This 15-inch-square green base plate provides a building surface for any DUPLO set. It is made of the same sturdy, impact-resistant plastic as other DUPLO toys, and has smooth, rounded edges. DUPLO sets are designed for use by toddlers (ages 18 months to 5 years), and have bigger pieces and more rounded shapes than traditional LEGO pieces, so they can accommodate the needs of younger users. If you are shopping for a baby, try the LEGO PRIMO sets, which are even bigger and easier to handle. –Katherine Ferguson
Customer Review: Not at all what I was looking for
Disclosure: I’m a 49-year-old case of arrested development who used to build models of baseball stadiums with Legos when I was a kid, and I wanted to do it again. I bought this piece thinking it was the same green building plate I used to use when I was young. IT IS NOT. For anyone who thinks about buying this believing the pegs are standard Lego size, they are far too large and, as such, useless.
