Large Brick Box Ages:4+ Pieces:405

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: 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. In a Nutshell: The ideal Lego starter kit for kids too old for Duplos.

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
405 standard Lego pieces with house and wheel element, mini figurine, durable plastic storage case, and instructions.

Between playful sprints, gazelles spend their mornings and evenings grazing along the African grasslands in herds. The herds are made up of mostly females with one male who defends the group. During the hottest part of the day they rest under the trees. Gazelles can run really fast -- up to fifty miles per hour for long distances -- but usually they dash away from possible danger for a little while, then stop to look back. Gazelles are brownish in color and have a light colored underbelly, separated by a black stripe. Both the males and the females show off arched, ringed horns. Pregnant females leave their herds when they're ready to give birth and return with their newborn calves. They leave the calves in hiding during the day while they graze and return in the evening. After about five or six weeks, the calf will join the rest of the herd during daytime grazing.

Fun Facts:Gazelles often give birth to twins.
