LEGO Party Gift Shop 41113

We purchased a number of these small LEGO Boxes for our precocious 3.5-year grand daughter. We always build them together with her since the parts are so small and the sets are intended for a 5-12 year old children. She has difficulty snapping the smaller pieces together, but has picked up on following the sequential assembly instructions (booklet pictures) and is getting pretty good at finding and matching the LEGO pieces to the assembly pictures. We count the number of bumps on each piece and sort the pieces by color, also beneficial skills. She enjoys playing with the assembled units, and seems to especially like the figurines for play acting. She seems particularly fond of these "Friends" and the "Creator" series sets. We just purchased a "Junior" set helicopter which she does find easier to assemble (larger pieces). She seems to like the details of the small pieces, but parents will need to keep an eye on how the sets are being used by such younger children. Amazon price was better than local department stores.
