WHAT IT IS

The LEGO DUPLO Interactive Train Adventure from The LEGO Group rolls into the playroom, inspiring hands-on, creative play! Kids ages 2 and up can hop aboard the fun as they build their own train and tracks, channeling their inner conductor. This set includes four LEGO DUPLO figures, the Push&Go train, 14 track pieces, three destination builds (a small station, park, or beach), three action bricks, and other accessories. The train features a Push&Go design so that when little ones give the train a gentle push, it takes off on the tracks. The colorful action bricks are a unique LEGO innovation. Kids place these bricks along the tracks, which trigger fun effects as the train passes them, like sounding the horn, reversing the train’s direction, and more.

WHY WE LOVE IT

This interactive train set is perfect for toddlers with a budding imagination. They can build and rebuild destinations and train routes, strengthening their fine motor skills. The LEGO DUPLO pieces and figures are chunky, making it easy for little hands to grasp. The action bricks in this set help little ones learn about cause and effect, therefore building their decision-making skills and sparking early STEM learning. As kids notice what happens each time the train passes an action brick, they then begin to understand how their actions create different outcomes. Kids are essentially coding their own technical train adventure!

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

Caregivers should allot a few minutes before playtime to insert four AAA batteries. While this toy comes with a higher price tag, it’s also a long-term play item that keeps kids entertained. Also available for download is the LEGO DUPLO Interactive Trains app, which allows kids to connect to their train via Bluetooth. With the app, kids can operate the lights, blow the train horn, and even record their own voice and sound effects. Additional LEGO DUPLO train expansion sets are available to further extend the adventure.
