I did not know they were compatible. That makes my decision easier :happy: </p> <p>I think I'll be adding to her Duplos just because of Peppa Pig. I didn't want to open a whole new world of loose figures, so I opted for a building block set with figures (not Lego but it's supposed to be compatible). If it is the same size as the Duplo figures, then they're also compatible with Sylvanian/Calico Critter clothes. It's odd, but DD seems to like dressing them even though she doesn't dress her normal dolls. Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-to-legos#post-2271295 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 06:56:04 +0000 tinyperson 2271295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will be 3 in December, and we're planning on getting her the Duplo fire station set. That'll be her last Duplo though. After that, I think we'll get her Lego, but probably not till her next birthday/Christmas. I think she'll keep playing with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-to-legos#post-2271282 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 06:23:20 +0000 honeybear 2271282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got some regular Legos for LO at 3. Don't ditch the Duplos. They fit together with the 2x4 bricks and my LO still likes and uses the Duplos daily, even 2 years after getting 'real' ones. At 3, I bought the sets that are basically just puzzles that make a toy, and I helped a lot at first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-to-legos#post-2271259 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 04:36:48 +0000 lamariniere 2271259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a few Lego Junior sets, they are normal Lego size, but with bigger ready-made pieces. Truthfully though we never had Duplos and went straight to Legos around 3.5 yo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transitioning-to-legos#post-2271258 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 04:27:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2271258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO has Lego Duplo, at what age did you transition to the normal Legos? DD is 3 and still plays with her Duplos. DH is itching to buy the normal Lego sets, but I'm wondering if it's too early. At the same time, I don't want to add on to it if she'll like the normal ones as well.</p> <p>Going by the recommended age range filter on the Lego website, there's an overlap in sets. Both the Duplos and the Classic Legos fit into her age group. </p>
