LEGO DUPLO 6759 Busy Farm

My daughter got this for her 3rd birthday, and she loves it! Each page has 4 lines of text for the parent to read, and then says, for example, "Let's build Bright-eyed Rooster. What does he say?" The pages each have a detailed illustration of the storyline plus a picture of the blocks used to make each animal. My favorite thing about the book is that the pictures of the blocks are printed to scale. This helps my daughter because she is able to find each block, put it on top of the corresponding picture, and then push the pieces together. The illustrations and the text are good, but certainly not remarkable. If not for the interactive piece

(putting together the lego animals), I don't think it would hold my daughter's attention, much less mine. With the lego-building activities, however, it is brilliant. The way that the reading and hands-on tasks are interspersed is perfect for keeping a young child's attention.

One other thing worth commenting on is the packaging: it comes in a clear plastic resealable bin. I am so happy they decided to package it that way. Otherwise it would be impossible to keep all the pieces together. If your child has other Legos, you will probably want to make sure these pieces don't get mixed in with the others. It would take away all the fun if you had to search for pieces each time you read the book.

I bought this for my newly 3 year old grandson. He can read quite well, but I read it to him, as he was too interested in building the toys to be bothered. The building "instructions" were very easy to follow, but he loved having them to follow. After a few tries, he was able to build the animals without the instructions, but he just liked looking at them. I think this is a great, durable toy because not only is there reading available but also small motor control manipulation, following instructions, and other good stuff. I wish it were priced at about $10 but anything Lego is expensive.

I love these little sets as gift ideas for young children! I adore the combination of a board book with DUPLO bricks! The book is very cute, and my kids thoroughly enjoyed building the different animals, as did their friends (we received sets to try out through House Party). My one critique is that the set shows a person, but does not include any people. I think the addition of a farmer would really complete the set, and make it even more interesting to young children.

I bought this when I daughter was about 4 months old. My husband and I are big Lego fans and wanted to make sure we give our daughter the same experience.

With my daughter learning to grasp, she gains sensory and motor skills. Reading the book to her, encourages language skills. Building the animals will aid with problem solving skills in her future. We can also practice color recognition and animal recognition. I also always throw in a few rounds of "Old MacDonald" to extend the fun and learning opportunities. It's a great learning tool all around.

This is a nice little set to have for young children to introduce them Legos. And the younger they are when you give it to them, the more use they will get out of it.
