Educational factor:

The Good: Lego starter kit lets younger children build a house, car, dog, helicopter, and more.

The Challenging: Younger children may need help with following the instruction.

The Ideal Lego Starter Kit
The Lego Ultimate Building Set includes everything a child needs to take the first steps to becoming an expert Lego builder. It includes one mini figurine, a building plate, and a wide mix of standard bricks in various colors as well as house and wheel elements.

Following the included instructions and using pieces in the starter kit, kids can build a house, helicopter, dog, and car. The only flaw is that the instructions may be challenging for younger children, and require adult assistance.

As is the case with virtually every Lego set, your child will be limited only by his, or her, imagination and perseverance. Although the kit is designed for younger children graduating from Lego Duplos, you can be confident that your child will never actually grow out of the Ultimate Building Set. All of the pieces can be incorporated into future Lego collections.

What's in the Box

Lovably Plush!

The Rosy Cheeks Baby Boy doll is made of soft, plush velour and features embroidered facial features, a wee "outie" belly button, a lifelike bottom, and tiny ears poking out from beneath the attached newborn-sized beanie. A wrist band allows parents to write in the name and date of birth of the Baby Doll for young children as a way to introduce the concept of having a new baby brother or sister coming home from the hospital.



The large, soft head and long legs and arms of the 15-inch Rosy Cheeks Baby make it easy for small hands to grab and hold. The cotton jersey wrap top and fleece diaper are removable and feature simple Velcro closures to promote the development of dexterity. Small ribbons attached to the top of the beanie and the front of the wrap top should be removed before giving the Rosy Cheeks Baby to a small child.


Delightful Features Await Discovery


The simplicity of the Rosy Cheeks Baby Boy Doll allows young children the opportunity to begin playing with it at an early age. The design of the doll, with a large head and long arms and legs, enables young kids with smaller hands and limited dexterity to hold, hug, and even drag the doll easily. The wrap-around top and removable diaper encourage young kids to explore the Rosy Cheeks doll and to discover delightful features like the lifelike bottom and "outie" belly button. This exploration can be used as a learning opportunity by parents to discuss with their young child the arrival of a new baby sibling.
