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

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 suppose you could. I think this set is meant for 4 people. Everyone gets one stick of each color/size (there are 4 sets). There are I believe 5 sizes. I am not sure that 2 sets would work on the same tower, but I think it would be fun to do 2 full sets with 2 teams of people (see whom's team can build structure the fastest without falling down- this kind of thing ). I think the supporting stick is not meant for 2 sets. But I could see your idea of 2 sets being fun. (or each person gets one, etc...) My daughter is 4 and loves it, my nephews are 6 they love it, but I believe the box says for 8 yrs old. I suppose you could. I think this set is meant for 4 people.

Yes, actually a 5 year old could play on this set. It is really fun, and in that you can play them with a headset so as not to get the rest of the family, or the near by neighbors upset while your 5 year old is learning to play!

It's fun but the designs can be hard for kids to make on their own. 5 might still be too young. Great if you already have a different set as they can be used together.

Definitely not. My boys are older than 6, and they all love it. Since we have 3 of the sets, they have a lot of fun putting the track in different configurations. I think at 6, he would enjoy it.

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 totally understand- it's fun to create different designs, but it would be cooler if you could do them taller. We have an older set, from a friend who's kids are grown and I'm not sure what brand it is, but it's more sturdily built & I was hoping we could use them together, but these marbulous ones are a little smaller. I wish I could help more, but all I know is the two sets we have are not compatible, so at this point I would recommend getting more of the same. I've seen these things in teacher supply /educational stores though, so maybe you could bring a piece into one of them & ask to try another one? Good luck!

Nope, my 8yr has built a set (7 at the time with a littile help) and his older brother (12 at the time) can build it on his won. Just lots of 1x1 squares and other smaller bricks. This was on the Orgional set. This will most likely be under the tree this year for them.

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.

No. To small. The set is ok for little kids.would be a good starter set for 10 and under.

It's probably more than you need with the kids. It's a beautiful solid well made set but you could get away with something more tpy like for little kids. I would stress if kids abused this beautiful set.

I dont think so but there r sets that are specifically for "cars" so they have more wheels.remember all the sets work together. We have 3 sets so far and the kids love them. Great for road trips too.

For most parks you would only need one set. The parks today are more level than the old parks. If you travel to out of the way places you may need two sets.

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.

Yes, the more variety of Lego sets the better. I bought this set and another similar to it for the different style pieces. My granddaughters have enjoyed them and are building items without plans just for the fun of creating. They then take them apart and try other ideas.

I did not get a toddler set, instead I got a regular twin set. My grandson has been in a twin bed since he got out of the crib. MU sheet sets are great for small children up to the age of 5 and more.

I'm sure he would still like the set, but don't know for how long. It is more for the younger guy. When my guy was younger he loved them, he's now 4 and will on occasion pull them out but really prefers his die cast and wooden trains.
