* Duplo Lego bricks.*

Duplo bricks are really good for children helping their creativity and fine motor control. Duplo bricks are ideal for a child aged between 2 and 5; older children will use Duplo alongside standard Lego as they will fit. Lego bricks were developed in the 1950’s; the first Duplo Lego bricks were made in 1969.

Duplo Lego wears well, it is suitable for both nursery and home situations at home it will last a generation or two of children. My grandson plays with his mothers old Duplo nearly 30 years old. Its good to buy second hand can be easily cleaned and disinfected and should have suffered no breakages occasionally a little chipping but very rarely.
Lego is a safe toy for a small child no rough edges big enough not to be swallowed.


*Recently I have seen the Duplo police boat*

. This toy is will be ideal for a 3 or 4 year olds. . This box of bricks includes 2 boats, 1 blue and white police boat, one yellow boat, 2 figures. There is a red plastic suitcase brick in this set for the robbers to steal away. There are a few other standard Duplo bricks with the set too they make an island and a yellow light brick for the top of a tower of bricks to make a lighthouse.

The police boat has a blue cabin with windows which your child and you can fit onto the studs on the base of the boat. There is brick which is blue and grey to resemble the police light this can be fitted on top of the boat cabin. There is a lower section on the boat for the police duploman to stand while driving the boat. There are studs over most of the boat so your child can use his/her imagination and add other Lego bricks or people.

The other boat is a yellow boat not as grand as the police boat but the “naughty “Duplo people could use this to get away with the jewels. Or maybe the Duplo police can help rescue Duplo people who are having trouble with this boat, the play scenarios are as endless as your Childs imagination. The yellow boat also has many studs on it to fix other Duplo bricks onto.

These Lego boats will float on water, so you could use it in a water tray; there are many play opportunities with this set. I think this is a good addition to a Duplo Lego set.

*Availability and price*

From the Lego store http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=4861 this toy costs £19.95p

I saw this Lego police boat set in JLEWIS’S recenty in Watford so I am sure you will be able to find it in high street shops that sell lego/duplo toys.

Yes I would recommend this toy as a Christmas present for a child aged between 2 and 6 dependent on their maturity.

Summary: A police boat made from lego
