could I get by on one set for my 5.5 & 10 yr olds, opposed to buying regular and jr sets?

You actually have to buy both sets because the Math dice requires 2 of the 12 sided die and the Jr. version only comes with one and also requires that 3 of the dice have only the numbers 1, 2 and 3 on them. But it's a great game and the price for both is more than reasonable and wort it.

Buy the regular set and add 2 more 6 sided dice to turn it into a junior set. Look up the rules for Math Dice Jr online.

I don't think so--my boys play with their sets separately. I don't think they have tried to mix & match their wooden track engines with their Take and Play tracks.

Then you're sold !! My grandaughter mixes the two types all the time. Be prepared to hear how nice the other sets are becauswe these are more appealing the more they're played with. At least that's how it goes around here.

Hi there, I bought this set for my boys, who were 5 & 7 at the time of the purchase and they like it a lot. They had it in their day care center in Pre-K, where the kids are 4 & 5. I have a 4-year-old girl now who I do not see building anything with the set but plays with it once the brothers built something already, so I do not know what to answer for a 4 years old. Maybe yes for boys if he is able to focus and follow instructions in the booklet. I would recommend it more though for a 5-years-old boy. Hope this helps! Irina

I will have to Yes, with as fast as they grow it may be a slight bit advanced for right now, but it certainly won't take long before you would be looking at one like this anyway. It really is not all that large of a set, it just has one of everything with it. Happy with the one I purchased for our 10 year old. Hope this helps.

To be sure, there is VERY little building. For instance, one day might be a mini figure, the next a mini ship (maybe 10 pieces). The excitement is waiting for each day to come to open the next. In your case, I would recommend the regular sets.

I think 5-10 is probably appropriate... The kinds of things they can make will get more difficult/complex but there are some simple designs as well. My son wanted the Remote Control Car ZOOBMobile set this year but I might wait another year on that.

My daughter is 7 years old, she almost can do this set by herself. So, at the age of 10 should be no problem

Yes and no. By itself "starter set" just means it has everything a kid would need to have bunch of different vehicles and such to play with at once instead of buying multiple sets. Normally Lego does only one vehicle or such in a set that cheap but this way a kid can play with just one set and have enough to enjoy it. As for the age, once a kid is good with Lego everything is easy so it just becomes a function of whether it's something he'd enjoy.

I would recommend the jr as it definitely has cards he can figure out, and cards that will challenge him. Once he's mastered them all you can buy more difficult cards (like those in the regular set) for a couple of bucks to use with the junior pieces. That's what we did.

It depends how many categories you have. I have a bigger family, so I use more than one set. I don't use all of the second set so I do have some extras.

Not enough benefit to merit the price difference. The children might be able to see into the structures they build, so if they have created a garage, for example, they might be able to see the car inside. Howeverthisis the 2nd set I've bought and both boys (ages 5 and 6) love the solids!

If they sell them single and not as a set then I don't see why not. If one is all you need and you are able to then just buy one.

No. Start with 100. Add 100 at a time. Forget the sets with cars and novelty pieces. Kids will use other toys they have, using their imagination. The solids are not that attractive. You will need enough so the adults can play. For really young kids, put some pieces in different containers with varying types of lids. Place a large cutting board on the carpet for a base, step back and stay out of it.

i have 4 yrs old and also teach 23 other toddler they love the bigger set since they can creat a lot .If the child is into cars and buildings he would need a bigger set .it is a good investment.kids sit there for hrs together and their creativity and imagination builds up.

I would say yes. My son will be 7 in April and he gets just enough out of it to where I don't feel guilty for not getting the most expensive set. I figure that start him out with these and if they decide they really like playing the drums I'll up grade later because at this age, who knows what next year will bring. I hope this helps.

I would recommend you start 10 year olds with the Green xx light or yellow x light versions. But for someone that age you may want to consider or FULL RANGE set. It is inexpensively priced and you get a Yellow, Blue, Red and Black, so he/she can move progressively through heavier resistance and have extra units for both hands, and Mom or Dad can use the harder ones to set a good example. There may be imitators, so you want Weiss Medical! Thanks.
