The LEGO DUPLO theme was introduced as far back as 1969 and is designed for children ages 1 to 5. It features DUPLO figures which are much larger than minifigures and DUPLO blocks which are about twice the length, width, and height of a standard System brick. Like LEGO System, DUPLO also has subthemes that are often junior versions of System themes, like Pirates and Castle and licensed themes like Disney and Super Heros.
1992 LEGO Sets
In 1992, the LEGO Group continued to build upon its global presence and innovation. The company launched the LEGO Dacta line, later known as LEGO Education, aiming to provide educational solutions and bridge the gap between play and learning. This initiative emphasized hands-on teaching materials for schools, reinforcing the brand's belief in the educational value of play. Additionally, the Duplo line expanded its appeal to younger children with the introduction of the Toolo subtheme, which incorporated simple tools and screws. As the company looked to the future, its commitment to both education and product diversification became increasingly evident.
