A brilliant brick set from Lego Duplo

Advantages: superb collection of bricks
Disadvantages: I am a bit old to play with them on my own

...?s constructions. Included in the set are the basic bricks of course there is also a duplo figure wearing a blue hat. There are a couple of bricks with wheels to make the chassis too that fantastic vehicle. Some of the bricks are clear so can be used for windows. There is a shaped one that will represent a roof .There are bricks with eyes to make those wondrous animals.. All your child needs are these bricks and some imagination to make the most fantastic buildings. You might need a bit of imagination to interpret them of course. Don?t be too quick to say oh that?s a nice elephant it might not be it might be something completely different in your child?s eyes. Ask them about their construction to get clues as to what it is. Duplo bricks are great tools for early colour recognition the colours are bright. When playing ask your child...

A good foundation to build on

Advantages: great longlasting toy easy to clean
Disadvantages: none

...I play with Lego duplo building plates identical to this everyday; we have some at work, and guess what I have some at home for the grandchildren to build on. . Lego duplo is a really good construction toy and when your child is making a building base plates are good for added stability and a firm base to build on. Lego duplo is suitable for children aged 3 -5 years old, bit this really depends on their maturity, development and skills I have known under threes play happily with duplo and over 5's play with it too. Duplo helps develop your childs gross and fine motor skills , these plates being different colours are attractive and can help colour recognition. These base plates come in a set of 3, a red one a blue one a green one. Each of these base plates are 6 studs by 9 studs 54 studs in total. These plates are big enough...

The Duplo train goes over this bridge

Advantages: Good play value
Disadvantages: none

...I was playing Duplo trains the other day and we constructed the red Duplo Bridge. Although recommended for a 2 year old a 2 year old will need some assistance building it. Duplo suggest this is suitable for a child up to 5 I think they are right. Probably a 6 or even 7 year old might play with this bridge and the train set. There are 26 pieces in the box for the bridge The Bridge when constructed measures 42 inches long 10 inches tall. There are brick supports for the bridge to raise it above other tracks, a road or a pretend river. There is track for the approach slopes to the bridge. And red rail guards so that your duplo train does not fall of the bridge . Everything you need to construct a sturdy bridge is here. All you need is some Duplo trains none are included in the set. I am not sure if this bridge is still available...

AQ bucket of Duplo creative fun

Advantages: good assortment of bricks
Disadvantages: none

...I have a toddler of 18 months to buy a present for this year, so have been looking at Duplo. I know 18 months is a little young as Duplo bricks are really suitable for children aged 2 years old and over up to about 5 years and even then older children will still play with Duplo bricks. I investigated this Lego Duplo Creative Bucket (5538) and it was £17.99p at ?Toys are us? a bit more expensive than I wanted to pay for my nieces baby. At http://shop.lego.com its £17.59 However this bucket of bricks looks really good. The Duplo bricks come in a sturdy plastic deep squared tub it has a lid with 4 large Duplo studs and the sides have info about the bricks stuck on. These tubs are really good for storage much better than card boxes. Inside the tub are 76 bricks of Duplo plenty for a starter or add on set. Now these bricks are not...

Duplo to the rescue

Advantages: Sturdy, hard wearing, educational
Disadvantages: A little on the expensive side.

...We bought this Lego Duplo Fire truck for our little boy, Oakley, last christmas when he was three. He is absolutley fire engine mad so this was his favourite present and he still plays with it quite a bit now. In all there are 27 pieces to include: Movable ladder Fire hydrant Two firefighters Winch with a hook Something which I presume is a water tank Axes Hoses Bricks which resemble fire The truck which breaks into three parts Most important - Flashing emergency light with a siren! As it is Duplo, the parts are largish, the length of the assembled truck is 30cm max and the height of the assembled cab of the truck is 13cm max. All very easy to hold for those little hands. Also all the parts and the bricks fit together well and although they come apart easily, they do not keep falling apart (as I found with Mega...
