LEGO Duplo Classic Brick Box

The obvious choice for this age, and it earns the hype. The blocks are big enough that preschoolers can't lose them in weird places, and they click together in a satisfying way. Many kids keep playing with it daily for years.

  • Open-ended set: no instructions to follow, so kids build whatever they picture
  • Compatible with other DUPLO sets, so the collection grows with the kid
