There is so much to do with these. As they get older, it gets more complex. I've seen junior high children enjoying making things with these and using them to make exepriments with movement (roller coasters, cranks) I even watched a group of fifth graders make a HUGE ferris wheel that actually worked!</p> This is by far one of my all time favorite toys for all children who are beyond the mouthing stage.

My 4-year-old son also likes them, but has never been as crazy about them as his sister. She makes all kinds of weird creatures and then plays with them for hours.

If you mean the small bricks, I have an extensive Lego collection, but won't be introducing that for a year or two. </p> My daughter never really got into Duplo blocks (the jumbo ones).
