Editor’s Note: As of December 2020, you may find that your favorite Lego Duplo sets are out of stock everywhere, or that prices are higher than you might expect. The current supply and pricing of Duplo sets aren’t currently reflected in this list (these prices are from November 2019), but we’ll be sure to update as soon as Duplo sets come back in regular stock.
Lego building bricks have become an iconic toy for good reason.
Stacking the connecting blocks to create houses and castles and farms 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. Not to mention, many little 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. And Duplo sets are just as exciting and varied as regular Lego sets, with themes ranging from trains and construction to Disney and superheroes. Let your toddler tackle roles as architect and builder with these safe, tabletop construction projects. And if you’re looking for a place to secure your little one’s projects so they don’t topple over, this building plate provides a 15-by-15-inch surface for any Duplo piece.
