I am really loving the age that Emma Kate is at right now. Just in the past month, her language has exploded, her motor skills have gotten a lot better, and she has gotten way more imaginative with playtime, which is also really fun for me! One of her new favorite things to do is to play with LEGOยฎ DUPLOยฎ bricks.
These preschool building toys are specially designed for little hands (ages 1ยฝ – 5 years old). They are much larger than regular LEGOยฎ bricks (twice the size!) Making them safer for toddlers and preschoolers and easier for them to handle.
I have to admit, playing with these toys brought back so many childhood memories for me, I love how LEGOยฎ bricks have stood the test of time, and more than 25 years after I played with them in my living room, now my daughter is playing with them in our living room!
As soon as Emma Kate opened the box, I was down on the floor next to her, helping her set up the โchoo choo trainโ and building tall towers that are โso highโ (her favorite). I think itโs so important to not only let a child’s imagination grow, but as parents, we should be partnering with our kids in playtime, showing them the ropes and encouraging them to learn new things. Kids learn by playing, touching, and experiencing new things. It is my job to guide Emma Kate on this learning journey, and LEGOยฎ DUPLOยฎ just makes it a lot of FUN! The nice of the legos is that you can build anything you want, there are few toys like that, for example a spinning toy that you can learn how to build your own.
LEGOยฎ DUPLOยฎ offers so much flexibility and open-ended play for each stage of your young oneโs development. You can do things from build towers, to trains, to buildings and more. There are even figurines like cute dogs and little people to put in the structures.
