Well it’s Christmas and my daughter has receive some more Duplo. I found this large barrel with 215 pieces. They are mostly standard Duplo Bricks 2 x 4 in various colors.

I start seeing some evolution in her handling of the Duplo bricks. We are way past the stage where she comes in and destroys everything. She is building them up in stacks and adding more and more pieces. The way she pushes the new blocks onto the others, shows how her dexterity is improving. Right, I know, I’m a parent and I see these new movements for the first time in my child, so I’m impressed 🙂

She also got a Duplo franchized “Thomas the Train” set, now we just need to get her some train tracks and she should be off…

We where abroad travelling for two weeks in Corsica (France), and the weather wasn’t good a particuliar day, so while shopping I purchased this new set for Kaylee.

Here we have the cat (aka Mimi) and some more horses. She played with it in our holiday accomodation.

This box does contain some small pieces, so I only allowed her to play with the animals and the house. The rest is kept for another time.

This is the 2nd Duplo set we purchased for our daughter. We wanted a few more blocks to play with and the Horse and Cow where animals we see often.

Kaylee has started playing with this set and with the cool car. Yeah I know it’s a quad, but for a kid between 1.5 and 2 years old, having 4 wheels = car.

Duplo 4972 Animals

Well, over the past weekend I purchased my first LEGO Duplo box for my daughter. It’s just a simple box, with a few animals and a Minifig. She’s having quiet a lot of fun identifying the dog and the sheep. She doesn’t yet recognizes the Calf or the piglet.

What is interesting is that the Duplo line of toys from the LEGO group where invented and first released in 1969. It has evolved quiet a lot since then.
