Advantages: Aood base

Disadvantages: None

I have played with a red Duplo Lego building plate in our first year's class. .This building base was perfect for building our duplo house onto.

Lego make a variety of coloured base building plates for all the different types of Lego. This red building plate model number 2598 is one for Duplo Lego bricks. There are 24x 24 studs measuring 38cm x 38cm t so space for a reasonable large construction. This building plate is square except that the corners are rounded; this makes it safer for your tot to carry no sharp corners. This base plate is also made in green.

Building plates are an ideal addition to ant duplo set as they will give stability to that construction. They are good so that your child can extend their Duplo play scene and fix a person or a shed next to the house /tower that they have built. The colour being red is attractive and encourages children to build on it. You could make the base for constructing your Childs Duplo city larger by fitting 2 or more base plates together with Duplo bricks fixing them.

Educationally Duplo is such a good toy suitable for children 18 months and older. Fitting duplo bricks onto this base will help your child practice their fine and gross motor skills. Duplo will inspire their imagination and creativity. Duplo bricks come in a variety of colour you can use them to help your Childs colour recognition. Name the colours as you build with them make towers/houses that are single coloured. Basic math's can be taught using Duplo Lego count the bricks as you build a tower onto the red base plate. . You can make patterns one blue brick one red one blue, one red... Duplo bricks are also good for language development, talk to your child while building models on to your red Duplo base plate make it high, tall, short, add more make your model bigger make it wider or really thin, oh dear its too tall its all fallen down your baby will learn some science here, things always fall down, not up.

Playing with Duplo will help your child gain an understanding of the world, Properties of plastic smooth, hard does not break easily. The red Duplo base is good as your child can feel the studs to fit the bricks onto; this is good for a visually impaired child.
I think that's about all I can think of for now. This red Duplo Lego is a really good addition to Duplo building bricks. Your child will happily play with it for about 18 months until they start using normal sized Lego about 4 or 5 years old even then they will still play with it as Duplo although larger studs than basic Lego is compatible to some degree.

This red base should last many play hours and should be in good condition to pass on to the next child in the family, its easy to wash if it gets slobbered on and dirty


You can buy this red Duplo base plate at many outlets on and off line. Good toy shops/departments will stock it
