Pick a brick - which bricks are most versatile to start a collection?
Hi everyone! My daughter is now developing an interest in LEGO and we want to foster that interest by getting her a base collection of LEGO beyond just super specific lego set pieces. For this purpose, pick a brick seems perfect. However, there are thousands of bricks on there. Which brick types do you consider to be the most versatile to bring out children's creativity beyond the basic 2x4, 1x4, 2x3, 1x1 rectangular bricks? Thanks for any input!
I'm with what @BCsven@lemmy.ca said: get s mixed box if unsure.
That said: highly depending on her age and interests as well there is no need to go deeper into specific bricks.
After all the only thing that prevents a couple of 4x2 to become an airplane is imagination. Or a fire, a house, an animal.
So I suggest depending on age and interest to just talk with her and adjust accordingly.
And: especially Lego can be sometimes sniped used in big mixed boxes at flea markets and the likes - something that would bring s but of lootbox excitement in your lifes without the downsides;)
