5+ City Donut Truck - 60452

the amount of waxy laminated paper here is unbelievale. there are 38 useless pages in just ONE of this sets instruction books showing that you use your hand to pick the pieces up. really? i thought i'd try putting it together with my teeth. come on lego, this is so poorly designed, not to mention wasteful. and the argument is that it's for kids is ridiculous because i was a kid who loved lego, and so were many of my friends, and none of them ever had any issues with the old style of instructions. also the consolidation on the instruction steps is also terrible, please do better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lego Donut Truck was such a fun little project to do with my 10 year old. It was simple enough that we could assemble it in one evening. As with any Lego set, you can create several other designs from the pieces they provided…but we stuck with the instructions. We also liked that this set came with a few spare small pieces (which we got rid of them once we were done so our dog wouldn’t eat them).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lego makes the absolute best products known to man. I don’t care if you have a toddler, or a 90 something year old you’re buying a gift for, Lego has something for everyone. Their instructions are so simplistic and the easiest way for a kid to learn to follow something on their own, really helping promote independent play. I swear both of my kids became better at putting together different kinds of toys from learning the basics from doing Lego sets. This donut truck was a hit with my 5 year old son, and my daughter who’s 9 loved it so much she took it apart and put it back together herself. They love building these, posing them, playing with other toys with these, and setting up photo shoots of their miniature worlds they create. I’m also a huge fan of Lego including extra pieces, often the ones most likely to get misplaced or lost because of their size. They also typically include a Lego remover piece in the larger sets, which is a life savor for any parent with larger fingers or mom’s with manicured nails. My kids love that I will save the cover of the box, and the instruction booklet and any extra pieces, store them in a zippered storage bag and deconstruct the set every couple of weeks, so they can go back over and over again to rebuild. It gives them something constructive to do with their hands and is great for their fine motor skills. And now that Lego has a set for almost anything under the sun, it appeals to everyone. Great inclusive toy that we will enjoy for years to come!
