Great Basic Zoo with loads of play potentialOct 22, 2011
By lollipopsandlattes
As the other reviewers noted, this is a sturdy set. I purchased it a while back for my baby, who shall be two in late December. This isn't her favorite set (Winnie the Pooh still holds that record), but she does enjoy the animals, and she absolutely adores the car (definitely the favorite item in the set). She's still not much of a builder, but when I (or my husband) take the initiative and start taking out pieces to build things, she quickly toddles over to imitate to the best of her abilities. She sometimes has difficulties assembling the legos, but at her age, it is to be expected. Still, the bright colors of the legos (and enthusiasm from the family) keep her trying until she succeeds at "connecting" one-three pieces. She's not building zoos, at present, but considering that these Duplos are significantly smaller than the Megablox set that she has become quite proficient with, I'm pleased that she's getting challenged. An added bonus is that her big sister (7), who was NEVER into building toys, has finally determined that building with legos can be just as fun as playing barbies, doing science experiments, or reading, etc. Now she, too, plays with legos (but those aimed at bigger kids).
Like the other Duplo sets that I have purchased, this is of exceptional durable quality (quality that far exceeds what I have seen/experienced from the Megablox, but that is subjective), and can be easily washed in the top rack of the dishwasher, should it be necessary to clean them. As for the toy's educational value, my little one is learning the names of and sounds that a few animals make (while giggling hysterically), and she's doing basic construction (though she prefers to take apart what others in the family have assembled). She likes to wander off with the animals, so they wind up near her animal puzzles, allowing her to see/notice differences between two dimensional and three dimensional objects, and the Duplo zoo animals are sometimes used by her when she's playing with her blocks, which leads me to think of the figurines and the car in this set as not limited to the world of legos--they are being mixed by her own associations/whims with her other toys. Again though, the winning piece of this set is the car: it gets the most use by far, and she attempts to place her characters from some of the other Duplo sets inside. This (since the seat of the car has lego grooves, and the figurines have their own attachments) allow her to work at fairly intricate fine motor skills. It's easy enough for me to lock a figurine into a car, but for her it takes time and effort, which just goes to show how fascinating the car and its workings are for her. For a little one, and they do tend to be easily distracted, this one object/skill activity really retains her attention: possibly she relates to the car because it is part of her real life, but who knows.
I would certainly buy this set for another child, but I would choose it for a child ABOVE age two, just as the box recommends rather than for one who is 18-20 months old. Still, a great buy with loads of play value: I believe my little one will find this zoo increasingly interesting as her imagination and motor skill abilities flourish. So, I am pleased!

Hours of fun!Apr 20, 2011
By Kellista

I loved duplos as a kid and just bought this set for my 18 month old. She loves it! We can literally spend hours together playing with this set, building different things and learning the animal sounds. She loves to talk to the animals and carry them around with her. My duplos are still in great shape so I know this will last forever!

 My four-year-old likes it as much as the two-year-oldDec 27, 2011
By Christine M. Hernandez
I bought it for my two-year-old, but both of my kids play with this toy. It is simple enough for them to play with on their own and build things without assistance. My little one really loves the animals and carries them all over the house.

Another great set--animals and wheels!Dec 29, 2011
By Andrew J. Riemer
"Andrew James Riemer"
We've had lots of Duplo blocks in our house over the years. Most often, we avoid the themed sets, but this is one of the exceptions. The Lego Duplo My First Zoo set has everything to make it a great set--another person (the zookeeper), plenty of animals, and a set of wheels. Add this set to a bucket of regular Duplo bricks and you'll renew your kid's (kids') enjoyment of their Duplo blocks.
Even on its own, it is a great set. It provides a general theme, but kids are not limited to thinking "Zoo"--my youngest daughter had the little animals at a tea party within hours of opening the box.
If this is your first Duplo set, consider picking up LEGO Duplo Building Set - 71 Pieces (5380) along with this one, or as your next purchase. [Note: the link goes to one specific listing for the 5380 building set. It may be listed by multiple sellers on Amazon.com, so shop carefully.]
You really can't go wrong with Lego Duplo blocks for their durability, and kids love them. This set is sure to be a favorite.
