We are huge LEGO DUPLO fans in our house, so it was fun to host a house party for their new Read & Build line of toys. These are super cute kits containing a board book and a set of blocks. The set we were sent was about a farm, and all the kids thoroughly enjoyed building the animals to go along with the story! Johnny stacked them into the totem pole featured above :)
Newly-three-year-old Lily is in love with the farm set! And everybody adored the chocolate chip cookies my sisters made. Hooray for sisters!!!
Several kids worked together to build a barn with our collection of DUPLO bricks so that the animals would have somewhere to live:
There was a lot of tower building, as well:
My personal favorite? This giraffe that one of the kids built, inspired by the Read & Build animals!
Do you love DUPLO bricks? My kids play with bricks that belonged to my younger brothers and sisters, and they are still like new!

The read and build sets look great – I’ve not seen them here in the UK – internet shopping here we come!

This looks like a great party theme, and I love Johnny’s totem pole and the giraffe!
DUPLO blocks are a constant at our house. I picked up masses of them via local online classifieds, and they turned out to be a great investment. The used blocks cleaned up just like new! A fun thing about picking up random pieces this way is that we own a wide variety of DUPLO people, all of whom are very popular. :)

I’m always amazed at how well LEGO toys clean up – we’ve had excellent luck cleaning up the used small bricks as well.

Why couldn’t they have come up with this when my kids were still young enough for Duplo?
