"This was a fun set for my 4-year-old daughter. I definitely had to help her with it, but she did a good job following the directions and she liked the fact that there were multiples of some things (like the couches or the speed boats) so that once she learned how to put something together she could do a few more on her own. She also did not like to go in order and this was a good set for jumping around. She wanted to do speed boats--we could jump to that. She wanted to do the living room--we could jump to that. She didn't get through the whole thing herself because her older brother (7) got interested and "helped" her complete the top level. She was fine with that and enjoyed playing with the mini-figures and all the cute little pieces that come with the set. Overall this definitely increased her interest in Legos!"
