Has anyone given these to a child under 4 years old? My 3.5 year old is pretty adept with Duplo and has refined motor skills.

I have given it to a 3.5 year old. He loves it. May not be able to build the animals by himself as yet but it a good practice. Most importantly always supervise

One of our kids turns 3 tomorrow, he likes legos more than duplos. As long as your kids are out of the "put every toy in my mouth" phase, you should be in the clear

yes, our twin nephews have been playing with legos NON stop since they were 3yr 3mo and are now almost 6 1/2 with a huge table, large city built in their room from which they continue to add/delete/change

Yes, my 3 year old has been playing with these for a while, but he was never one to put things in his mouth. He loves it and it really helps him use his hands.

My 4 year old boy LOVES it! It is very easy for him to put on and take the attachments off. None of the parts are too small nor the ropes long enough to be harmful so I don't think it would be a problem for a 3 year old or a supervised 2 year old to play with either. The button on top that makes noises is a lot of fun. I could also see a 5-8 year old who enjoys Octonauts also having a lot of creative fun with it. I hope that answers your question. We also have all the characters, sea creatures and GUP B and C and he plays with them all the time.

I gave the first set I bought to a 3-year-old, and he got very excited when he saw the magnets attract and jump together to form a tower. The pieces were laid out flat first which didn't impress him, but when I pulled it up and everything came together he got excited. At that age your son might get frustrated easily because he'll have to be careful handling his creations. They will come apart if not handled correctly, so you'll need to emphasize that it's OK and can be put back together. Mine cried the first couple of times until he realized he could do it. He's now almost 5 years older, and he and his brother have 4 sets. They still copy designs included, but they also use their imaginations and come up with their own elaborate designs. The 5-year-old just asked for another set, and his 6-year-old cousin specifically asked for them for his birthday!

Our son (who is now 6) was exposed to these (and similar) at his child care provider when he was 4-5 and loved them. At that age, they need support to build the specific cars in the book. At 6, he can construct on his own as well "free lance" to any shape he wants. We really like this toy as it allows for both structured and non-structured activity.

They are probably too "young" for a ten year old although it depends on the child. My 4 year old granddaughter gets slightly frustrated while using them but she still manages to make items!

No my 2 1/2 yr old grandson plays with them w/ his 4 yr. old brother just make sure they get turned off, batteries run down fast when left on laying around!!

My three yr old daughter got a LEAPSTER for her 3rd Christmas. And she did quit well with it and has played the older games. She is now 4 and doing math. So I think they are very age apporiate IF used with learning games. It takes them awhile to figure it all out but she played what she could with the pre-k games. (coloring, shapes, take care of pets, etc.)

I'd say so. Do they already play with Duplo? Are they starting to engage in creative play (this is a dinosaur/I made a helicopter etc)? If so I'd say yes. It is more painful to step on than Duplo and takes longer to clean up :)

My kids had no problem using them at age 3 & 5. They vary in strength throughout the pack, but most are easy to operate.

I have had a duplo table for mine since my oldest was about 18 months. They are now 3 and 4 1/2 and they still play on the table. If you have the money you might consider a flip table so that it would grow with them like this one.

I bought that deluxe set for my 11 year old grandson and bought the simpler versions for my 4, 5, and 6 year old grandsons. I am sure that part of it is more complicated than others and it is a toy she can grow into gradually. I really have not checked how the kids are doing with these...they were Christmas gifts.

In my view a 4-year-old child is too young for Lego 3315, Olivia´s House. The toy requires attention and focus , which is a bit too much for such a young person . My daughter is 7 years old.

My son is 4 and it's fine for him. They're plastic/rubber-y figures with no little parts to come off so younger kids should be fine, too. And older ones that like to play with figures and use their imaginations should be fine, too. Happy shopping!

I think these are delicate toys made to be played with delicate hands. Maybe they should suggest this for kids a little older! No problems here.

They were given to my granddaughter, so I do not have them in my home to measure for you. I would look for the Lego Duplo blocks that are specific for "1-1/2 to 5 year olds". If you look online, there are several different sets that are Lego blocks for this age group. A one to two year old is able to handle them with a little assistance.

I believe that Duplo blocks are bigger for small hand and easier to build with...especially under 4 years old. Lego are much smaller blocks and are more difficult to snap together or take apart but you can build some elaborate buildings. Hope this helps.

I got these for a 2-3 year old and he likes them. I think they would be fun. You could also find a board to put them on (dry erase board) and markers and let him create his own scenery?
