Brick Architect
“This product is best used in a guided learning setting rather than hoping for your child to build a giant marble maze without your help. That’s why it may make sense in a homeschooling setting where you want to keep older kids engaged with DUPLO a little longer rather than... More migrating them to LEGO products. It really is better suited for older builders who may be able to learn how to make these awkward connections on their own.”
