Helping your child learn to listen and build can be tough but it doesn't have to be. We gave 40 CafeMom members one Read & Build set from Lego Duplo and asked them to try it with their toddler. With the new Read & Build sets, Lego Duplo is helping moms read to their children while helping them improve listening skills, memory, and accelerate learning. Check out this video and the comments on this post to see what our moms thought!

Here are some great responses from our CafeMoms!

If you have a little one that enjoys playing with Duplo blocks then this is a great thing to have. This adds to the fun of reading and play time.

We got the "Let’s Go! Vroom!" set. My 3 year old loved "helping" the characters and the directions in the story were easy to follow. Her birthday is coming up so I think I am going to get her the other 2 sets.

Allie loved it. It was super easy to understand and build the characters. She really enjoyed the story "Grow Caterpillar Grow" and when we were done she used the characters and made up her own story that she acted out.

we make them part of everyday. reading is done at every chance and especially at bedtime. building is done with everything from legos to empty boxes. these things are a big part of our toddlers life and make learning fun for all of us

Brady LOVES to read his books!  He mainly flips through the pages really fast:)

my dd loves to read. We read before nap time and bed time everyday. Her favorite day of the week is library day. I can't wait to try these out with her.

 DS loves books ! He loves story time at night and he pretends to read stories while we work during the day. My little book worm.

He isnt into building much, but he will play with others.
