[quote=Anonymous]No Lego table needed. My son plays Legos at the kitchen table on a rimmed baking sheet or on his little IKEA table that has a bit of a lip to keep small pieces from rolling away.

He started at 3 with the Lego Junior sets that we would build together. Then he graduated to the 3 in 1 sets that we would do together. Eventually he would take them apart and re-create them himself.

Each set has a few extra pieces and a book. I keep those in a gallon zip lock and if he ever takes sets apart we put them back in that back.

After about a year and 4-5 sets, he started to enjoy the big Lego creative box we got him and around 4.5 he started making up his own creations and not just following instructions.

My kid likes new sets because a few we got at garage sales turned out to be missing pieces when we took them apart and tried to recreate them with the instructions we downloaded from the Lego website. That said he doesn’t need a lot. Most of the 3 in 1 sets are $12-20 and he gets a set from us and 2 more from grandparents for Birthday and Christmas. [/quote]
