duplo

Preschooler's construction set

Duplo is a line of building blocks made by Lego, designed for young children.

The bricks are twice the size of standard Lego pieces in each dimension—easier for small hands to grasp and less likely to be swallowed.

Duplo blocks connect with regular Lego, allowing children to transition as they grow: She started with Duplo before moving to regular Lego sets.
