LEGO DUPLO Tub Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I initially bought this set for my three-year-old but thought better of it since he was almost 4. So, I bought him a regular set of Legos and was going to take these back. However, after much frustration with the smaller legos, i.e. not being able to get them apart very easily, etc., I brought these out and well, it's been true love ever since. I really recommend these for the younger set - I bought the smaller ones because I didn't think he'd get much good out of these since they indicate that they're only to age 5. Don't pay any attention to the age on these. They can expand and older kids can use these and since they smaller ones say age three, I wouldn't pay attention to that either. Grab the bigger ones for ages 2-6 or so, they will be able to use them and have fun as well.

Tinker Toy 200-piece Plastic Construction Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked this set over the other 105-piece set offered here because there are so many more pieces for the money. Once I get it, I notice that this is a different set with somewhat different pieces, and all the pieces are made of plastic, while the other set is made of wood. I don't mean this to be a bad thing, because there are a few ingenious-looking connectors that you can turn to change its angle of connection, and I doubt it can be made in wood the same way. I bought it for my 5 year old son who finds it a little difficult to poke the sticks into the connectors because they fit rather snug, but after a while he got used to it. He isn't used to it not having instruction like Legos, though, so he just looks at the picture on the can with frustration until I build it for him. I then take digital pictures as I dismantle the project so that he can then use them as instructions. He does OK. The set is bright colored and sturdy, and it makes a beautiful and realistic Ferris wheel that stands about 2.5 feet tall, complete with ride chairs that remains vertical as the wheel spins.
Besides not having instructions, my other complaint is that the entire set fills only half of the can if you just dump everything in, and the can is made out of paper (except for its top and bottom). I think they wouldn't have gone broke if they made the whole can in tin, and it would have lasted a lot longer. Overall, I am happy with my purchase, but I may consider buying the other set too.
