Duplo Zoo

Hardly a year goes by without LEGO making a Duplo Zoo. These larger LEGO Duplo pieces are perfect for small hands, and come with a recommended age of 18 months to 5 Years. A lot of building fun can be had during this important developmental period in any child’s life. Kids love the mixture of animals and construction; even better when the giraffe’s neck moves, or the elephant can be made to lift his trunk!

Hours can be spent putting together these action-packed Duplo Zoo scenes that come complete with a selection of animals, fences, visitors, vehicles and even a selection of zoo buildings. This wide variety of items stimulates creativity among older children; although the pleasingly chunky pieces are still ideal for smaller hands, who love clicking the bricks together. Durable, hard-wearing and easily wiped clean, all LEGO Duplo Zoo sets make a long-lasting addition to the play box.

The Good Toy Guide tested a Duplo Zoo set on several children and found that it was a real favourite among carers and children alike. It inspires plenty of imaginative play and induced a host of animal noises and songs from Ben, aged three. The sets come with easy instructions, which Luke, five years and Aaron, three years, enjoyed following to build up the scene. The constructive element of the LEGO Duplo Zoo helps to develop concentration and problem solving skills, and the set was also used by parents of hearing-impaired children to introduce vocabulary and extend language.
