Since joining the DUPLO panel earlier this year we have found more and more fun ways to play with it. These are my favourite, and all are great for this current rainy weather we are experiencing.
DUPLO is fantastic for improving coordination, logic, creativity and imagination, the possibilities really are endless.
Try some printing and painting with DUPLO
Combine with slimy Spaghett
Play Guess Who.
Do some simple sums
Add some sand for small world play.
Make a track for a Zhu Zhu pet or cars
Measure how many DUPLO bricks tall you are.
Build some towers and test how strong they are
Build a famous landmark
Can you think of anything else? and don’t forget about my Little Builders link up.
I like how you mixed up different things like the spagehetti and the legos, for some fun play.
Thanks x
This is the perfect post for me I’m getting ready to host a #legoduploparty .
oooh great. do let me know when it is. x
How cool!!
Love the idea of building race tracks.
Thanks Liz! It was great fun!
Love the printing idea, so clever. Our lego gets mixed up with the play mobil. Many a mansion gets built for them out of it! 🙂
ooooh I’d like to see that!
Brilliant Emma! Isn’t Duplo great? And you have so many different ideas. Simply brilliant!
Ooh what great learning opportunities!
Thank you for sharing on Kids Get Crafty!

Its really interesting to see what you can do with duplo because I have to admit we skipped it and went straight to lego with Goblin (33 months) because we felt it was more versatile. He loves playing with it, but maybe I could incorporate some Duplo as well as they are interchangable.
Great Duplo ideas. As we have two big Duplo fans in our house, we will use many of your ideas to get the usual block building more fun and new for the kids.
Thanks
I love the idea for making a track. We need to get some duplo blocks.
I love this post! Never would have thought to combine DUPLO with spaghetti!
Duplo is great for learning. I remember making race tracks with lego when I was small must be the way children think! Fun way to do sums too!
Great ideas!
I love those ideas- especially the strength tower. Very clever. I’ve also seen putting cvc words on the blocks (each letter on one block, and then sticking the blocks together).
So many fun things to do with Lego. I have pinned the maths one, I’ve been looking for fun ways to do more counting.
Thanks for linking to the Sunday showcase.
What great ideas!! Thanks for sharing them at Sharing Saturday!!
so much fun! I included this in my features for this week’s Sunday Showcase. Thanks for sharing all these fun ideas with us.
Cute! Don’t forget patterning activities (ABABAB, ABCABCABC, and so on) and skip counting counting with multiple stacks of duplos.
Love Duplo for Learning. I’ve made some Duplo Number Cards that people can print and use. Let me know if you’d like the link 🙂
Thank you, they look great!
