Megabloks School House
Take Hello Kitty to school on her tricycle and prepare for a fun day of learning with the Hello Kitty Schoolhouse Playset. The Schoolhouse Playset includes notebook blocks, a learning board and other supplies for Hello Kitty that will help her be at the top of her class! With pretty stickers and lots more that will make learning interesting and fun for everyone, The Hello Kitty Schoolhouse will give your child hours of cute school time delight! My granddaughter was thrilled to get this Christmas morning. She is really into Hello Kitty, so anything related to Hello Kitty makes her smile and makes her happy. Not good for those kids who like to put things in their mouths though.. which thank goodness she doesn’t do.
My three year old loves hello kitty and dollhouses so I thought this would be a big hit. This is really a once-time use experience. Once you put the stickers on the bricks, they cannot be anything other than a chest of drawers or whatever it is you have made. Also my daughter was disappointed that Hello Kitty doesn’t fit on the bunk bed. You’re better off buying a real doll house.
There is a lot of little cute pieces like purse, lamp, and food items. She also loves the little stickers that comes with it to put on the set. My babytoys2012 niece also owns 2 other Hello kitty Megablocks which turns out to be compatible, and she was able to make her house bigger. I just got this toy in the mail and wanted to review it right away for others who may be considering it as a Christmas gift for their little girl. From watching the video, I got the impression this toy would be compatible with my daughter’s Duplo blocks. It’s actually much smaller, more the size of Lego bricks. My little girl (3) loves Duplo, but has never played with her older brother’s Lego bricks. It is cute, however, and she loves Hello Kitty, so we’ll see how she does with it at Christmas.
The girls love doll houses, Legos and Hello Kitty. So this is a perfect blending of the three. They have literally spent hours playing with the house making up stories about Mama Kitty and Hello Kitty. The house allows you to redecorate to your heart’s content! And believe me they have been.
The set does include a lot of little pieces so if you have crawling/walking babies in the house, you need to be careful of the choking hazard.
This particular set can be used to babytoys2012 construct a doll house with a maximum of seven rooms for Kitty and her companion Mimsey. It comes with a lot of accesory pieces which can be used interchangeably such as stickers, furniture, rugs, and flowers. Since it can be constructed and destructed with relative ease, it can offer a young child a myriad of options for hours of playtime fun. It is also a challenging and creative toy due to its versatility.
Another issue is that there aren’t any extra building blocks in the set. There’s only one extra piece (not a block), which allows a choice between a ceiling lamp and floor lamp (the extra piece turns the floor lamp into a ceiling one). To make the bunk bed high enough so that Hello Kitty or Mimmy will fit on the lower bunk, all six barrel pieces in the set need to be used on it. That means the two potted plants and table legs have to go. Thus, once the set is pieced together, it’s more about rearranging furniture than building and rebuilding the items within, which would require extra building blocks. In some ways, this may limit creativity, though new pieces can be purchased and added for more flexibility.
So, while this is a great set, it could be improved upon with the inclusion of extra sheets of stickers and extra building blocks.
