This would make a great starter set for a child aged 2 and older ,a normal 5-6 year old will be beginning to grow out of Duplo Lego but these bricks will join to the smaller Lego as they are twice the size.

This My town set is great it includes yellow , red , blue , green and brown bricks there are 4 wheels to make a car , there are windows to make a house or office block/ block of flats a few of the bricks are sloping ,to make a roof maybe or the tree shape. There is a flower brick and a few white fences. A base comes with the set to give a building stability. Also 1 figure comes with this set will make a tree a bricks. The buildings that your child will make is only as limited as their experience and imagination.

A child will have a great time with these Duplo bricks inventing their own imaginary world and while doing so make sense of the real world.

I really think Lego Duplo bricks are fantastic children love them, (I can tell that by the length of time that they will play with Duplo bricks) Duplo bricks are attractive bright primary colours ideal for teaching your child his/her colours . Duplo bricks are safe they are smooth and most a bit big to put in the mouth and swallow, do watch those flowers though.
Duplo bricks are easy for a child's hand to grasp a good size too.

While your child is playing doesn't tell them but they are also learning playing is really a Childs work. Practicing their fine and gross motor skills. Learning the properties of materials duplo lego plastic smooth and has nobly bits. Learning to count, oh go on count with your child as they are building a tower. Learning language too, up down on top under, by the side, beneath do talk to your child while playing with them.

If your child is playing with another or in a group while playing with Lego they are also learning social skills a 2 year old will happily play alongside another a three year old will join in and they will play together cooperating well maybe but it's a time to learn sharing the disappointment of not getting the wheels first.

Yes Lego Duplo are great bricks I would recommend this My Town set for your child at home or for the child care centre . They are very, very durable will last many many play hours Mt grandchildren have some, not the town set but another duplo set 30 + years old they were my daughters . All Duplo bricks need is a wash in warm soapy water when they get dirty. I disinfected ours too after they had been in the loft for 20 years.

Lego have been making Duplo bricks since 1969 by Lego a Danish firm. Go to
