My grandson is turning 5 - what are the best type of legos for him?

I really like the Creator builder sets which have pieces for building 3 different vehicles, etc. in one box.

My grandson got it when he was 4 - just before his 5th birthday - and he loved it. He played with the set on a regular basis until he was 10.

I think it's too complex for 5 yr kid, especially he/she is just getting into legos. It would be better ti choose ones with less pieces.

We gave our grandson one for Christmas--he was 4 then. he loved it. He is now 5--and he still enjoys it.

Yes, Lego Junior pieces are too small for a two year old. Lego Duplos are great for a two year old, though. :-)

Both our grandsons ages 6 and 7 have this item. They both with a little assistance built it and love it. You can't go wrong with Lego's.

The lego's are the small standard legos, not the mega blocks or the duplo. I hope this helps.

Elenco Snap Circuits are a good toy for this age group as well as Pictureka game. The little legos are really good for this age group as well.

Duplos are a great way to start. My 4 1/2 year old grandson still loves them and uses them at my house. He comes up with creative ways to play with them - a flying spaceship, etc., we build castles and use imagination. His dad has many sets of Legos at his house to pass on at some point.

I highly recommend Lego Duple Creative Cars. I bought it as a birthday gift for my toddler when he turned 2 years old. It has been 6 months since I bought him Creative Cars and he STILL plays with it everyday! He uses his hands a lot because the pieces are designed so that the child clicks together and pulls apart pieces in order to make different cars. My toddler always has such a serious look on his face when he is creating the cars. I do see him using his hand muscles to create various styles of cars. So far it has been the best toy of his life :)

I think it's more for 3-4 year olds. My 5 1/2 yr old grandson loves playing with his dad's old small lego sets. He loves the castle set, with horses and knights. He needs help putting things together, but then spends hours playing with them.

Hi, Chet! I think the set with wheels is great for toddler boys. As your child gets bigger, you may want to add to the Magna-tile collection because they start to really enjoy building big structures and towers. As a beginning set, though, the smaller one with wheels is fun!

They are standard size Lego bricks. I think it's easier for children 5+ to handle. There are quite a few of the smaller pieces (small circles) included, so those you should be mindful of. There are standard shapes (the white bricks especially) but also some special shapes (ex: the ones used to create the treehouse base structure, and the ones for the little fence and the roof pieces).

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, I think a 5 year old could put this together just fine (with a little help). The pieces are larger than the standard LEGOS. My granddaughter loves it.

I got them for my 7 year old nephew and he loved them. They are a little bigger than normal lego's - which make them easy to play with and build with.

I bought it for my 5 year old grandson, varying sizes of Legos, it has something for every age. A lot of pieces.
