Best known as the junior version of Lego, Duplo toys are a brand in their own right. Having seen various name changes since their introduction in 1969, the basic Duplo bricks remain the same design as the day they were introduced. Twice the height, length and width as the standard Lego bricks, the Duplo toys are so much easier to handle for the younger children they’re designed for.
The Duplo sets contain various shaped bricks to make simple vehicles or more complicated houses, farms and zoos. The people and animals are enchanting in their own right, and all have studs to connect with other bricks. Like their grown up brothers and sisters, the licensed Duplo toys of Bob the Builder, Dora the Explorer and Thomas and Friends are adding a terrific new dimension to the world of play.
The Duplo train sets are especially popular - with various Thomas characters to choose from. The accessories can help make a really exciting play environment. The castle, farm and circus ranges are all incredibly well liked, as are the police, fire and highway sets. There is something for everyone in the Duplo toy ranges, and the big added bonus is that they will also fit together with most standard Lego bricks.
