Toy Fair Must Haves - February 11th 2013
Lego Duplo
Lego Duplo
Description:

LEGO DUPLO bricks are two times the size of traditional LEGO bricks, making them the perfect size for toddlers' small hands.

The 2013 collection allows children to be creative and role play as they build, and includes more play options than ever to help contribute to every stage of learning.

NEW Toddler items, like this LEGO DUPLO Pull Along set, feature bright colors and patterns to engage even the youngest of builders.

There tends to be a gap in toys for children between the ages of 12months and two years old but a lot happens in this time. This set fills that gap and is recommended for children as young as 18 months.
