We enjoy seeking out the products that encourage creativity and imagination, as well as the products that can engage the entire family! Well one company that I have relied on for years with my kids when it comes to finding those products is Learning Resources, and when we got the Mental Blox, we were once again pleased with our choice! We found this to be a fun puzzle like game that my kids were able to do together. I loved watching to see how while the kids played, it really got the gears going in their heads. I like that it is geared towards being a game that challenges the kids with the various puzzles that they can build using the blocks. I also liked that with the 3 levels of play, that even after the kids completed one level, they could continue to be challenged over and over again! Which in all has made this game not only a great one for having in the home, especially on those cold and rainy days, but also a product that I have added to my list of great gifts to give this coming holiday season!

This is an awesome 3-D puzzle activity. The first time opening this box and my four year old was hooked (I know it's for five+ year olds, my sic year old loves it too). There are 40 puzzles cards, they both did them all with a very limited amount of help, but a good amount of time working out the problems. The best benefit, in my opinion, is the way it makes them look at a problem differently, using a part of the brain that needs to be exercised as much as kids need physical exercise. It really is a great brain-boosting, make them think in a visual way game. *I was not financially compensated for this post. I did received the product for review purposes.

My daughters who are 5 and 8 tried out the Mental Blox 360° 3-D Building Game. This game makes them think outside the blox :) My eight year old daughter could do the green and yellow cards without difficulty. She was challenged on the red cards, but quite willing and up to the challenge without giving up. My five year old couldn't quite grasp the concept of the different viewpoints so she instead stacks the blocks in fun ways. Mental Blox 360° is a great boredom buster. It helps expand my kids' ways of thinking. I am quite amazed at how much attention they pour into this game. It keeps them very occupied for quite a while. Mental Blox 360° is fun and educational! I recommend it to people that love brain games, puzzles, and other games! This is also a great addition to any homeschool environment. It is a great family centered game and wonderful to teach and improve STEM and mental skills. Disclaimer: I received this in exchange for my honest review, all opinions expressed are 100% my own.

As Millennials, we are naturally drawn to anything that looks like Tetris so when we were sent Mental Blox 360° it was game over. This isn't any old puzzle game, this one really makes you think, it's almost like playing a Tetris/Monuments Valley mashup in real life. You get these cards with an innocuous picture on them and then with the allotted blocks you have to figure out as quickly as you can how to make the design. Really, it is mental. We have seen a few 3D Building Game's but this one has a fun alternate perspective take on it that really makes it fun for the whole family. You can even compete in teams to see who can create their cards image the quickest. Family game night just got mental! This is a quality product with blocks made to last a long long time with many uses. We can't recommend this STEM set enough.

My kids (10, 7, 3) had a good time playing with Mental Blox. While my 3 year old just would build whatever he wanted, my older two took the provided cards to be challenged with the set designs. I like how the cards range from very easy to increasingly harder. I love that this activity required my children to stretch their brains and perspective. Though the game did ultimately make my 7 year old cry out of frustration, with some help and explaining from Dad he was able to calm down and enjoy the blox again. Overall I'm happy with this educational game. *Game was provided for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

I was sent this item for my honest review. All opinions are mine alone. My 5-year-old daughter instantly took to this product. She really enjoyed trying to match the blocks to the pictures and soon started building her own shapes for fun, too! Some of the pictures were hard to understand (it would look like you need a single orange cube but there are none in the box, for instance), but they were great overall.
