to 10 when the kid is 4, and therefore feel well disposed towards that toy
brand.
I did once buy a large fire station set for my son when he was 4 that had
directions that were well beyond him. I put the directions away for a while.
He got the cool pieces to play with and later built it to the directions. That
way he got very used to making his own designs. I've come across kids who only
build what's on the directions. Like the kid who sold me the technic suitcase
with a few pieces in it at a yard sale. He'd made the helicopter in the
directions and he considered the pieces left extra.
