LEGO® DUPLO® Farm

Description

Big bricks for small hands

This set is not part of the classic minifigure ranges but of Duplo, the larger bricks made for younger children. The Farm came out in 1979 and consists of 66 pieces. No minifigures are included, so the set concentrates on buildings and scenery rather than people. The big elements are easy to grip and push together, which means even children just starting to build quickly get a visible result and can carry on adding to it themselves. A set from the early years of Duplo Town is also a nice piece of toy history for parents who grew up with the bricks.

Yellow, red, blue and green on the farm

The palette is yellow, red, blue and green, exactly the strong primary colours you expect from Duplo. That makes the set easy for children to read, since each colour can stand for a part of the farm, from the barn and the roof to the field or the fence. The bold tones are a plus for collectors as well, because they still look fresh after decades, provided the bricks were stored well and kept out of direct sunlight. The result is a cheerful farm that catches the eye in a playroom and invites children to keep playing.

Twenty-seven kinds of part for a manageable build

Of the 66 pieces, 27 are different types, a respectable figure for Duplo. The result is a model with enough variety for a convincing farmyard without becoming confusing. The parts list below shows each element with its colour and quantity. If you plan to buy a used set, you can use it to check whether anything is missing, and if you already own the bricks, it tells you which parts turn up again in other Duplo models. Such overlaps are handy, since gaps can often be filled with bricks from other sets.

Carry on playing with the building tool

Duplo bricks are surprisingly versatile, as their large shapes combine freely with one another. With the “What can I build?” feature on this page you can see which models your collection can form and which parts would still be needed. That turns the Farm from a single set into a starting stock for ideas of your own. The walls and roofs could become barns, garages or an entirely different house, whatever the children fancy.
