Mega Bloks Smart Build Piano Review

Purchased this as a Chritmas gift for our 6 month old daughter. She is a little young yet to get the full benefits from it but we play together and it is great fun. The Mega Bloks Smart Build Piano has two volume levels and both settings are parent friendly. The piano has an auto play mode or your child can beat on the keys and make their own music. There are three nursery songs the piano will play, each song is its own blok (Mary had a Little Lamb, Twinkle Twinkle….Old McDonald). There are also three intruments that are linked to bloks (guitar, drums, xylophone) as well as a laughing blok that when plugged in makes all kinds of silly sounds our daughter gets a real kick out of. The idea behind this piano is you take any of the bloks and plug them in on one of three posts on the top of the piano. The piano recognizes which bloks are plugged in and plays the songs or instruments or both. If you want to hear Mary had a Little Lamb with drums and guitar in the background plug in these three bloks and away you go. I can see this being educational as it allows for many different combinations of songs and instruments so I expect our child will experiment when she gets a little older as we do with her today. The toy is durable and it has good battery life and is easy to clean.

The bloks are big enough for little hands and the keyboard is colorful and easy to play. The only change I would like to see is the depth of the piano is not that great and it will tip over when an excited child with limited control of their limbs gets really pounding on the thing. In all though the weight balance if very good except when the bloks are struck instead of the keys!
