Ultimate LEGO DUPLO Building Set

Bought this for my 3 year old niece. She uses this set everyday. The pieces are large and easy for a young child to handle. The other day she called to tell me that she was making a Lego castle for me :)

Great toy. Highly recommended. Kids love it, and I rather have them play with blocks than with guns or watch TV.

My son got this last Christmas when he was 15 months old, and loved it immediately. He didn't "build" much with it at first (I've heard from other parents that kids don't really have the hand strength and coordination at that age) but enjoyed sorting the blocks and taking apart things that I made for him. Now, at 23 months, he is more into both building things - mostly towers or "helping" me build a house- as well as taking them apart. He likes naming all the colors of the blocks, and also puts the "car" in the garage and puts "George" (our name for the little guy) to bed in his house. I expect we'll get a lot of play out of this set for some years, though we may need to buy another set or two so he can build more complex things.

This was not a bad buy for my son. He enjoys throwing them all of the place. I am starting to think I purchased this a little early. He does like the fact he can knock down everything I try to build.

My three year old daughter loves these blocks. I like them because they are compatable with the Lego Quatro, which have been her favorites for the last two years. They won't build the big structures you are used to building with quatro, but they have more variety to spark the imagination. My only complaint is there doesn't seem to be enough, they could have put twice as many blocks in this bucket!
