Plan the perfect route

The first step on your way to LEGO DUPLO hunt fun is to plan a course that your kids will love. Will it take them to the far corners of the garden for an exciting surprise? Or lead them to a secret nook with a tiny door to fit a fairy (or a little one)? Will the hunt be indoors or outdoors? Whatever your plan, it’s time to stir up your imagination! 

Find your hiding spots

Next, scout out the best hiding places. What objects could you put your treasure behind? Are there some easier spots you can use that will keep your little ones motivated?

Remember to think about height! Crouch down to their eye level to ensure you’re not making it too hard. Too high and your little one might not be able to spot their treasure.

Make sure you evenly spread the treasure throughout your route to keep the excitement going.

Switch between styles

Finally, it’s time to pick what sort of LEGO DUPLO hunt you’ll try first. Here are a few ideas to hop into…

LEGO® DUPLO® figure hunt

Oh no! Your child’s LEGO DUPLO figures are all missing and need to be rescued… can they try to find them?

LEGO DUPLO brick-by-brick hunt

Hide all the bricks and figures from one LEGO DUPLO set and ask your little one to build it with you once they’ve collected all the elements.

LEGO DUPLO color chase

A great one for siblings or playdates! Ask each child to search for a different color of LEGO DUPLO bricks and see who can find them all the quickest.

LEGO DUPLO egg
