LEGO DUPLO building sets with animals in the lead
Because most children love animals, LEGO has developed various building sets in which these creatures play the leading role.
In this article we mainly focus on LEGO DUPLO packages with the theme 'safari' and animals from the wilderness.
We have looked at the LEGO DUPLO packs with these animals and picked our favorite five for you.
The sets can be used as an educational tool to educate your child about wild animals: where they live, how they spend their daily life and possibly about issues such as animal protection, care and extinction.
We must continue to take good care of our world, otherwise these beautiful animals will disappear from our globe and of course we don't want that!
Our favorite LEGO DUPLO safari packages
Our number one building set is the LEGO DUPLO Savannah, an extremely attractive package for children between the ages of 2 and 5 in which they can learn about animals from the African savannah.

The package has a friendly price and offers fun play options for a real animal lover.
The number two in our list is the LEGO DUPLO Veterinary Clinic. A somewhat more extensive package than our number one and therefore a bit more pricey.
