LEGO Duplo Ultimate Building Set Reviews
My three year old daughter loves these blocks. I like them because they are compatable with the Lego Quatro, which have been her favorites for the last two years. They won’t build the big structures you are used to building with quatro, but they have more variety to spark the imagination. My only complaint is there doesn’t seem to be enough, they could have put twice as many blocks in this bucket!
We got this Duplo set for our son, who is almost 21 months, for Christmas. He loves it! He’s too young to make particularly complex creations, but he really loves snapping the blocks together and taking them apart, as well as playing with the stuff Mom and Dad make. (And we have tons of fun with these, too!) Heck, he even has a great time just dumping the blocks out of the bin and putting them back in …
The set comes with a good assortment of rectangular and square blocks, and a few sloping and curved ones, as well as one small baseplate, a wheeled rectangular block (my son’s favorite!) and a “guy” (he looks like a construction worker to me).
The blocks seem as durable as they were back when I was a kid, and they have just the right degree of “snappiness” — they’re not too hard to snap together or take apart, but they don’t come apart too easily, either.
A couple of notes:
* Be sure to check the prices carefully before you buy. A lot of third-party sellers on Amazon are jacking the price WAY up. You can find much better deals if you buy directly from Amazon or Lego, or at brick-and-mortar stores. This is NOT a hard-to-find item.
* Consider getting the big 15-by-15-inch baseplate, which you can buy separately. It definitely adds a lot of play value. (Again, check prices carefully, though!)
My son got this last Christmas when he was 15 months old, and loved it immediately. He didn’t “build” much with it at first (I’ve heard from other parents that kids don’t really have the hand strength and coordination at that age) but enjoyed sorting the blocks and taking apart things that I made for him. Now, at 23 months, he is more into both building things – mostly towers or “helping” me build a house- as well as taking them apart. He likes naming all the colors of the blocks, and also puts the “car” in the garage and puts “George” (our name for the little guy) to bed in his house. I expect we’ll get a lot of play out of this set for some years, though we may need to buy another set or two so he can build more complex things.
