The packs contain a story book made of strong cardboard and a selection of Lego Duplo bricks that can be used to build the animals or vehicles mentioned in the stories.
It's a lovely idea and all three of mine (aged 3, 6 and 8) were thrilled with theirs.

The lovely thing about this new Lego Duplo is that it's an activity that you do together, so whilst I read the story to the younger one he built the characters. I must say I was surprised at quite how much he enjoyed the fact that I was joining in for a change. (Way to make me feel bad Lego..).
So it's another thumbs up for Lego Duplo. And on an even better note I've since managed to persuade the 8 year old to do the reading instead of the filming so I can revert back to my usual lazy mothering technique.
Although she is getting to practice her reading whilst her little brothers build their creations so perhaps it's a bit of good mothering after all ...
Disclosure: Lego Duplo provided three sets of Read and Build packs to my me for the purposes of this review. All opinions and words are my own.
