Let’s play Animal Magic!

Here's how to play Animal Magic

What you'll need:

• LEGO^® DUPLO^® bricks and LEGO^® DUPLO^® animals (such as those in the Creative Animals set)
• a cloth bag

If you don’t have any DUPLO bricks, you can use books, wooden blocks and toy animals

How to play

• Build 3 different habitats or areas for your animals. This will depend on which animal figures you have but, for example, a jungle area (with orange and yellow bricks), an ocean area (with blue and white bricks) and a farm area (with green and red bricks).

• Put all the animals into your cloth bag.

• Get your child to put a hand in the bag and take out 1 animal.

• Which animal is it? Can your child make that noise? Can they put it in the right animal area?

Please note: the DUPLO set displayed in our pictures has now been discontinued but you can still play the game with other sets that contain animals, including the Creative Animals set.

Extra ways to play Animal Magic – for extra learning!

• Have more animals in the game
• Make the areas different shapes and sizes
• Add accessories (flowers, vehicles, trees etc) to the areas
• Talk about the differences in animal habitats – and why each one suits different animals
