[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure how much it costs but my husband bought our new-5-year-old a set of something like 1500 Lego pieces at Costco a month or two ago, so you might check there. I will keep spending money on Legos because my son spends hours and hours creating stuff and his imagination runs wild. I love it. Such a great way to create. He enjoys building the specific sets a few times but I actually think just buying lots of pieces is great for us because he loves making his own creations.

And my 3-year-old daughter is starting to build stuff with his Duplos.[/quote]

Ok, so I am confused. With 1500 pieces plus more from sets, how does buying more sets use his imagination or enhance creativity? Wouldn't imagination/creativty be putting things together out of the supply he has on hand? Are the specialty pieces in the sets that meaningful? Or. . . . is it about putting together a set according to the directions?

We had a lot of lego pieces, many from thrift stores, I bought a few sets over the years, and I think I gave them to someone when DS grew up.

I did keep the supply of wooden building blocks, bought multiple sets new, used. They got used way more than the legos actually. [/quote]
