I have found out they were first produced in 1969 Duplo bricks are suitable for children aged 2 upwards. to about 5 this of course will depend on your childs individual development.

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...

A base for those duplo constructions.

Advantages: makes a good base for a duplo model
Disadvantages: none

...I play with Lego duplo building plate's identical to this nearly every day; 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 these 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, but 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 child's 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...

On the straight Duplo rails

Advantages: good rails long lasting

...Duplo train straight rails. If your child has a basic duplo train set, or you want to create one for them then you might want to buy the set of straight rails to expand it. This pack2734 contains 6 pieces. It costs £4.99p from the Lego shop http://shop.lego.com/product/?p=2734&LangId=20 57&ShipTo=UK.

The Duplo train goes over this bridge

Advantages: Good play value
Disadvantages: none

...as I can not find it in an on line shop. I think it will retail for about £15. This bridge makes a good addition to that duplo train set, compatible with the Thomas set or the standard set of duplo . I really like Lego Duplo let is a hardwearing conjoining brick. The bricks are fairly easy to put together the colours bright and attractive. Educationally Duplo bricks are good. They encourage fine motor skills and imaginary play. Can be used for colour recognition and basic maths counting. Good for language development too. Remember to play with your child some of the time as they will benefit from this, use the names for colour count the bricks use words like high and low. So would I recommend this Duplo Bridge? Yes...

Duplo police on call

Advantages: good for creative imaginitive play
Disadvantages: none

...-2.1/2 year old might need a little adult help at first. I love Duplo bricks for young children aged between 2 and 6. Duplo is an interlocking brick like Lego but bigger. This car is a great learning tool your child can practice his fine and gross motor skills. His language can be developed. When you play with your child talk to them tell them the colours, you can also say fast, slow stop go at the correct places so they will grasp the concept of these actions. Playing with this toy your child will use their imagination lots of pretend play can be had. Playing with this toy might also help your child not be frightened of policemen. This toy is easy to wash just use soapy water wash with dilute disinfectant if it gets manky You can buy this toy at a good toy shop or online http://www.adeba.co.uk/Product/?id=4198 for £7.99p...
