But Megablocks are bigger than duplos...and duplos are bigger than
legos...but you need all three as the years go by. So Penny...get the mega
blocks first...the smaller the hand the bigger the block...then progress to
duplos...they have all sorts of cool sets...dinos, pooh bear...maybe by the
time you are buying they'll have a little HP set!!!!  They don't get into
real legos until about 6 or 7.

Yes!!! I swear there is a duplo block at all times in all rooms of my house,
no matter how many times I put them away and in the basement...they creep
out of their hiding places and lurk to jump out under your foot when you are
carrying a basket of laundry!
