Lego Creator - Mini Animals But Mega Fun!

Advantages: Can make three different animals, not expensive
Disadvantages: mostly brown coloured blocks

...I bought this Lego set for my boyfriend for valentines day. I thought it was really cute because you can make three different mini animals with the lego - a monkey, a duck and a dinosaur (or lizard-type thing!) You can only make one of the animals at a time, there are not enough lego pieces in the set to make more than one. This Lego set is from the 'Lego Creator' range, which are meant to be creative and imaginative designs for children (though *I* personally think they suit any age!) The Lego comes in a plastic silver box with a yellow lid which is rectangular in shape. There is a picture on the front of the box with the different animals you can make. The lid easily pops on and off the box and it means that you can keep the instructions and the left over spare Lego parts safe and secure. There is an easy to follow instruction...

Review of Lego Creator: Mini Animals

Create with Lego.

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

...The Lego creator box 6161 is a great starter, or continuation box. At the Lego shop http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=6161 this toy costs £9.91. I suspect in the Amazon add they have got the wrong picture and number of the box with the price 19.99 the bigger box number 6166 costs 19.99p, The Lego comes in a sturdy deep rectangular blue box with a lid. I know from experience what an advantage it is to have a good sturdy box to keep Lego in. It keeps all the Lego together in one place. Keeps Lego away tidily. The card boxes break fairly easily. Much easier to have a big tub for your child to put all the Lego pieces in. Remember do encorage your child to pick them all up they are painful to stand on with bare feet. Lego is easy to clean just a wash in hot soapy water Now in this blue creator Lego box is an assortment of 221...

Mini flying with Lego

Advantages: good Lego addition
Disadvantages: none

...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...

Review of Lego Creator: Creative Building

We love Lego!

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: Nothing!

...My four year old absolutely loves this product. We built the house together and he had hours of fun role playing different situations with it. The great thing is that you can then break it up and build other creations with it. We have built a bungalow, a shed, a garage and even a fire station. There is no end to the possibilities of things to build. Even though my son is quite young to buil it on his own, we love building it together. We now have 'Lego Time' every night when my baby daughter is in bed- it is a great chance to play together and bond. He loves our time building Lego. In fact he is up in his room building something now, while i write this!...

LEGO BRICK BOX 6161 FOR CREATIVE LITTLE MINDS

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

...enabling him to be able to build things from scratch therefore negating the need to destroy. We decided that good old Lego would be one of these items. I was quite surprised at the cost of Lego however liked the fact that their products come in various levels of complexity based on age. He is star wars mad so we bought a couple of starter kits for him from our local toyshop. There was also a rather large blue box which was on special offer so we decided to purchase this as well with the view that we could return the more expensive star wars items if he decided that it wasn't for him. This review will be based on the starter box known as Lego 6161. This item was purchased at an independent toy shop on special offer for £6.99. I have done some online research and it can be purchased at Amazon for £8.99 and Tesco direct for £9.97. (I know where...

Lego Belville Advent Calendar

Advantages: So much fun! Looks so cute. Unique and different
Disadvantages: Just for girls! Maybe not as Christmas themed as could be

...As a nice alternative to chocolate advent calendars, this year my boyfriend got me a 'Belville Lego Calendar' instead. I secretly wanted the 'Lego Advent Calendar' but since my boyfriend had got that one we couldn't have the same one! I was quite a big Lego fan when I was younger, and still am! But I am not so familiar with the 'Belville' selection of Lego since it is still quite new. Belville is the same as normal Lego.. but for girls. So lots of pink, girly and glittery things! (This is definitely not a unisex calendar!) We bought our advent calendars direct from the Lego website and they cost £12.99. The advent calendars are recommended for people 5 years + The calendars are very exciting. They are very thick (around 2 - 2.5 inches), and they are slightly bigger than a normal sized chocolate advent calendar. The front...

Go Go Lego!

Advantages: Great selection of bricks
Disadvantages: None

...This super Lego selection come in a great storage box, perfect if you ever want to see your child's bedroom carpet again! If my son tips all the Lego out, we often use the lid to scoop it all back into the box. There are lots of different coloured bricks, including doors, windows and roof tiles. My son has built allsorts with this- bugalows, sheds, fire stations, houses, shops, walls, parks, playhouses, trees and much much more. Every night we have 'Lego Time' when my baby daughter is in bed- its a greta chance to bond. This Lego box means whatever my son suggests we build, we,ve got the lego pieces to do it. It is a great box to start your child's lego passion going....

Review of Lego Creator: Brick Box

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 - 'let's you go'.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...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! In my opinion, Lego is an excellent way of encouraging a child...
