Great toy!!!!
My daughters are ages 4 & 2...they both love this little table. They are learning to share and build together. They just sit on the floor stacking legos instead of watching TV! How great!

childs paradise
My 2 year old daugter just got this and she loves it, it's like i hardly ever see her anymore, everytimr we come home from somewhere that table is the first place that she goes. the lego table is good to build a child's color ability and also helps them to tell the differance in shapes. overall I think this lego table is worth your money...if you have a small child.

Fantastic Toy!!
My 16 month old got this table for Christmas and she loves it!! She is 19 months old now and can't stop playing with it. She entertains herself for hours. A must have!!

You must own this toy!
I purchased this for my two year old son for his birthday, he loves it! He plays with this all day. It not only boosts his creative side but he learns colors and counting as well.
It is very compact, we leave it in our family room and best of all you can store the legos in the side compartments.
I would recommend that you also order an additional bucket of lego blocks, it only comes with a few blocks, not enough to build cool stuff with. My husband and I find ourselves on the floor playing with our son, it's lots of fun :)

Great Entertainment!
We just got the Lego Preschool Playtable for our 11 month old son. He took to it right away! At first he would only distribute the blocks into the side compartments. I would attach them to the tabletop, and he'd remove them just as fast as he could and distribute them one by one into the side compartments. Now he's starting to put them on the tabletop and other various surfaces throughout the house. He's having great fun with the blocks, and the table is at the perfect height for him to play.

He's even started to share with me by handing me blocks so that I can put them on the tabletop. This is the first time he's ever "shared", so I'm quite pleased.

If your baby likes to stack or sort or play with containers by adding and subracting items, I think he or she will love this Playtable! ... Read more

Great set, fun for kids & parents alike
This is a fantastic set -- ideal for the youngster who has long interest in the traditional brightly-colored Duplo sets, but is still a bit young to manage standard Lego sets.I got this for my four-year-old, and he was able to assemble the castle shown in the picture above by following the instructions, with very little help.We then had fun playing with it together for a while, and then he tore it down and made up his own castle.With the elements in this set, you can make a wide variety of structures, from wide and flat to very tall towers.We have repeated this build-play-destroy cycle many times since then.

The set has a lot of really neat pieces in it, including a catapult, a portcullis that slides up and down in grooved blocks, a stonework arch, and some small plates with handles that can be used to make a drawbridge or dump a pot.The pot can also be used as a cooking pot, which goes well with the round table.There's also a neat ladder that hooks into a holder so that it's not constantly falling out of place.

My only disappointment with this set is that it's pretty violent for its age range -- all four figures have angry faces, and it includes swords, axes, and a mace.That was unnecessary; kids this age are happy just playing visit-the-castle.But I started play-acting the knights with good attitudes, and my son accepted it despite the mean faces, so this is a minor drawback.

As value goes, this set is hard to beat.The castles you build with it are enormous -- a regular Lego set this size would be $200.And most of these pieces are rare and highly valuable in the Lego aftermarket (just try to find someone selling gray Duplo bricks, for example).

Overall, these new Duplo Knight sets are a real winner -- way more fun than the standard Duplo sets, but big, sturdy, and easy for small hands to use.I highly recommend any of them, but if you're going to get one to start with, make it this one. ... Read more

Great starter Lego for wanna be olderyoung boys
This lego set hit the spot with my 2 1/2 year old who was always playing with my 5 year olds Knights Kingdom set but was frustrated because he couldn't really participate in the building.This set has child like blocks but is a full fledged big boy toy with the whole castle/dragon/knights theme.You really can't go wrong.We are looking forward to the other pieces to be released in 2005 also!

Are you brave enough to face the dragon?
This is part of a fantastic new series by Lego.Together with Knights' Castle (4777)and Knight and Squire (4775) you'll will have four knights for each side and elements enough to build two very good smaller castles or one big one.The quality of the elements and especially the dragon is superb - as usual for Lego.

