Not every craft needs to be done with glue and crayons. For example, today we used a simple child’s toy to build and create wild feats of architecture; Duplo Blocks.
Lego is actually a combination of two Danish words, LEg and GOdt which means ‘play well’. They currently produce 2,400 different types of blocks[1]. One such product is the Duplo blocks line. These Legos are larger, perfectly designed for little hands and young imaginations. You can also buy several other brands of toddler blocks, such as, mega blocks and little people building sets.
LeeAnn loves to build with almost any type of block. She has wooden, foam, Lego and Lincoln
Today we pulled out her largest set of Duplo blocks and went to town. This activity allows you to create a temporary formation of astounding beauty. We built several towers before creating one she really liked. We then made two block cars that traveled to and from the castle for an hour.
The best part about these creations is they come apart and can be used again. Anything that can be used multiple times and is easy to clean up makes the top of my list of cool toys!
So today, play with one of your child’s toy sets too, Bring in other toys as well to add to the fun. We’ve built around her train set and let her dolls live in the castles. These games help to strengthen your child’s imagination and can often inspire amazing works of art.
