Description

Vehicles for the classroom

The set belongs to Duplo and Explore in the educational range, so it was made for nurseries and schools rather than for ordinary toy shops. The title points to vehicles that travel around a community, things children know from everyday life. At 35 pieces the kit stays manageable and can be built quickly within a group.

Colourful variety in few pieces

What stands out is the number of part types: the 35 pieces split into 23 different types, so almost every part appears only once or twice. That suggests a set with many special shapes for the vehicles rather than identical standard bricks. The colours red, yellow, blue and black are bold and easy for younger children to recognise. Anyone collecting educational sets from the eighties finds a rare example here that differs clearly from the usual toy range.
