Duplo Lego bricks are fantastic.
Duplo bricks are a larger version of Lego bricks, they are plastic linking bricks. These bricks are suitable for babies 2 years upward to about 5 years old. I have used these with yongfer children but the web site sugests 2 yearsold . I have also seem older children play with them , it all depends on thier developmental stage.
These bricks can be used with the smaller Lego bricks some do interlock. Duplo is very safe and durable. Suitable for an individual child or a large group of children. Duplo bricks will last a generation, my grandchildren play with their mother's childhood set.

Duplo bricks are bright interesting colours. They are easy to hold. Your little one will soon be able to fix them together creating wonderful buildings. Duplo bricks come in a standard brick to build with or there are shaped pieces to help construct bridges, train. Or in this case a digger

Most children that I know are fascinated by real diggers building houses or working on the roads. With this Duplo digger they can imagine they are working digging up the road or making the house.

There are 19 pieces for your budding builder to make his own digger, this includes some tools (a shovel and a spanner) and a warning triangles, a man at work sign and a barrier.

The yellow digger when it is made up has working treads, moving arms with a tilting bucket shovel. The cab will rotate. A. driver with his hard hat is included.
This digger is good it moves easily and the shovel can scrape up all the unwanted bricks, lift them and move them.
This digger is not too difficult to make your child will need some help at first. Playing with this digger is fun when it is made. Why not get a tray and put gravel on it, or dry past or rice and your child can move them around scraping them up in the shovel placing them in a pile.
This will help perfect your child's co-ordination. Their fine and gross motor skills. This toy is good it will develop their imagination.
This toy is good Duplo is safe and very durable will survive many child's play hours. Duplo is easy to clean wash with warm soapy water.

This Duplo digger is available RRP £19.99. I have scoured the internet and can not find it much cheaper anywhere.
There is a similar but larger set Duplo gravel this is of course more expensive as it contains more vehicles.
