What's the most exciting event in a parent's life? Baby's first steps? Baby's first words? Maybe. What about baby's first Lego kit? Surely an event that deserves to be considered as the cover-image of the baby scrapbook! When my son got this set, we threw a party for relatives complete with cake, balloons and fizzy drinks for all. Sure, it happened to coincide with the little man's birthday but coincidence is a funny thing.
Now, there's almost certainly no need for me to go into the detail of how a Duplo brick works. They're essentially big Lego bricks and fit together in just the same way. I'm no expert on child development but I'm sure that building with Lego, Duplo (or anything else for that matter) is beneficial to the development of a child's imagination, spatial awareness, fine motor skills and all sorts of other functions. More important that that, though, it's great fun!
This particular kit contains all the parts your little one needs to put together a fire station, along with a fire engine, helicopter, three men and a dog. The kit comes with instructions for building the model as shown on the front of the box but the box itself shows other ways of sticking the bits together so you get the impression that you're being encouraged to freestyle a bit. When made according to the plans, all the bits and bobs comfortable occupy a space of about two foot square, making it quite a big kit. The box states that the set is suitable for ages 2-5 but I'm not sure any two-year-old would be able to follow the instruction - not that I mind getting involved at all!
In terms of play features, there's a lot on offer. There's a tube for the three men to slide down (presumably in place of a pole and frankly a lot more fun), a door that opens, a helicopter and a little fire engine to ride plus a couple of model fires for your firefighters to tackle. There's even a dog who doubles-up as the crew's mascot and potential rescuee. In terms of the actual building blocks, there are some big, chunky pieces which make for a quick, sturdy construction, with enough smaller, regular Duplo blocks for haphazard building and creative play.
The only criticism I might have for this set would be the absence of any people to rescue. If I were to redesign the set myself, I'd probably leave out the helicopter and pilot and include something for the firemen to rescue - perhaps a goods van and packing crates that could catch fire (in a play terms I mean, not literally). That said, my son loves playing with the helicopter so maybe I'm being too harsh on the set. We can always pick up a civilian set for rescuing at a later date, I suppose.
In summary, I would say that this is a very good toy and deserves to be included in any child's Duplo collection. It's aimed at boys but I'm sure there are little girls that would enjoy playing with it just as much. It represents really good value for money and is of exceptionally high quality (it's Lego). I highly-recommend this fantastic kit!

I have just bought this for my son's 6th birthday and he loves it! Tiny lego is still a bit too fiddly for him but this is great. He can build it independently or play with his friends. You can make it several different ways and he's already had hours of fun with this. I would thoroughly recommend buying this product - lego discontinue their sets every 2 years and I'm not sure when this one came out so it would be a shame to miss it. I bought this in conjunction with lego duplo legoville police set 4691 and they go together really well. Excellent value for money, great play value that lasts for years. It was also delivered on time and well packaged, so a good service from the supplier.

The kids (including male adults!) have had hours of fun with this toy. Hours of building it and then rebuilding. The kids have been able to use their imagination more with this set of lego than they have with any other set. Would highly recommend it.

Great fun, loads of interesting pieces but pricey
This set is great fun on its own or would make a great addition to an existing duplo collection. It contains lots of interesting pieces and not so many plain bricks. Read more

Fun and durable
My son has not stopped playing with either all or part of this set since we bought it 6 months ago. Duplo is so durable that it can be used for any subsequent children too.
