Great as first blocks set for your toddler
My daughter is 18 months old and she loves to play with blocks. She developed interest in bigger blocks that came with the activity table. She liked to create a tower with it. To elaborate more of her hand-eye co-ordination skills, I bought this 90 piece bucket for her. It is a perfect first blocks set for a toddler. The blocks are not too big like Mega blocks and not much small like Duplo blocks. This size is perfect for their tiny hands to work with. Plus I find the bucket has nice quantity of blocks, not too many to get tired of the mess and not too little so that the young ones get to explore enough.

Freedom to choose
These blocks were the LARGE DUPLO size blocks, which was not well-explained in the item description. Of course, I noted the age range but stupidly assumed that these were the same size as the regular lego blocks.

Anyway, my 4 year old got them for Christmas and she liked playing with them on Christmas day. However, my parents gave her a real Lego set the next day and she plays with it much more!

All in all: Great for the money. Lots of imaginative play. Very sturdy and easy to put together and take apart. Be aware these are large blocks great for smaller hands!

Endless play
Im a mother of 2 girls,1 and 3. My oldest girl recieved lego duplo blocks as a gift when she was 18 months and her, her sister and her 4 year old friend play with them EVERY day!
They love them so much that i bought 3 more buckets and a lego table! Of all the toys in the house (and there are lots of them) the lego's get used the most

Great 90 Piece Set
This is a large bucket has 90 pieces in it. There are lots of the standard shapes, including 57 squares, 13 rectangles, and 2 thin rectangles. There are also some fun and unusual shaped blocks including 4 squares with eyes on them, 2 squares with slanted edges, 6 rectangles with rounded edges, 1 half round, 2 rectangles with a quarter round cut-out, 1 rectangle with two quarter round cut-outs, 1 windmill blade, and a rounded top piece that the windmill blade attaches to. ...

Editorial Review

A wonderful learning toy for toddlers, this LEGO set contains 75 oversized building blocks of various sizes and colors. The blocks fit on top of each other simply and snugly, and pull apart with ease. The set comes contained in a sturdy plastic storage tub. The lid isn't terribly secure; preschoolers will probably be able to open it easily. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

THE BEST!
If we have to choose just one toy, this is it!!
My son has the blocks everywhere he goes (he's 23 months old), I mean everywhere. In the car, in the restaurants, in the house, he always has some blocks in his hands. He's loved to build blocks for almost an year. The best toy ever.
I also recommend the lego block table (I bought it in Kidsrus store). The table seems a little bit high for a 2 year old boy, so my son has to fold his legs when building blocks on it. But, worth to buy it:-)

Good basic
Bought this for my 2 year old who has access to lot of LEGOs at daycare but was asking for LEGOS at home. She loves it, lots of creative games with it, including bath toy, and I have rediscovered my childhood LEGO skills! Excellent basic starter kit. Only reservation for younger child these are medium size blocks, still be cautious on putting in mouth.

GREAT HAND CORDINATION LEARNING
...mY SON IS 21 MONTHS OLD AND HE ENJOYS THE LEGOS.IT REALLY HELPS THE LIL ONES TO BUILD THEIR EYE AND HAND CORDINATION.THEY HURT THOUGH WHEN YOU STEP ON THEM BUT ITS WORTH IT BECAUSE HE ENJOYS THEM.ITS NOT A TOY THAT THEYLL GET TIRED OF.AND YOU PARENTS KNOW HOW THAT GOES

A great set to add to your collection
I bought this small bucket to add to the large bucket so I could get another car to snap onto the two the larger set came with. My baby is 14-month's-old and loves her Mommy and Daddy to drive the 3 car train set all around her room. This is a good basic Lego set. Not too many small useless peices. She really likes it and is just learning how to snap them together herself. She is an expert, however, at taking them apart! It gives her great joy to rip apart the creations her parents build for her. She loves grabbing into the bucket and sorting the peices in little piles, then putting them back in the bucket. Perfect for a toddler!

Excellent
Not only is this toy fun for my 4 year old, but my 8 month old enjoys the drool factor (collects in the sprockets). A great learning experience - if it falls, try again! It has lasted 3 years and I will be sad to trade it in for the smaller version that so easily gets underfoot. Great bright colors with a variety of pictures on some of them for building ideas. Portable toys that everyone loves. Container is very durable for keeping toys out of site. Lid fits on nicely. Highly recommended!!! ... Read more

legos are fun
my 5 year old has the dexterity to handle the small pieces and spends hours making her own toys with them. she would rather play with this than anything else. she has lost a few pieces, but still has plenty for building fun.

A great Lego set!
My son loves Legos, and I love that they let him use his imagination! This is a nice assortment of 200 Legos. The idea booklet that is included is great. This would make a great gift for any Lego fan-- affordable and FUN! ... Read more

Stimulates Curiosity and Creativity
Have you noticed how many toys these days encourage children to just be spectators? Or predetermine exactly how the child will use the toy? One example of this is a toy that purports to be an exciting archealogical dig, but simply involves the child removing clay from an "artifact." How much skill or creativity is involved in THAT?

Legos is one of the few manufacturers that makes toys that give the child free rein to create and conceive. (Although I notice that even Legos is producing more toys that give exact instructions on what to build rather than providing pieces that can be used in multiple ways.)

My 2 1/2 year old niece loves this set. She isn't quite ready to make things that match the included instructions, but she has a lot of fun putting the bricks together and coming up with her own creations. That's how I'd rather see her play anyway, rather than building to a blueprint. She prefers these regular-size bricks to the toddler Duplo bricks.

LEGO Bucket beats Television
The average LEGO set discourages creativity and has limited uses, e.g., the LEGO motorcyle kit. This product sold by Amazon is a huge volume of universal LEGO pieces.
With today's smart kid's, the manufacturers may mis-estimate age applicable age ranges. Think Age 3-7 if little fingers are strong enough. Can be passed from older to younger kids. ... Read more
