Everything you need to get the most from your LEGO® DUPLO® train set

Welcome to the world of LEGO® DUPLO® Trains, where imagination meets education! These bright and engaging train sets are more than just toys; they’re gateways to essential skills like problem solving and early coding.

As your little ones embark on their exciting train journeys, they’ll not only have a fantastic time but also develop valuable skills that will set them up for success in the future. Let’s take a ride through how these sets work and the incredible benefits they offer!

How do LEGO® DUPLO® train sets work?

LEGO DUPLO trains start their journey with our push-and-go engines and various expansion sets that let your child travel through tunnels and over bridges, connecting them to new places and people along the way! But the real magic happens with our special action bricks. When your child places one of them on the track, it triggers a range of exciting actions as the train passes over them.

The tracks don’t require perfect assembly to function smoothly, allowing young builders to focus on creativity and exploration. This unexpected yet highly positive aspect encourages imaginative play and fosters confidence as children embark on their train adventures!

Everything from sounding the horn to reversing direction – this interactive play not only entertains but also encourages early coding skills as your child learns to predict what will happen next!

What benefits can kids get from the trains?

The big, exciting takeaway is that as your child learns how to place the action bricks on the track and predict what they do, they are essentially practicing a form of basic coding. What better way is there to give your toddler a fun introduction into one of the most important skill sets to learn as an adult?!

Aside from this, all LEGO DUPLO sets are designed to boost kids’ IQ (cognitive, physical, creative) skills and EQ (emotional, social) skills. Each LEGO DUPLO train set is no different.

On the IQ skills side, as kids learn different ways to combine those multicolored action bricks, they get the perfect chance to practice their grasp of colors. Furthermore, you can help them as they predict what each brick will do; a crucial cognitive skill for them to learn! The train tracks also test out kids’ hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

Emotional intelligence is just as important as cognitive skills. While playing, children build resilience as they experiment with the action bricks and learn to focus on the task at hand. They also develop emotional management skills, especially when things don’t go as planned on their first attempt.

Fun ways to play together

Playing together with LEGO DUPLO trains creates wonderful bonding moments! Here are some fun ideas:

• Spatial awareness: Driving the train over the bridge and up to the crossing and purposefully combining tracks into large and small journeys can help your little one understand how different actions result in different outcomes.
• Problem solving: Learning from previous attempts to control the train with the simple push-and-go function to get to different destinations, solving any problems along the way until your little one likes the outcome.
• Keep trying: Your little one experiments with building the track and bridge, showing lots of persistence, staying engaged, often trying varying strategies until successful.

Train toys for toddlers

Each LEGO DUPLO train set is designed so it can easily be combined with every other LEGO DUPLO train set, allowing kids to effortlessly expand their journeys as far as their tracks (and imagination) will take them!

These educational toys are designed specifically for young children, ensuring they are age-appropriate and safe. With their bright colors and interactive features they are a fantastic way to introduce your child to the world of train toys while supporting their developmental needs.
