my grandsons are 18 mos. and 3 1/2...should I get them a duplo table or a lego table?

they are too far apart in age for a correct answer, boys play with lego til 10-12 years but thepieces are too small for an 18 month old boy.

For both of them I think it will be better to by Duplo Table. Thanks for the question.

I have had a duplo table for mine since my oldest was about 18 months. They are now 3 and 4 1/2 and they still play on the table. If you have the money you might consider a flip table so that it would grow with them like this one.

In my opinion ... Not good for duplos. Not too many will fit. We have a separate table for duplos. It's a triangle with approx. 7.5 in sides & less than a foot deep. My 3 boys LOVE the table, but extra storage space is needed.

NEVER! The fun of Legos is being able to create and use fertile imaginations that only a child can have. My grandson has an entire table with all kinds of redistributed Lego blocks and characters that only he can understand.

Hi, I think the best set for your child is the Duplo Series if this set is his/her firts lego set or the Junior Series is made with the traditional lego bricks but the sets are very easy to build.

I believe that Duplo blocks are bigger for small hand and easier to build with...especially under 4 years old. Lego are much smaller blocks and are more difficult to snap together or take apart but you can build some elaborate buildings. Hope this helps.

Hello, Not sure if the Lego Duplos would fit... he's not into Lego's anymore so (baseplate)is in the attic. We did however have to glue it to a wooden board as its wobbly and Lego bricks popped off when carrying.

I'd say so. Do they already play with Duplo? Are they starting to engage in creative play (this is a dinosaur/I made a helicopter etc)? If so I'd say yes. It is more painful to step on than Duplo and takes longer to clean up :)

Lego is a much better/sturdier brand than Mega. For the really little ones, the huge Mega Bloks are good, but when they're in the preschooler age, Duplos seem to be a lot better.

There isn't 2 of everything but they could both build cars and small houses without a problem. If they like to build the same things I'd get 2 sets. My boys build great together with this set. The argument we have is over who gets to be Lego guys. We bought a set of people and still have a few spats.

My son just turned 2. He liked the Megablocks when he was 1 (mainly banging) but as of 6 months ago he graduated to Duplos and wants nothing to do with the Megablocks. For me it's just my son's preference. I do agree with all other posts that they are better quality and they stay together much better.

He is the perfect age for the Duplo blocks. The regular ones are too tiny until the child is 7 or 8 yrs. old. Gave this to our Grandson for Christmas, he is 4, LOVES it because he can do it all himself & his Mom loves that she gets time to herself while he plays.

They are a bigger Lego. Definitely more appropriate for younger. Mine is age 3-4 yrs.

These are larger than the regular Legos, they will work with Duplo size blocks, they are made for little hands 3 to 5 yrs.

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

I would, off the top, say no. It has small pieces that can be hard to mainpulate for younger hands. DUPLO would be more appropriate for a younger child and later LEGO connect to DUPLO bits.

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.

the duplo blocks fit but not fit. They can go in but you have to really push it in so it is not good for the little hands. I gave it away so don't buy it for lego purposes. Hope this help
