LEGO DUPLO Read & Build *
There are just a few major toy brands that are my go-to choices when it comes to buying toys for the kids, and LEGO is definitely at the top of that list.
This week, we were able to try out a LEGO DUPLO Read and Build set. We received the Busy Farm Read & Build set, which is perfect for us since Evan is a huge fan of barnyard animals!
How does LEGO DUPLO Read & Build work?
It’s simple. You receive a book and bricks. You read the book with your child, and the story provides simple, clear instructions for building the characters within the story. For the busy farm, this sweet little pig was one of our characters. Keep reading to find out how you can win LEGO DUPLO’s Read & Build for your child!
As you can see from the photo below, the directions for building the animals are perfect for toddlers, and each animal is comprised of just 3-5 bricks.
Evan was easily able to help me assemble animals. I loved spending this time with him and it gave me a really easy way to provide some structured learning and play.
I just love the idea of bringing a 3-dimensional element to story time. This really brings your child’s imagination to life, and we even continued the story line with our own imaginary farm-animal-antics when the book ended!
When the story is done, let your child create some free-form creatures with the blocks for even more fun. We made some interesting 3-eyed monsters!
I really love LEGO DUPLO’s Read and Build, and this is one toy I plan to keep tucked away for Kara. She’ll be ready to read and build in no time too!

I’d love to win LEGO DUPLO Read & Build so my kids have fun reading and creatively building at the same time
This would be great for my grandson. He really likes the Lego’s he has. He is 2 1/2 and it really is neat watching him try to build things. He loves animals , so this would be a real treat.
This set would make a great gift. my boys love all things lego.
My daughter loves duplo. She would love this!
This is awesome and would be a great birthday present for my daughter!

Two of my toddlers favorite things are her duplos and her books, so this would be perfect for her. She loves to build and to flip through books on her own.
Legos are great to teach my child concentration as he builds with imagination. Love Lego!
My daughter would love this. She loves to follow directions and she loves books. Little bookworm.
i love Lego and my mom at 86 years old still builds with it. Of course, not the duplo, but i love to read, and have little ones that would love the busy farm set. i have not seen it in Canada! Thanks for the chance to win.
My little guy is just getting into the whole blocks/building thing, I would love to win this for him!
i think this looks like a fun toy becuase they get to read and build,id love to win this for my daughter she would love this!
I would love to win this for my daughter as it seems like a great toy to teach her many different developmental skills!
My toddler would love this!
This looks like the best version of legos for toddlers. I have a two year old and a four year old who would love to play with this.
I want to win this for my son who loves Legos. It looks like both a fun and educational toy. I like the fact that it gives a guide for the child to build each animal.
My grandson would SO love this! he is at that age where he loves lego’s and at 2 is quickly picking up words and reading from his sister!
I would love this toy for my daughter’s. They are going to be 3 and 4 years old and they are having a cowgirl party they love barnyard animals so this would make a great educational gift for them. They love to read and i think this is really cool and interactive toy.
Would like to win so I can give these to little Rachel
i would love this. it would help keep my kids quiet during church.
I’d love this for my grandson. He is 2 and I think he’d like to build while his Dad reads to him.
My grandson loves the lego duplo blocks.
I love legos and incorporating reading into play is a great idea!
My daughter loves her books and adding the lego’s just makes it that much more fun and interactive.
My kids love to create the strange and unusual with their legos. Adding some fun animals to the mix would be great fun!
I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old girls. This would be great for both of them. One can learn to read and the other can learn shapes.
As a family, we adore Legos of all kinds. But the Duplo style are perfect for little hands. The sets that are really intricate are too detail oriented yet for my two. I like that they keep the Duplo sets simple and easy to put together.

Whoever thought of this is truly clever and thinking outside the square
Anything that will stimulate my son’s creativity and let him have fun at the same time is a winner in my book. I think he would love this!
This would be perfect for our little ones! We live on a farm and LEGO is one of the brands we look for when we are looking for toys!
This would be fantastic for my little girl. We are always trying to read to her, but she is so wiggly and always wanting something to touch and play with while we read. Her daddy is a lego fanatic as well, and this would be great for the two of them to bond over.

My son would love these, he is just discovering the world of duplos!
Looks like a great teaching project!!
This looks like a great way to merge fine motor development with cognitive development while integrating 2D to 3D object recognition…and it will be so fun they won’t even know they are learning all the boring sounding stuff I just mentioned! I have a difficult time getting my two-year old, Evan, to sit down and listen to a book but this will give him something hands on to do that will keep his attention while I read to him. Great find!
My 3 year old son would love this set. Thanks!
It looks like a fun new twist on Legos which are really big in my house right now!
I have been eye-ing these up!! My niece loves to read and loves duplo. I haven’t tried it with my little one. This would be a great way to try! :)
This looks like such a cute idea! I love that the child can “read” and build at the same time. This is something I want to have at my house for when my little grandson comes to play! :)
I think it would be fun to learn and play for my twins.

Leave it to Lego to put these together. I think these “tooks” toy/books would help kids who may be reluctant to read to start enjoying books.
I think this would be a wonderful Christmas present for my Nephew, he loves to build and is learning to read. Thank you!
