 Topic: Duplo or megablocks?
Posted: 04 June 2011 at 11:38am |

I got DS a dumptruck that had a few megablocks that came with it and he seems to really like them. Would like to get some more but before investing $ in mega blocks and I wondering if it would be better to go with duplo.
Which is better?

Duplo is more expensive but a bit more of a challenge (ages 2-5) and has more of an interesting range. DS had mega blocks when he was smaller now he likes the intricacies of duplo and the cool trucks, people and animals.

We have the first lot of mega blocks as they were easier for DD to manipulate. Now she is a bit bigger we are getting duplo as I have some from when I was a kid which looks as good as new.

great advice thanks. Guess we should stick with mega blocks for a while and then move up to duplo.

What age did you start with mega blocks? I'd like to get something like them for DD for her 1st birthday. Was looking at Duplo

I started with biggest mega blocks set like this, blocks, at around 1 year. Her birthday is in November and I can't remember if she got them for her birthday or Christmas. She's now 19 months and still uses them and is just starting to try with the duplo that's at her grandparents. I'm thinking that we'll get her some duplo for her 2nd birthday/Christmas.

We have Duplo but whenever we go out it's the Megablocks she prefers so we'll be getting her some of those later on!
