...I would just like to write a review on the benefits and/ or the downfalls of Lego, something that even at the age of 26 I do still enjoy playing with with my brother's four children - any comments, you will get a slap! Lego are those small little bricks that no doubt will have played a part in the life of any child, at some point during their early lives. It is something that has been around for many years, as my two older brothers (being 36 and 38) both also used to play with it themselves along with their own friends - in fact, most of mine was hand downs from them! There are many different bricks used in Lego, from rectangular bricks through to doors; windows; wheels, and even the bases on which to build your masterpieces on too have shown at the Tate Modern!

...thought this set ideal for taking visiting or on holiday to keep little hands and minds busy. The little plastic container it was in was ideal for packing in a bag or to put in the side pocket of the car when going out and about. The planers/air vehicles it made looked quite good. This kit costs about £5. From most toy shops http://www.toys1.co.uk/lego-creator-lego-mini-flyers-lego-4918-age-6-89-p.asp has it for £4.99. I think it would make a great Christmas/birthday present for a child’s friend. Would I recommend? YES. My grandson is getting a lot of enjoyment out of his. This Lego toy is recommended for over 6 year olds watching my just 6 year old grandson I would say that’s about right. Lego bricks are a great toy. Will last a long time easy to wash and care for...
