzles, and activities I can use as a caregiver. I like to look on Amazon too because they often have decent bargains. I recently stumbled upon these builder blocks. Each bag comes with 32, but when I took these out at a recent job, they were such a huge hit I need to go back for more! Kids of all ages enjoy using these blocks because they can build whatever they like at their own pace and it is not necessarily a “girl or boy toy.” One bag I bought looks similar to legos (but MUCH cheaper) and the other looks more like wheels but can combine in different ways. Kids love to work with their hands and use their imaginations and these blocks are perfect to engage both. A couple of older kids I watched recently played with these blocks for over an hour creating several different contraptions, towers, robots, etc. It is fun to build along with the children you are watching as they have fun and you can too!

Enjoy!
