Find the Perfect Next Set for Your Preschooler

From animal adventures to wheels and worksites, there’s a LEGO® DUPLO® gift for every preschooler! Here’s how to find the ultimate next set…

Father Christmas has come and gone, and now the living room is somewhere underneath all the wrapping paper, chocolate coins and empty boxes. The good news is that – hopefully! – the big guy got the memo and dropped off some LEGO DUPLO sets for the mini-mes on Christmas Day.

Brace for a whole new level of excitement once those little hands get hold of their first LEGO DUPLO set. But why stop at just one? With each new theme and character, LEGO DUPLO sets open doors to even more wild (and slightly chaotic) adventures.

Here’s everything there is to know about finding the perfect next set your preschooler…

Understanding Preschooler Passions

The beauty of childhood interests is their endless, unstoppable energy – dinosaurs today, dump trucks tomorrow. Figuring out what makes a preschooler tick is a genius way to pick out the next LEGO DUPLO set for their growing collection. Think about it: their laser focus on every passing car, the squeals for each animal spotted or the determination to build castles fit for royalty… until they come crashing down. These passion points are more than just fun – they’re stealth lessons in learning with each additional set opening new possibilities.

Learning Through Play with LEGO DUPLO sets

While preschoolers are happily building and stacking, they’re doing more than just making a mess (sorry about that!); they’re quietly working on motor skills, tackling toddler-sized engineering challenges – which sometimes involves an epic rebuild – and building confidence with every structure they complete. Think of it as a kid-friendly crash course in understanding the world around them – no hard hats required.

Building on Their First Set

LEGO DUPLO sets are built to work together, so the farm animals from one set can team up with construction vehicles from another to create worlds as wild as kids’ imaginations. All LEGO DUPLO blocks fit together too, which means every new set adds fresh creative chaos.

By adding more sets, you don’t just extend the fun – you encourage kids to mix and match their interests in surprising ways to stretch their imagination skills.

Exploring New Themes and Characters

For preschoolers, a love for a theme is more than just a preference – it’s often the focus of their entire world. Luckily there’s a LEGO DUPLO set to suit almost every kind of adventurer – from Peppa Pig to police vehicles!

Animal Kingdom Adventures

LEGO DUPLO animal-themed sets bring a mini wildlife adventure right under the Christmas tree. With these playful sets, little explorers can transform the living room or their bedroom into a savanna with lions and giraffes, or a bustling farm with pigs, cows and chickens (minus the mud). Mixing and matching animal sets opens up endless opportunities for wild play and imaginative adventures!

Wheels and Worksites

For kids who light up at the sound of engines and live to build (or demolish), LEGO DUPLO vehicle sets are perfect for the wild week between Christmas and New Year. Construction sets let them dig, dump and bulldoze like pros while racing cars deliver high-speed thrills. LEGO DUPLO vehicles turn each play session into a preschool physics experiment with just enough mayhem to keep the holiday spirit rolling!

Real-Life Heroes and Helpers

For little ones fascinated by real-life heroes like firefighters and police officers, LEGO DUPLO hero sets add action to post-Christmas days. Kids can jump into rescue mode while zooming their fire trucks or keep the playroom neighborhood safe with a police station set. LEGO DUPLO hero sets let kids dive into big-hearted adventures, exploring real-life roles that make their world go round. Every play session will build their confidence as they role-play important jobs.

Imagining with Favorite Characters

For little fans of characters like Peppa Pig and Mickey Mouse, LEGO DUPLO character sets can bring a bit of magic (and some familiar faces) into the new year. LEGO DUPLO character sets turn playtime into storytelling time, letting kids spin their own tales and big adventures with the characters they adore – no costume required.

With so many possibilities, each new LEGO DUPLO set is a doorway to fresh learning and play. From animals and adventure to vehicles and beloved characters, there’s a set for every preschooler’s passion. And as their collection grows – so do their stories, skills and boundless imagination, one brick at a time.
