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...

A base for those duplo constructions.

Advantages: makes a good base for a duplo model
Disadvantages: none

...I play with Lego duplo building plate's identical to this nearly every day; we have some at work, and guess what I have some at home for the grandchildren to build on. . Lego duplo is a really good construction toy and when your child is making a building these base plates are good for added stability and a firm base to build on. Lego duplo is suitable for children aged 3 -5 years old, but this really depends on their maturity, development and skills I have known under threes play happily with duplo and over 5's play with it too. Duplo helps develop your child's gross and fine motor skills; these plates being different colours are attractive and can help colour recognition. These base plates come in a set of 3, a red one a blue one a green one. Each of these base plates are 6 studs by 9 studs 54 studs in total. These plates...
