LEGO® DUPLO ⁽⁵⁾

LEGO® DUPLO: big blocks for little hands

DUPLO has been around since 1969 and is specially designed for toddlers and preschoolers. The blocks are twice as long, wide and tall as regular LEGO® bricks. This makes them easy to hold and sturdy enough for young children who are just learning to build.

Good to know: DUPLO blocks fit on regular LEGO® bricks. A DUPLO brick clicks onto four studs of a LEGO® brick. This means children can move on to smaller bricks later without making their old DUPLO obsolete.

DUPLO for ages 1, 2, and 3

This collection includes the DUPLO Brick Box (10913), with loose bricks in cheerful colors, My First LEGO DUPLO Set (5931) for the very first building sessions, and play sets such as the vet (5685) and Highway Help (4964). A DUPLO brick set with loose bricks is ideal for free building.

Most DUPLO sets are intended for children aged 1.5 to 5. For DUPLO for 1-year-olds, it's best to choose a simple box with large basic bricks. From age 2, sets with vehicles, animals, and figures become interesting, and from age 3, sets with a story, such as Jake's Treasure Hunt (10512).

DUPLO figures and building further

In addition to sets, the collection includes individual DUPLO figures, such as characters from the LEGO® Ville sets. They're useful for completing a second-hand set or expanding an existing DUPLO town. The condition of each figure is listed in the product description.

If your child is ready for smaller bricks, take a look at LEGO® Classic for free building or LEGO® City for the first sets with minifigures. Large baseplates for combining DUPLO and LEGO® are available at LEGO® Baseplates.
