If she has Duplo already, I would stick with that make rather than get some of the cheaper varieties. It is better quality and less liable to deform. Some of the cheaper makes do not last so well, though they are still fun to play with. My DD's loved a Duplo aeroplane when they were little, and all the people that went with it.

We still have Duplo in perfectly good nick that is thirty years old. It comes out for the grandkids now.

I hope I answered the question you asked. I wasn't sure what you might mean. Essentially, what kit you get only depends on how much money you want to spend. If your Gd is only two, I would stick with Duplo (the big bricks) rathern than get the smaller Lego which small hands can struggle with.

My GD will be 2 soon. She loves playing with the big Lego-type bricks (are these called Duplo?) and her mother suggested I get her some for her birthday. I've been on line and there is a bewildering selection and the reviews are so varied it's impossible to choose. Can anyone recommend a kit or set suitable for her please?
