Children and adults love to create with the lego police set. For younger children, Lego makes sets of bricks designed for smaller hands, called LegoPolice Duplo set. Lego Police Duplo sets offer the same benefits of Lego, but they are easier to manipulate and do not pose the same potential choking hazard that the smaller Lego sets do.

The Lego Police Station and Legos Sets includes 82 pieces that combine to make 5 vehicles, 4 policemen, 2 robbers, and a 3-story police station. The Lego Police set is a perfect example of all of the benefits that come from playing with Lego Police Duplo set.

By re-enacting a story line and figuring out how to solve problems are two important components of imaginative play, and this set offers ample opportunities for unstructured, imaginative discovery. The Lego Police set also promotes eye-hand coordination and provides plenty of opportunities for children to role-play and to make up stories they then play out alone or with friends.

As with all Lego Police Duplo sets, this set can be used with other sets to create an endless variety of buildings and communities. Pairing this set with the Community Vehicles Set, the Community People Set, or the Hospital Set, for instance, will expand a childs opportunity to create even more elaborate story lines and to explore more relationships between community members.
 

Lego Police Duplo sets keep children engaged for hours of imaginative play. These Lego Police sets help children to learn to follow directions, learn about spatial relations, learn about principles of cause and effect, and develop tactile and small motor skills as well as linear thinking skills. Lego Police Duplo sets are a wonderful investment since these toys are durable, the elements interchange and the sets work together.

Lego Police Duplo sets really are teaching tools disguised as toys (which is not to say they are not just plain fun: ask any adult who still finds it relaxing and engaging to build with any Lego sets!). Duplo bricks encourage imaginative play, so sets like the Lego Police Station invite children to construct an imaginary world and to give voices to the people who inhabit it. Children love to play good guys versus bad guys, so the Lego Police Station Set is the perfect backdrop for exploring what makes a community work. With this set, children learn about the relationship of an individual to a group and the importance of teamwork.

Lego Police Duplo set is a wonderful toy for children who are hands-on, or tactile, learners. The bricks designed to be easy for little hands to manipulate and to encourage children to learn by doing. Children construct buildings and miniature worlds by building them brick by brick, learning tactile skills, fine motor skills, and learning about problem solving and balance along the way. Lego Police Duplo sets also encourage children to identify colors and to experiment with basic physics concepts. Building with legos also requires that children recognize patterns; pattern recognition is a key element in the journey toward literacy and one more bonus to playing and learning with them.

 

The Lego Police Station Set requires that children follow directions in order to construct the set. Even pre-literate children can recognize the different symbols that stand for different blocks or elements. Recognizing symbols is a discrete step toward literacy, and Lego Police Duplo sets offer plenty of practice. Just the act of following directions to build these products has benefits that range from honing linear thinking skills to math problem solving. The work of children is play, and this play often takes place in a social setting. Lego Duplo toys encourage children to play and learn together.

Children can build the set together and then decide who plays what character, developing and changing a story line by communicating with each other. Role play games are so valuable to a childs development because they provide an opportunity for children to work through conflict with others, negotiate meaning, engage in dialogue and express themselves verbally, develop a sense of empathy and sympathy toward others, and to understand the dynamics of human relationships and how an individual functions within a larger group. The concept of collaborative play is one that has to be learned, and toys like the Lego Police Station Set encourage children to hone this skill.

 

Q. What Is the Difference Between LEGO & Duplo?
A. Lego Duplo blocks look a lot like Lego bricks, only bigger. They have the same proportions, and both have the same distinctive knobs on top--or "studs," as the manufacturer calls them--that allow the pieces to click together firmly. Lego, Lego Police set and Lego Duplo are completely compatible.

Q. Why Choose Lego Police Duplo?
A. Specifically designed for younger children, Lego Police Duplo bricks are big. In fact their volume is 8 times larger than an average Lego brick, so they cannot fit into mouths of young children. They are well built, non toxic and ideal for small hands to learn improved dexterity with continued play.
