One of our favorite toy themes is LEGO DUPLO. I used to be a LEGO Master Model Builder over at LEGOLAND California and everyone used to tease me over my love of DUPLO.
Now that I have little kids, I get to realize my dreams of playing with piles of the chunkier, smoother LEGO bricks usually enjoyed by the younger set. My husband and I worked on this Train Tunnel Island with a little help from the kids.
We love DUPLO because it is a ton of fun for my almost 4 year old boy and relatively safe around our 8 month old girl. It is easy to build with and you can make something really cool that you can play with in a relatrively short amount of time. You can follow the simple instructions or you can get creative and build what you like.
Want to enjoy some building time with the little kids? Here are our favorite DUPLO sets for this year. They make great gifts, there is a theme for almost everyone and if you get a enough of them you can build almost anything you like. There is nothing like a pile of DUPLO boxes under the tree!
Best DUPLO Sets for 2015
Sofia the First Royal Castle 10595 on Amazon.com
Castles are always fun and Sofia the First is HOT right now. Plus her DUPLO minifigure is adorable. It is easy to build and fun to play with. That's why this is one of my favorite DUPLO sets this season!
2. Disney Princess Collection
Disney Princess Collection 10596 on Amazon.com
Into the Disney Princesses, then I recommend this cute trio of princesses DUPLO set. Before this set, you had to buy 3 different sets to get all of these figures. I'm buying 2 - one for me and one for the baby, because Disney branded sets are going to go up in value for sure once they are retired, especially this one.
