Best Learning Toys for Toddlers

Toddlers are full of energy and excitement as they explore the world around them. Young children learn best when they are playing – engaging joyfully with new experiences and caring people.

By learning through play, young children build key developmental skills and grasp new concepts faster and more instinctively – and have fun doing it!

Turn education into playtime with these great sets designed to perfectly fit the hands of a toddler and get them started on their journey.

What is learning through play?

We are seeing more and more research supporting the idea that children learn best through play.

What adults see as “play” is important work for kids, helping them to develop key physical, creative, cognitive, social and emotional skills. From their earliest years, children are learning, whether they are a baby looking in a mirror during tummy time or a toddler pretending to play vet with their favourite stuffed animal.

Even as they grow older, playful learning is still necessary. By making connections between joyful experiences and education, kids will grow to become life-long learners with a love of exploration.

To help them on their way, we’ve chosen some of the top LEGO® DUPLO® sets designed to help toddlers launch into a world of playful discovery.

LEGO® DUPLO® Classic Cars and Trucks Brick Box

Delight your vehicle-loving toddler with this Cars and Trucks Brick Box. Kids aged 18 months and up can build their own wheeled wonders with this set of 80 large, brightly coloured bricks, three wheelbases and two LEGO® DUPLO® figures.

This set engages young children’s passion for vehicles while helping them develop fine motor skills through building. Kids can practise focusing on and following the simple picture instructions to build a speedy racing car and podium, a tow truck, or a family car with a countryside scene. Toddlers can also exercise their imaginations by building their own creations, and play out fun stories with the included mechanic, child and bee figures.

LEGO® DUPLO® Peppa Pig Supermarket

Kids can take Peppa Pig, George, Mummy and Daddy on a shopping adventure with the LEGO® DUPLO® Peppa Pig Supermarket playset! This build-and-rebuild toy is perfect for pre-schoolers ages 2 and up. They can role-play the familiar scenario of going food shopping by taking Peppa’s family to the buildable supermarket in the iconic red car from the TV programme.

Pre-schoolers may recognise familiar details from their own supermarket experiences, including a self-scan checkout, shopping trolley, chiller cabinet and food elements. Kids can practise their fine motor skills while they play pretend, taking LEGO DUPLO figures of Peppa, George, Mummy and Daddy on a trip to the supermarket. Families can also join in with the play, using the set to help toddlers explore their feelings around shopping trips. Adults can spark conversations with kids about behaviour in shop settings, or learn new words for the things they notice there!

LEGO® DUPLO® Caring for Animals at the Farm

This Caring for Animals at the Farm playset is the ideal gift for any little animal lover. Kids can build a barn and chicken coop to house the eight LEGO® DUPLO® animals, including adorable horse, sheep, cow, cat and chicken figures. They can role-play taking care of a farm with the included adult and child figures. Adults can engage with kids and show them how to perform daily farm activities, from collecting eggs to brushing and feeding the horses, to mucking out the stables!

The large, colourful and durable bricks are designed to fit easily in small hands as toddlers develop their fine motor skills. Building the playset also helps them work on their problem-solving abilities as they work out how to create their dream farm.

LEGO® DUPLO® Town Visit to the Vet Clinic

Teach young children about caring for pets with Visit to the Vet Clinic set. Toddlers can role-play taking their pets to the vet surgery with this set, helping them develop the social-emotional skill of empathy while exploring this real-world scenario.

The playset comes with two cute LEGO® DUPLO® animal figures of a dog and a cat, as well as a vet figure. Taking a beloved pet to the vet surgery can bring up a lot of feelings for children, and adults can help them work through those feelings by role-playing what happens at the clinic. Together, kids and adults can pretend to help the vet take care of the animals. Kids can weigh pets on the scales, listen to their heartbeat and then wash and groom them.

LEGO® DUPLO® My First Animal Train

Little ones aged 18 months and older will love this fun and creative My First Animal Train toy. This set features four buildable animals: a rooster, a sheep, a giraffe and a cow. Toddlers can follow the instruction cards to find the pieces to build the animals and then match them to one of the three brightly coloured carriages.

The fun doesn’t end there, though! Kids can also build their own unique animal creations by mixing and matching the pieces. The set also includes two extra bricks to help them express their creativity even further. Fun details like the flexible piece for the rooster’s neck and the moving carriages offer opportunities for sensory play and fine motor skill development.

LEGO® DUPLO® My First Daily Routines: Eating & Bedtime

The Daily Routines: Eating & Bedtime set is a fun way for pre-schoolers to practise these everyday activities and explore their feelings with four relatable animal toys.

Both bedtime and mealtime often come with big emotions for little ones. This set can help adults spark conversations about these routines with toddlers. The set includes two cute animal families in their homes – a cat family and a bear family! Both families come with a grown-up and a child. The kitten and bear cub figures come with face bricks showing two expressions. One side is happy and the other is sad, allowing toddlers to express their feelings even when they don’t have the words!

Adults and kids can role-play together, acting out the routines and working through feelings and behaviour in a fun and joyful way. Toddlers also work on their problem-solving and fine motor skills while building each animal home. The routines are even colour coded, making building and learning a breeze.

Continue the learning with the Daily Routines: Bath Time (10413) set (sold separately), featuring an elephant family in a little blue bathroom!

The set also includes a colourful LEGO DUPLO ABC book and a stereo element so kids can sing or say their ABCs along with the included figures! This imaginative set encourages pre-schoolers to practise letter and colour recognition, learn to compare items, and observe and imitate, helping your little one build confidence and excitement in learning.
