Hello, I am wondering if anyone has a Lego activity table and if there has been any concerns about smaller children and choking. I would like to put one out but another staff member has mentioned that Legos can be a problem for younger kids if not properly supervised. Thoughts and advice welcome.

Hi, Nicole- We have a Duplo table. This takes care of the "small pieces" issue, but we also have older kids who play with it, too. They don't seem to mind the larger-sized blocks.

Hi Nicole, We also have a Duplo table. :) Lego Club, which uses the smaller pieces, meets monthly and the Legos are safely tucked away between meetings.
