Lego Duplo VS Lego Juniors

[babybear11]

Hey.

Just looking for opinions please!

What's the difference between the two Lego? Ds1 is a fan and currently we own and are buying Lego duplo. For Xmas I'm after batsman Lego but just seen both do some. What would you recommend?

A part of me just thinks stick with duplo we can our do our collection ans it's abit more sensible with ds2 around. Xx

I prefer the duplo whilst my little ones are still young, bigger pieces for a start so less for them to make a mess with and for me to pick up I also find because they're bigger they're easier for littler hands and for them to construct stuff, I also found with Lego sometimes they contained little bits that may be too small for really little ones. I'd say the normal lego is maybe 4-5+.

isabelle is really into duplo lego shes got the cinderella castle and were gonna get her another couple of sets for xmas.. better than megabloks but ideal for smaller hands x

I would probably stick with the dulpo - lego junior is the small pieces but less complex than the lego for older children. I would worry too much with your youngest around and for young children they can get frustrated with normal lego as they are not always gentle with it and what they have built came come apart fairly easily.

Lego junior is great for older kids but with your LOs age I'd stick with lego duplo, it's easier to find all the pieces x

We are looking into getting junior for DS but he will be 4.5 at xmas. From my experience
Lego = small pieces
Lego junior = easier to handle small pieces (connect onto lego)
Duplo = bigger building blocks (will not connect onto lego)

I've just seen the Lego Juniors Castle and need to buy it ha ha.

My LO will be 4 in November, he still happily plays with his duplo and think he will enjoy it for a while to come.

I will get some Junior sets for his birthday I thinK!

My ds1 is only just on the lego juniors and he is 4 and a half. He still loves duplo too as his little brother who is 2 has inherited all of his old sets x
