Fantastic Duplo toy! teaches science to toddlers!,

This review is from: LEGO DUPLO Tubes Experiment Set (Toy)
My son received an earlier version of this toy about 7 years ago when he was 2 from a wonderful "aunt." He was very interested in Duplo at that point and this toy totally occupied him for an hour or even two in my office. He did have trouble constructing complex "mazes" with the tubes at age 2 but was able to put short lengths together. By age 4, he could build anything with it. Somewhere around age 3, he surprised me by showing me a full tubular "donut" that he built all by himself out of 8 of the curved tube segments with one of the balls trapped inside. I am very serious about this toy introducing scientific concepts to toddlers. The little seesaw looking piece on the bottom left when built out with some Duplo rectangular pieces demonstrates balancing weights. The whole set is about geometry and physics. And don't forget FUN! Just about every child loves to build ball mazes and this toy has tunnels and pop-through gates, etc. Durable as well. I passed ours along recently to my scientific brother who just started his family, and it looked brand new. Simply an awesome toy all the way around. So glad to see there is still a version of it out there for others to buy and enjoy. WTG Lego!

This review is from: LEGO DUPLO Tubes Experiment Set (Toy)
I have a home daycare & have been in business 9 years now. We have always had regular Lego duplos for my preschoolers and just recently purchased a duplo table with trundle. After having the same legos for 9 years, I decided to start searching for a few new items. We got a few Thomas Mega Bloks trains, some plastic track, and the Lego community vehicles set. But this tube set is by far the most used & played with. My littles can build small things and laugh as they put people or balls or other Legos down the small fast tubes. With my & my 9yo's help, we can build huge twisty tall structures. Heck, I even have a ball with them!
It comes with a few big base plates for stability(we don't need them since we have a duplo table), which you will need to build big structures. It comes with several kid people figures, about 75 Lego blocks, and many tubes & tube holders. It has several design picture cards for ideas to build & a great tote in which to keep everything together. If I had to choose only 1 Lego duplo set to buy, this would be it. Lots on regular sized duplos, figures, and tubes with balls. Very very awesome! Best thing to happen to the Lego....make tubes!!

This review is from: LEGO DUPLO Tubes Experiment Set (Toy)
We had this from when my son was 2 years old. He was fascinated with ball runs of all sorts but got bored with the limited ball run configurations of baby toys. I was excited to have found this set. The concept is great. Create your own twisty ball run. Go as high as you can and the only limit is the number of tube pieces you have. I bought 2 sets!
This set has been very frustrating to use. My son (until 4 years old) had trouble putting the tubes together because the connection has to be just right. So, all right, I could build and he could play. My son watched patiently while I constructed a ball slide with 8 tube pieces. The ball slide broke with 5-6 runs. The Duplo people often get stuck in the ball slide/tunnel. Not a set for experimenting. We did make ovals and circles and swirled the ball inside. Kids stopped playing with this when they can play with marble run and small Lego. So you are looking at kids under 4 or under 5. Unfortunately the structures are not sturdy enough for kids of this age groups. Very limited. Only for small scale construction. Not recommended.
