Review of Lego Creator: Creative Building

AQ bucket of Duplo creative fun

Advantages: good assortment of bricks
Disadvantages: none

...I have a toddler of 18 months to buy a present for this year, so have been looking at Duplo. I know 18 months is a little young as Duplo bricks are really suitable for children aged 2 years old and over up to about 5 years and even then older children will still play with Duplo bricks. I investigated this Lego Duplo Creative Bucket (5538) and it was £17.99p at ?Toys are us? a bit more expensive than I wanted to pay for my nieces baby. At http://shop.lego.com its £17.59 However this bucket of bricks looks really good. The Duplo bricks come in a sturdy plastic deep squared tub it has a lid with 4 large Duplo studs and the sides have info about the bricks stuck on. These tubs are really good for storage much better than card boxes. Inside the tub are 76 bricks of Duplo plenty for a starter or add on set. Now these bricks are not...

LEGO BRICK BOX 6161 FOR CREATIVE LITTLE MINDS

Advantages: GET THOSE CREATIVE JUICES FLOWING
Disadvantages: PIECES CAN BE EASILY LOST

.... I was pleased that Lego managed to hold his attention and I think that Lego have a new fan as he cant wait to save up his pocket money to buy extra pieces to add to his tub. There is plenty of room in this box for expansion. It is a really good introduction to the world of Lego and one that I would certainly recommend. It certainly encourages creativity. The only downside was that some of the pieces were quite tiny and there was the occasional whinge when he tried to attach a piece and the whole structure built crumbled. However this I felt was also good for patience something which little boys don't have too much of in my experience. Overall recommended and suitable for both sexes however you can get a pink tub for girls if preferred. ALSO ON DOOYOO...

Review of Lego Creator: Brick Box

Lego - 'let's you go'.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...to harbour their creative instincts as it allows them to make and build various items. Whether it just be a simple building or a more advanced car perhaps, it allows them and gives them to opportunity to look at the detail of whatever it is that they are building. I personally was never stopped in doing this, and even now to this day my nephews and neice constantly get me to build them different things. I don't know why they don't get architects to design buildings by using Lego bricks! As already mentioned, this is something that has been a favourite no doubt of many a child's life. There is no real age limit though on what age you can stop playing with it though, however I would strongly advise not to have it around small children due to the number of small parts. Value for money wise, it provides hours of entertainment for no...

Review of Lego

Create with Lego.

Advantages: Good building toy
Disadvantages: little pieces hurt when you stand on them :-{ ouch

...Lego pieces. A variety of different colours, red, blue, brown, yellow, black, white. There are an assortment of shapes and sized bricks too, A gate brick, a door brick some with eyes. Bricks to make a person, a snail, a tree, a caterpillar and flowers. Bricks to build a house or any creation from your Childs imagination. In this box there is a book with instructions for building and lots of ideas I think there is an excellent assortment of bricks to get your little one set up with Lego maybe adding special sets later. Educationally Lego is a good toy. Suitable for a child aged 4 and over. Be careful some Lego is small easy to swallow .Lego will help your child develop their fine and gross motor skills. It will help inspire their creativity and imaginative play. Playing together with a friend and the Lego will help...

Review of Lego Creator: Brick Box

Legos = Creative Fun!

Advantages: allows for creativity, wide variety of sets to chose from, hours of fun
Disadvantages: small pieces can be easily lost

...with Legos is the number of small pieces. Beware that losing certain pieces could make it difficult, if not impossible, to build or rebuild a certain set the way it is presented on the Lego box. Keeping pieces together, and finding a safe place to hold onto those instruction booklets will make rebuilding sets much easier. All in all, our family finds Legos to be an excellent toy. Its fun and imaginative. What a joy to have a toy that encourages such creativity, and actually grows with your child! Legos will be in our home for many years to come....

Review of Lego

Lego City Police Station - 7744 - Great addition to lego fans!

Advantages: Assembly in stages, easy to follow for older children/adults
Disadvantages: Base a bit floppy for moving the police station around

...My son got this Lego City Police Station for his 8th birthday. We paid £48.89 from Argos for it. It took me and my husband quite a while to help my son build it. But the end result was great. It comes in one box. Within the box are smaller bags. All the bags are numbered and all have a booklet inside for the particular part of the police station/vehicle. None of the items were missing, there were a few bits over though, which come in handy for the lego box! It is really easy to follow (for an adult), but I don't think my 8 year old would have had the knowledge or patience to build it himself. Some children his age probably could, but I'd say any child would probably need a bit of help from an adult. I think it's quite nice to have adult and child building something together anyway, so this isn't a disadvantage in my eyes! My...

Review of Lego Police: Police Station

Lego Lego Lego

Advantages: Great learing and never goes out of fashion
Disadvantages: can be expensive

...Lego Lego Lego, I love it. When I was a child it was the only thing I would ever play with. I owned a big box of it and I would dissaper into my bedroom for hours making houses to play pretend, I would see how high I could build a tower up the wall, make cars and casltes. This never failed to amuse me. my son has never been the building type so I never bought him any he would much prefer to be destructive. So when I met my current partner it was great his son loved lego it made it so much easier for me and him to relate to each other too we would spend hours building things and using our imagination. Lego has come along since I was a little girl they now make real looking cars, star wars figures, Indian Jones and much more. This is one of the main presants that my step son has every year due to each year they bring out another...

Lego City 7686 - 3 for the price of 1 -

Advantages: Cost, Design, Look, Fun Factor
Disadvantages: None So Far

...Lego City 7686 As many people will be aware Lego has a huge selection of sets available to buy, my now 6 year old son has fallen in to the City range. The range is very extensive and prices range from as little as a few pounds for a simple set to the rather upmarket sets which cost a few hundred pounds. This set sits nicely in the middle of the set when you compare the amount of pieces, value for money and the overall design of the product. I am reviewing Lego City 7686 which is Helicopter Transporter Just like I add to all my Lego reviews, if you want to read any of the history of the Lego Company I have included there link at the bottom of this review for you. Assembling the products Firstly this particular set is aimed at the age range of 5yrs ? 12yrs, the box is a fair size and your little one will struggle to...

Review of Lego City 7686: Helicopter Transporter

WooHoo! SpongeBob Square Pants in Lego Form!

Advantages: It's sponge bob, its lego & it's not just for kids
Disadvantages: small bits, get lost down sink

...This has go to be the very best thing lego has ever brought out. And a milion times better than star wars lego or Harry Potter Lego. Because, c'mon they don't look anything like the characthers they're suppose to be. However this pack does. It's spongebob and what exactly can you get wrong about a yellow square guy with eyes, nose and a quirky smile. Patrick, however (he's the starfish dude, jst in case anyones' out of the loop) doesn't quite look like the cartoon, this is because they've mearly painted on a starfish shape to a brick of lego. How inventive. COST: £25.00 PLACE OF PURCHASE: Toys R Us Being a big kid, and knowing how much I love Spongebob, my flatmates bought this play pack for me for my birthday. It's fairly new on the market and predicted as a hot sellout this christmas. Well what exactly is it? Ok, its a huge...
