| sopharr's Full Review: LEGO - Classic Set With Building Table |
If your child is like my child they will thoroughly enjoy this Classic Lego Set with Building Table.
I was able to get this set at an online Toy Store for a great clearance price. I was expecting more of a lap desk kind of thing that my child could place over their lap. However I was not disappointed when my purchase arrived. I received a little table with two self contained storage bins on either side. Covering those were 2 base plates, that when slid together to the middle of the table allow for a building surface. And in those bins were hundreds of legos!
My daughter was able to have this classic toy for her fourth birthday. And at first I was disappointed in her reaction, however, I am no longer disappointed. She has spent the last week visiting all of her new things for brief periods, but in the end she always returns to her new lego set. And she spends quite a while with them. Sometimes she wants me to play with her, other times I need to stay away. Regardless of which it may be, she is constantly chattering, describing her actions and making up scenarios as she goes.
I think this toy has provided my child with some much needed small motor practice, and allows for her fascinating imagination to grow daily.
My only concern is my two year old who manages to also get into the bins and proceeds to fling them across the room. Many of the pieces are quite small. Initially I was worried he may choke, but it doesn't seem to have become an issue. It is finding all of those tiny little pieces that is frustrating. A small price to pay for the benefits we have gotten by adding this toy to our home.
