LEGO in School

[cowboy_x]

Hi all,

My daughter's school has been allocated a corner of their lbrary as a LEGO corner.

The person in charge has asked me to help her budget.

QUESTION:
Is she better off getting some of the education sets, or rather getting a bunch of buckets online at Amazon or whoever is the cheapest.

Not going to get any used bricks - pretty sure about that.

Ideas?

Comments?

Thanks all

Those coloured tiny boxes are cheap.

Whenever I've looked through my school-supply catalogs and have seen the Education sets, they always seem ridiculously priced for what you get.

Honestly, she'd probably be better to pick up a handful of Creator sets with the best price-point possible.

Creator basic sets would be a good choice. Kids like to build and be creative with basic pieces.

Sorry for the late reply. I would highly recommend the Wal-Mart Black Friday 1600 Piece brick boxes at $40, although the timing is terrible if they are looking to buy now. Toys R Us now sells an equivalent 1600 piece box for $80 year round http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=92984456

A large quantity of these boxes would give enough of one piece to build a large structure in one color, but enough variety to drive creativity.
