Frequently asked questions

Can a 3-year-old play with regular LEGO?
No. Regular LEGO (System) is rated 4+ because of its small parts. The right line for a 3-year-old is LEGO Duplo, with big bricks that are easy to grip and impossible to swallow.
Which Duplo set should I pick for a 3-year-old?
Themed sets are a safe bet: a train, a farm, a playground. Go for a set with 50-150 pieces: big enough that play does not end after 10 minutes, not so complex that it puts the child off.
How much should I spend on LEGO for a 3-year-old?
A typical budget is 100-250 zł. Smaller Duplo sets (up to 100 zł) are great for topping up a collection. Bigger ones (200-400 zł) work well as the main birthday or holiday gift.
