Duplo

Fun, safe and educational building blocks

Duplo were launched by Lego as "the big brick for the small hand" aiming at children aged between 2 and 6. They were designed to allow children from a younger age to enjoy the educational benefits of building blocks.

Today, there is a fantastic array of Duplo sets available, so children can choose how they play and what they create. Children can choose to play with loose bricks and create what they please, or they may prefer themed packages, which allow them to follow instructions and recreate different designs.

Both sets introduce children to a range of exciting shapes and colours, and help them to recognise different objects, animals and settings. Choose from these fantastic sets of Duplo, which will appeal to all interests and levels of development:

Toy Story

Duplo has so many educational and social benefits for children, which will prepare them in the lead up to school. Duplo teaches children fundamental life-skills, giving them an academic advantage and better understanding of the world around them.

Duplo inspires the imagination, allows children to express themselves creatively and gives them a sense of achievement in what they have created; building confidence and independence.

Duplo allows children to develop valuable skills which they can apply to every aspect of their lives, including:

Hand/Eye Coordination
Patience
Sharing
Determination
Problem Solving
Self-Esteem
Visual Recognition
Organisation

Children will not even realise they are learning, as they continue to have fun experimenting with different shapes, patterns and structures.

Duplo are continually tested for safety

Duplo is a sub-brand of Lego, who have always delivered the highest-quality and safest products for children to enjoy. Duplo bricks are designed small enough for children to handle easily, but large enough to prevent them from being swallowed.

Duplo bricks are designed and moulded in a way which is least harmful to young children, and Lego apply the following four safety tests to each and every Duplo set that is produced:

Bite Test
To ensure that children cannot chew through pieces
Pull Test
To ensure that pieces cannot be pulled apart
Pressure Test
To ensure pieces cannot be broken to form sharp edges or smaller pieces
Step Test
To ensure that pieces are strong enough to support pressure when stood or sat on

Duplo helps to educate children from an early age

Duplo has been adopted by many primary schools and kindergartens, to assist with the learning and development of infants in a fun and interactive way.

Parents, cares and teachers can enjoy watching children take an active role in their own education. Lego has even developed Duplo sets which specifically teach children about things such as numbers, letters, shapes and colours.
