I got this basket of LEGO delivered to my work on Friday as a pre-fathers day present. (URL) wife was the culprit! I was rather embarrassed. Most of the people in my department know I do LEGO, but not the people at the front desk. I wonder what they (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people)

(...) I'm having trouble parsing this... was it a present to a pre-father or a pre-(offical)day present or a pre-day present to a pre-father??? :-) But anyway, I am jealous.

Hi Larry, It was a pre-father's day present to a pre-father. She wanted it delivered to work so she couldn't do it on father's day. I have spent the last 2 years educating my wife that I don't want clothes for any sort of holiday. To me, clothes are (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jun-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people)

No wooden blocks, go with LEGO Primo, then you can transition into Duplo. The Primos have bricks that will allow the Duplos to connect to them. My son was stacking the Primos at 6 months.

(...) I agree with James.

I think that the reason Duplo isn't recommended for infants isn't because of choking hazard, but because of the sharp corners. Primo pieces have rounded corners.
