I didn't think 12mo Sam would really be able to use the quatro bricks, which are twice the size of duplo (and therefore 4x regular lego size). To my surprise, they were a hit.

The blocks stick together easily and come apart with no fuss. The top of the storage chest doubles as a base plate. There are orange, purple and green blocks, which was an eye-opener for me: I've never seen a purple lego block.

Sam wasn't building the Great Wall of China out of the box, but the set seemed age-appropriate, durable and fun.

They blocks are indeed easy to pull apart - a bit too easy, as the airplane I keep making keeps falling apart. And the lid is great as a building surface, although it's concave (pushed down) a bit so that getting the blocks to stick to it is sometimes tricky.

But the size, number, and colors are great - our 13-month-old loves them!

Everyone has fun with these blocks. I think they are a great investment. My son is 1 and has fun building with (and knocking down) his Quatros. It is a great toy for interactive play - something he and his daddy play with almost every night before bed. Also, my husband and brother enjoy building with these too ;-) I think it is a toy that'll last more than a few months - probably for many years. It is also nice that it is compatible with the preschool table and Duplos. I highly recommend it!

I bought this item for my one-year-old grandson for his birthday, and he is likes it a lot, but my three-year-old granddaughter has been playing with them non-stop. She absolutely loves the Lego blocks! They allow creativity and imagination, and non-stop enjoyment. My grandson can't build things yet, but he likes putting them in the container and taking them out, and, of course, knocking down whatever has been built. Recommend this toy highly.

I know that there is a relatively brief period of time that these Lego Quatro blocks will be useful before my son discovers the smaller, sturdier Duplos, but I just couldn't wait to introduce him to the building blocks that captivated me as a child.

At just 9 months old, my son is too young for the Duplo series. That's where these extra large Quatro blocks come in perfectly. They are larger and softer than their toddler-appropriate counterparts, but they are every bit as much fun, even if they're only being used as teething aides or noisemakers! As other reviewers have stated, the blocks don't stay together as securely as the Duplos would, but I find that to be beneficial while my son is learning how to put them together and take them apart. It also makes the inevitable collapses of my Lego towers that much more spectacular when my son knocks them down!

We chose the extra large bucket of Quatros and don't regret it in the least. There are plenty of blocks in a variety of colors, and being able to use the lid as a building surface is a nice touch. Even if they are only "useful" for a few months, it is well worth it for our family to be able to play with Legos together.

I think these giant Legos are perfect first blocks for a baby. We got them for my daughter soon after she turned 1, and she loves them. Of course, for her to actually connect the blocks is sort of hit and miss, but she loves taking them out of the bucket, putting them into the bucket, and taking apart anything her mommy or daddy build. She also likes picking out which blocks to hand to me, which I then use on whatever I am building. We always refer to the color of the blocks, and whether they are big or small or long. They are a great learning tool, and the perfect size for her tiny hands to pick up. My only reason for the 4 rating is because the blocks don't stay connected very well, although I'm sure that is intentional so little kids can easily take them apart.

My daughter has had these for a year now (she is now 2), and doesn't play with them. They are almost too big for little hands. I have difficulties getting them to stay together (too loose!) and the lid is concave. I love the idea of Legos and will now move on to Duplos (which she DOES play with). I wish I had save the twenty dollars and bought Duplos in the first place.

after much researching, i purchased these blocks for my 3 year old. I chose these because the lego quatro big bucket is the only brand of giant blocks that currently offers the lid of the bucket as a a building platform.(the mega blok maxi tub has been discontinued). they are a lot of fun but the only issue is the tabs, you know the little bumps you connect the blocks together with are very small and flat, unlike the large tabs mega bloks offers. this takes much more precision to line up & actually connect the blocks together. and in turn caused more frustration than fun...they are more expensive than the mega bloks also..they are being returned to toys r us tommorow!

My sister-in-law gave this to my son when he was one and a half and he and my two younger kids still play with these blocks a few years later. Fortunately, I went back to the store right after he got them and bought another box so they could build bigger "cities". I can't believe they stopped selling them! We can only get the MegaBlocks now which are thinner.

We purchased these Legos for my daughter when she was one. Three years later she still plays with them. The larger size is wonderful since her baby brothers can't swallow them. Makes a wonderful gift.
