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

...I am playing with the children?s toys again, this time the Duplo brick set 5572 . I expect most of you know what a duplo brick is. Just in case you do not, Duplo bricks are made by Lego. Duplo bricks are twice the length, height and width of traditional Lego brick. But they are compatible, will join onto Lego bricks. Lego have been making Duplo bricks since 1969 they have developed since .Duplo bricks are great construction bricks for children aged between 2 and 5 years old a child older than 5 will play with them but be able to use harder construction sets. This brick set 5572 is a good one a great starter set, or one for nursery school. This set of bricks is contained in a sturdy green plastic box ideal for storage and keeping bricks tidy. There are 100 duplo pieces in this set, so plenty for your children...

Letgo its my Duplo lego brick

Advantages: Educational fun ,
Disadvantages: none

...one, learning colours Lego are a good strong colour. Language development, tall tower, short, big and little plus learning the names of colours . Early maths counting, adding and subtraction build a red tower 2 high add 3 yellow bricks how high is it? These bricks will hepl develop your childs creativity and Imaginary play. The duplo Sets farm, trains, lend themselves to children's imaginary play making the sets and pretending they are there. If two or more children are playing together it will encourage co-operation making a model between then or just sharing the best bricks, good for practicing turn taking to make a tower /house each child taking turns to lay a piece. Sally had fun laying on her tummy on the floor 25 yrs ago making models pushing the cars she had made or putting the animals in the sheds she had made. Children...

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...

A base for those duplo constructions.

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

...grandchildren now play with it. Duplo base plates are easy to clean just wash them in warm water with a preferred detergent or disinfectant (babies love to mouth everything and pass on their germs) These base plates are not too expensive RRP £3.99. They are available at a lot of toy stores and on line. The Lego store http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=2198 has them available. Amazon has a store selling them for £1.99p. You will have to pay £4 at http://www.toys-express.co.uk/acatalog/Bricks.html. These building plates would make a good addition to any child duplo toy collection. Have good play value and, long levity, if you see them cheap second hand they are likely to be in a good condition. Thanks for reading; off to work now to play with this toy, I love my work playing with toys all day ? shame about the children being there too ...

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...

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.
