VIVOLEGO: Sobre o LEGO Duplo

Sobre o LEGO® DUPLO®

ENDLESS FUN IN SMALL HANDS

LEGO® DUPLO® is an unlimited source of creative play for preschoolers (ages 1 ½-5) . See your child imagine, create and explore whole new worlds with oversize LEGO bricks designed to fit perfectly in small hands.

LEGO DUPLO bricks are called DUPLO because the dimensions are double the size of LEGO system bricks, and they are 100% compatible?

We believe that playing is the best way to learn for preschoolers - and with LEGO DUPLO there are so many ways to play. Start your child’s building career with a LEGO DUPLO building toy or head over to Apps or Downloads now for even more ways to play.

PLAY SAFE

Play is fun, but as toy makers we take it very seriously. All LEGO DUPLO products are made to the highest possible standards of quality and safety - because for us playing safe is the only way to play.

We are very proud that parents consider LEGO DUPLO toys some of the safest in the world - and even prouder that they allow our toys to play a small part in their children’s development.

WE’VE THOUGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING

We’ve got 44 years of experience with children’s play patterns, so we know what children of any age are going to do to their toys before they do.

All our designs are required to pass rigorous bite tests, pull tests, pressure tests and step tests -all things children will invariably do to even their most favourite toys.

Baby in Bloom (Up to 2 years)

The first few years of a baby’s life are precious for parents. There’s nothing quite like watching children take their first uncertain steps or hearing that magical first word.

Even after having learned their first words, children will explore the world and express themselves mainly through play - in fact, playing is the very first ‘language’ we all learn. And watching your child play is your way of listening.

From age 1 ½, you can start stacking LEGO DUPLO bricks together or look at different colour combinations. It probably won’t be too long before your child has acquired the fine motor skills to do some basic stacking without your help. You can also practice animal names and sounds together with Rabbit, Giraffe and the other DUPLO animals.

Reflecting Reality (2 years)

Your child still learns by playing - and with the onset of imagination comes the urge to go shopping, have tea parties or drive great, big busses. Pretend busses, of course. Copying grown-ups and our activities is your child’s way of getting to understand more about the world at this age.

Your child will also probably start putting LEGO DUPLO bricks together to make small towers - and just as probably knock them over straight away and start over. That’s just your child’s way of saying “Practice makes perfect”. All this practice will be followed by more creative building and lead to an improved understanding of shapes and colours.

Your child will still love all sorts of animals - including Rabbit and his DUPLO friends - and be very interested in stories and talks about where they live and what they eat.

Imaginary Independence (3 years)

At age 3, your child will begin to love company - and especially playing together. There’s so much to learn for a three-year-old, but with a little encouragement and praise from Mum and Dad everything becomes exciting and worth learning.

Although the old familiar LEGO DUPLO bricks, animals and figures will still be important to your child, a lot of the time will be spent role-playing and playing pretend. Don’t be surprised if you happen to overhear some spectacularly funny conversations on make-believe calls along the way.

Childish Curiosity (4 years)

They speak in questions. That’s four-year-olds in a nutshell. Your child is incredibly curious about the world and everything in it, so prepare to answer all sorts of questions. We bet at least one of them will have you stumped and become the stuff of family legend - you know, the kind your child will be embarrassed to hear repeated in a graduation speech down the line.

Four-year-olds enjoy playing with friends and their creative building with LEGO DUPLO will become more and more advanced. You can help to trigger your child’s imagination and spark new ideas by combining different LEGO DUPLO sets - what happens, for example, when Cinderella takes an elephant for a ride in the fire truck? Or when the Princess Castle doubles as a rocket?
