Advantages: good selection of bricks

Disadvantages: none

This town set of Lego comes in a red plastic storage box. This is very useful as otherwise Lego tends to get everywhere, no excuse for not tidying the Lego away then.

This box of Lego can be bought direct from the Lego shop online http://shop.lego.com and in many other department and toy shops RRP £24.49.

This Lego town collection is suitable for children over 4. Not suitable for under threes or those who are still mouthing as the small pieces might be swallowed and stuck in throat.

There are 689 bricks in this set. Lots of standard 4 and 8 pip/stud bricks red, yellow, green, blue and, white bricks. There are several window bricks. Then there are bricks shaped with slopes so you can make roofs. There are a few head bricks so people can be made there are also wheels so a car can be made.
There are plenty of bricks to make town buildings and scenes. You could follow the brick patterns to make specific buildings or use your imagination to create your own.

This is a very good selection of Lego bricks as a starter selection for either home or nursery. You could add some individual Lego vehicles or people to complement it.
This collection of bricks should last for years and years many, many play hours. If they get dirty just wash in hot soapy water.

Lego bricks are a fantastic construction toys. Excellent for helping your child develop his/her construction and fine motor skills. They can be used to help language development and colour recognition, good for early math's too basic counting, addition and subtraction.

Lego bricks are made by a Danish company since the 1930's The name Lego an adaptation of the words that mean play well in Danish and Latin words that could be interpreted as "I put together"
I believe the company is now owned by the grandson of Ole Kirk Kristiansen who first designed the Lego brick

Would I recommend this box of bricks? Most definitely yes

Summary: A plastic tub full of lego pieces that make a town
