Wow 480 little pieces of Lego. The large blue bucket(5519) containing these pieces was knocked of the shelf fortunately I had my shoes on, co's its painful when you stand on pieces of Lego children have scattered all over the room and not put away.
Let's pick them all up please.
This bucket contains a good assortment of pieces ,Somehow I can not just pick up the [pieces and put them all away I get involved in building, I can build a house with the standard 2,4 and eight stud bricks. I can builds with white bricks yellow bricks red bricks or blue. I build a red roof with sloping shaped bricks. There are several windows in this set, some window shutters. There are doors too.
Now let's build the garden there is some fencing and a few flowers in this set. I can build a Lego tree with black and green bricks too … Now we need a vehicle I can make one there are some wheels and a window screen. Now I must stop playing and put all the bricks back in the tub.
Ohh there are lots and lots of assorted pieces in this bucket enough for a group of children.
This bucket of Lego bricks would be ideal as a birthday or Christmas present it will form a good base for a Lego collection will keep a child absorbed for many minutes, I do like the strong blue bucket tub it is in great for storage.
Yes I would recommend this set. This set is suitable for 4 year olds and over, I think that this sized Lego brick may still be a bit fiddly for a 4 year old but there are other Lego products like the duplo sets which are easier. The duplo sets are compatible with some of the standard Lego bricks.
Lego has been around for many years and has won several awards. It is a good educational toy teaching many skills to children while they are playing. Lego helps with fine and gross motor control, practice makes perfect. Lego will encourage children to develop their imagination, their creativity. Playing with a large set of lego alongside and with other children will help develop their social skills. Lego is in bright attractive colours, if used in a classroom it can be used in many ways to develop topics.
Lego is durable, washable it will last many playhours and still be in good condition to get passed onto the next generation.
