LEGO.com Duplo About

LEGO® DUPLO®

LEGO® DUPLO® preschool building toys are specially designed for the small hands and big imaginations of children aged 1½ - 5 years. DUPLO bricks are twice the size of standard LEGO bricks, making them a great way to kick off a child's building career. DUPLO is all about giving your child the opportunity to build, create, and develop while discovering so many ways to play!

LEGO® DUPLO® and Product Safety

In the LEGO Group we want to inspire the builders of tomorrow and as a toy company, we have a duty to make sure that our toys are safe for your child and you as a parent.

When it comes to the quality and testing of toys, we always refer to the most stringent requirements in the world, because we want you to be able to trust the LEGO® brand and let us become a part of your child’s development.

We want to make sure that it is safe for you to let your child play with LEGO® DUPLO® toys and, in that way, stimulate his/her creativity and spark his/her imagination with fun play experiences.

LEGO® DUPLO® toys - from test to trust

Did you know that a LEGO® DUPLO® brick can resist a pressure of 15 kg? Or that a DUPLO storage box is designed so that it will not break if your child climbs on to it?

The strict product safety requirements of the LEGO Group are applied to all our products, including the LEGO DUPLO toys: Based on our extensive knowledge about young children’s play patterns, we try to subject all our toys to actions that resemble what your child might do with them during play time. We make sure that every single product design passes a bite test, a pull test, a pressure test and a step test.
