LEGO Review

I have loved Legos since I was a little girl - I still have fond memories of the army-green huge bucket of thousands of pieces that we carted around on EVERY vacation, to every sleepover and through every room in our house.  Over the years, we probably scattered the things in more hotel rooms and backyards than I care to think about, but we always got more come Christmas and birthdays, so the bucket was never empty.  Legos are an amazing toy - when you buy the sets that make a motorcycle or a space station, they show you where you can start, and then your imagination just goes wild.  They're a wonderful toy for beginning builders because their Duplo blocks are large, easy to handle, and great to tug apart again as toddlers learn their ways around finer motor skills and start to develop their creativity.  They're a well-rounded toy for mostly every age, and I've never found something better!  While their cost is sometimes rather prohibitive, the holidays are a fine time to scope out good deals, and with how long they last and the hours and hours of entertainment they provide, they're an EXCELLENT value for the money!
