[quote=Anonymous]Kids are all different. My oldest couldn't build most of the medium/large kits on his own until probably 10yo. He rarely did much freelancing building either - he was all about the end result, which he typically wanted to play with (and inevitably break.) That flipped a few years, but for him Legos are still an imaginative play toy. He's about to turn 13yo and still loves them. My nephew was all about building and did it all solo from 5yo onward. I think he has more of an engineer attitude about legos; he found the building more interesting than the end result. He's also a tween and now wants to be an architect. He's way over legos now though unlike my son. Moral of the story: Some kids are drawn to legos for the imaginary play, some for the building/engineering. One way is not better than the other as far as I'm concerned. As annoying and expensive as they can be, legos are a lot better than what follows: video games, girls, driving....[/quote]
