How are LEGO Duplo bricks made?

Watch more with these video collections:

Not long ago I joined the awesome LEGO video team at the DUPLO factory in Hungary. I was there to host a video for LEGO’s social channels but they kindly let me vlog snippets as we toured around!

In the video above, Maddie Moate shows and tells how LEGO Duplo bricks and characters are made—almost five million bricks a day. She’s filmed how tiny granules of plastic travel through tubes to be mixed with color pellets. The pieces are then quickly molded and cooled in a plastic injection molding machine, printed with faces color by color, and assembled by machines.
