Advantages: good toy

Disadvantages: none

I was trawling the toy section to find a product I knew about and I found masses of Lego and Duplo that no one has written about. I spied a deluxe box of Duplo and thought I would write about it. I have played with many Lego and Duplo bricks with children in my career and always think the Duplo good. Duplo bricks last well my grandchildren are playing with my daughters bricks that she played with 29 year olds ago.
This deluxe box of Duplo is a fairly new product I think it would make a great present for any child between the age of 1 year and 4 years. Over 4, yes your child will still play with Duplo but may begin to want slightly more complex bricks
Duplo bricks are a hard plastic bricks that fit into each other in the same way as Lego. They are bright colours red, green, and blue, yellow, black. These bricks are larger than Lego, about 4cm for a small brick with 4 nobly bits to join them together 8cm for a large one with 8 joining knobbly bits. These pieces are easy to stick together once your child lines them up correctly. There are some Duplo bricks that have wheels so your child can build a vehicle.
Duplo bricks are easy to clean just wash them .
This box is available from http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-Duplo-5417-Deluxe-Bri ck for £47.50, just time to order for Christmas if you order soon I think.
One of the good things about these big sets of Duplo bricks is that they come in a large strong plastic storage box ideal for the toy cupboard keeps all the pieces together. The box is green and has a transparent lid .
