I am playing with the children's toys again, this time the duplo brick set 5572 .

I expect most of you know what a duplo brick is. Just in case you do not Duplo bricks are made by Lego. Duplo bricks are twice the length, height and width of traditional Lego brick. But they are compatible, will join onto Lego bricks.
Lego have been making Duplo bricks since 1969 they have developed since .Duplo bricks are great construction bricks for children aged between 2 and 5 years old a child older than 5 will play with them but be able to use harder construction sets.

This brick set 5572 is a good one a great starter set, or one for nursery school. This set of bricks is contained in a sturdy green plastic box ideal for storage and keeping bricks tidy.

There are 100 duplo pieces in this set, so plenty for your children's constructions.
Included in the set are the basic bricks of course there is also a duplo figure wearing a blue hat. There are a couple of bricks with wheels to make the chassis too that fantastic vehicle. Some of the bricks are clear so can be used for windows. There is a shaped one that will represent a roof
.There are bricks with eyes to make those wondrous animals.. All your child needs are these bricks and some imagination to make the most fantastic buildings.

You might need a bit of imagination to interpret them of course. Don't be to quick to say oh that's a nice elephant it might not be it might be something completely different in your child's eyes. Ask them about their construction to get clues as to what it is. Duplo bricks are great tools for early colour recognition the colours are bright. When playing ask your child for the different coloured bricks get them used to the names of colours , build blue/red towers. Talk to your child while playing with these bricks it will help their language development. You can also help number work count the bricks build towers and count the bricks , be careful though your child will undoubtedly knock the towers down , its added fun .
After your child has build their lego constructions they might play with them making the man climb towers go to his house drive that rather rickety looking vehicl

This set of bricks will cost you £ 29.35 from http://www.brickset.com and the lego shop. U.S. price $44.99 I looked at a couple of price comparison sites can not find it much cheaper anywhere.

Have fun playing with your children and this Duplo set . These Duplo bricks are really good play value