These are the only toys still on the floor to play with of my 4 year old son's Christmas presents.His 2 year old brother is also part of the game, but most of the time as the evil Destroyer.His 6 year old sister would have liked to see a princess in the set.Afterall knights do kill dragons and do rescue princesses.

Cannot wait to get hold of the next set in the series released in 03-2005.

"Dad, of course the dragon can't close its mouth when it blows fire - it would be too hot and it would get burned"

Editorial Review

This 15-inch-square green base plate provides a building surface for anyDUPLO set. It is made of the same sturdy, impact-resistant plastic as other DUPLO toys, and has smooth, rounded edges. DUPLO sets are designed for use by toddlers (ages 18 months to 5 years), and have bigger pieces and more rounded shapes than traditional LEGO pieces, so they can accommodate the needs of younger users. If you are shopping for a baby, try the LEGO PRIMO sets, which are even bigger and easier to handle. --Katherine Ferguson ... Read more

A must have if you have Duplo
A base plate will make Duplo easier to use for your toddler. It provides a great base for their structures and towers. And if they want to keep their "masterpieces" up for a few days it makes it very easy for you to pick up the entire structure and put it somewhere safe until the next day. An fantastic accessory for any Duplo set.

Not just for Duplos!
My two-year-old daughter was just given one of these and a nice big tub of Duplos. Without a base, all she could do was build long chains of a single block type (and she'd get frustrated when the tower wouldn't hold together perfectly). I had tried to get her to see how to link things in other ways, but she just didn't see it. Enter the baseplate. Aha! She suddenly figured out what to do with the blocks, and builds little walls and houses and beds and things. Much more fun. It's also much more fun for Mom and Dad to play along with her when we can get more creative.

Now, here's the kicker. She had had a set of Maxi Mega Blocks for ages, but hadn't used them much (because of the tower-building problem). It turns out that Maxi Mega Blocks will also fit on this baseplate! You can't build Duplos on top of them, but that's not a big problem here. The Duplo baseplate rejuvenated the Maxi Mega Blocks as a cool toy for a toddler who likes to build.

If you're thinking about buying something for a kid who is too young for Duplos, try Maxi Mega Blocks and a Duplo baseplate (the Primo sets are nowhere near as good as MMB for actual building).

The only bummer is that the baseplate we have is rather thin and flexible, and I'm worried about her stepping on it and breaking it (hence the 3 stars for durability). It hasn't broken yet, but I've taken a fair bit of care to make sure of that. But don't let this deter you!

Duplo Baseplate
It has been the best to buy. This keeps the duplo in place and less cleaning. My 2 year old loves it. I had a toddler table and used velcro to attach it, instead of buying the table.

Great.

A essential piece of equipment

Daughter Loves It...
I bought this for my daughter who was turning one for her birthday. She loves music, and loves "playing" on the piano. So I though I would give this a try. It is very durable. She has carried it around the house and dropped it a few times. The plugs even made it through the dog's water dish a few times. I have ordered the two expansion packs. I agree that the plugs need a storage system. I have put ours in a basket.

Great idea but not as big a hit as I hoped
I bought this toy for my two and three year old. My two year old is nuts about music so I thought she would have a lot of fun changing the sounds and just playing around with it.

The Lego Music Builder plays 4 nice sounding melodies that can be adjusted by switching the instrument peices or using a dial to increase or decrease the tempo. Each port is labelled with harmony, rhythm, etc although you have to look closely to see these. The instrument sounds can be easily changed around by little hands. There is also an add on pack you can buy that has some fun animal noises. But devise some kind of storage system because otherwise you will be discovering the little instrument peices all over the house.

Truthfully, I had more fun and spent more time playing with it than either of my kids. I am hopeful that as they get a little older they will become more interested in playing with it and identifying the sounds different types of instruments make. It proved to be a bit expensive for the amount of time and level of enjoyment it provided in my opinion. ... Read more
