How long has Lego Duplo been around?
Lego Duplo has long been a classic in the children's room. The big bricks for little hands (Lego advertising text) have been around since 1969. The first set contained a number of new big Duplo bricks and a few small normal Lego bricks. In the early years, Duplo also offered various plastic toys for children over 7 months. The red rabbit in the Duplo logo was introduced in the 1970s and is still Duplo's unmistakable trademark today.
Does Duplo fit Lego?
Yes, Duplo bricks fit on Lego bricks and vice versa. Lego already patented this combination possibility in 1967. This is one of the reasons why Lego Duplo and Lego are among the most popular toys worldwide. The building blocks only differ in size. Duplo bricks are twice as big as the normal Lego bricks. The size is perfect for children's hands. Small children can easily grasp the large bricks, put them together and take them apart again. The first Lego bricks from the 1950s also fit the current bricks. When your child has outgrown Duplo in a few years, Duplo bricks can still be used for playing together with normal Lego bricks for a long time.
