Best Lego Duplo of 2019
These junior versions of the ever-popular Lego will have your toddler creating all kinds of fun worlds.
Lego building bricks have become an iconic toy for good reason.
Stacking the connecting blocks to create castles and towers requires kids to use their imaginations, practice dexterity and problem solve. But those tiny pieces are simply too difficult for small children to push together and pull apart. And, many young ones are still stuffing everything into their mouths.
Enter the Lego Duplo. It connects like a regular Lego brick, but it’s twice the size and so much easier for toddlers to handle. Let your little one tackle roles as architect and builder with these safe, tabletop construction projects.
Perfect Starter Kit
Little hands will quickly grasp the basics of putting Duplo blocks together and pulling them apart with this comprehensive set that comes with a storage box. The wagon base with turning wheels lets your child build a car, train, tractor or whatever kind of vehicle they can imagine. Two window pieces and loads of other bricks can be used to create various structures. When construction is complete, your child can introduce the included Lego boy and dog figures to the new world they made for them.

Learning to Count
Engineers definitely need to be good at math, and this set starts your kiddo off in the right direction. Build the locomotive together and point out the colorful numbers on each of the bricks. Line the numbered bricks in order to create three connecting train wagons that go from numbers one to nine. Your little one will love showing off their counting skills.

Building Future Cities
Caution, people at work here! This Duplo set has all the pieces to make a construction zone, complete with a bulldozer, supply truck and crane your child can put together. The bulldozer pushes debris out of the way, while the supply truck’s bed actually tips back. The crane has a working claw and movable arm, too. Your child can pretend the included construction workers with hard hats are scooping up bricks with it. Adding to the imaginary scene are bricks decorated like truck controls and a lunchbox, as well as a plastic jackhammer, traffic cones and a wheelbarrow.

Animal Sounds & Sights
Teach your tot where their food comes from and how to treat animals with this fun Duplo set about farm life.

The sheep, cow and chicken figures can be attached to corresponding bricks with illustrations of the products we get from those animals. Go over animal sounds with your child and use the people figurines to show how we gently touch animals.

Get Ready for Flying
If your preschooler will soon be traveling or is simply fascinated with jets flying overhead, this Duplo set is sure to be a big hit. Your kiddo will enjoy roleplaying the pilot in the cockpit, the passenger dropping off luggage and sitting on the plane or the worker in the air control tower. Accessories like suitcases make it seem more real. You can even use play time to talk about what makes air travel special and what to expect during a trip.

Real Heroes
When it comes to heroes, firefighters top the list. It’s no wonder kids love exploring real-life fire trucks, donning pretend fire gear and acting out saving the day. This Duplo set encourages littles to roleplay as many rescues as they want with a fire truck that has a rotating, movable ladder and a retractable hose. With this kit, your child can build a small structure and set the flame on top of it, or place the flame on any other Duplo structures they previously created. If they use the opening window that comes with the kit, you can take that opportunity to talk about the different ways to escape a fire.
