DD has had Duplo from very early on, but I guess the best way to judge, does he like to put things in his mouth? Perhaps you can jsut take out the large pieces and leave the smaller pieces for when her gets bigger and understands a bit better?
What an awesome offer, it is quite expensive to buy, but it is the best toy it lasts forever and is timeless and great for rainy days, and really good for creativity etc!
Well we already had it in the house, so DS2 has been playing with it for ages. All four of them can sit for hours building things. We do have some duplo/megablocs, but mostly lego and thats what he plays with the most. We haven't had any issue with him putting it in his mouth either luckily. But if I were offered some I would take it and if you don't think he's ready, or you think DS2 will just eat it, then put it away till they are older. Lego is expensive so the less you have to buy the better
I'm with Trillian - if I were offered lego, I'd definitely accept, even if I had to put it away for another couple of years - it's expensive, and you can never have enough
I'd grab it with both hands!!! My dad has a bucket of lego at home that was my brothers and it is still in mint condition so it lasts forever.
Usually they start getting into real lego at about 5ish.
We have lego here and both my girls love it. Both build things with it, DD1 obviously builds a lot more than DD2 due to their ages.
I would grab it while the offer is there!
DS has duplo now, but when we get out the Lego (DH's and mine: we kept ours from childhood/Uni... we like lego LOL) DS likes to play with it and has for a few months. So at two and a half, he can enjoy lego... just make sure he doesn't put it in his mouth.
I'd accept and get it out now... so I could play with it!
Thanks ladies. tbh, we don't really have anywhere appropriate here atm to store it...so if i bring it here, it's going to get used iykwim? that's why i was asking, as i can leave it with the owner for a bit longer if i like and take it in a year or two. it's just that we were at playgroup last week and i noticed ds1 was really enjoying building with some blocks (not lego) and i wondered if maybe he was ready now. i'm also thinking it could be a total nightmare having it here though and i can see it getting spread all over the house and driving me crazy iykwim?
