LEGO Duplo sets are not just toys; they're vehicles for imagination, creativity, and learning. For 5-year-olds, these larger bricks offer endless possibilities for independent play and exploration. Using a Duplo Starting Set the possibilities are endless. In this blog, we'll explore a variety of simple yet engaging LEGO Duplo creations that 5-year-olds can enjoy building on their own, fostering independence and confidence one brick at a time.
Animal Friends
Encourage your child to create their own collection of animal friends using Duplo bricks. From lions to elephants to birds, the possibilities are endless. Simple animal shapes can be easily constructed using basic Duplo bricks, allowing children to experiment with colors and sizes while honing their fine motor skills.

Whether it's a rainbow-colored skyscraper or an old-fashioned castle, building towers provides opportunities for creative expression and problem-solving as children experiment with balance and stability.
