Description

A case full of starter bricks

This is not a model with a fixed design like a castle or a vehicle, but a stock of bricks for free play. The 135 pieces come in a suitcase that can be closed and put away once the game is over, which is handy because Duplo bricks scatter across a playroom very quickly. Anyone starting to build simply stacks one brick on another and discovers towers, walls and imaginary creatures that nobody told them to make. That makes it a calm start for young builders.

Four strong primary colours

The most common colours are yellow, red, bright green and blue. These primary shades are typical of Duplo and help younger children recognise and sort colours. Sorting bricks by colour also quietly practises counting and comparing. For adults buying the set as a gift, the palette is a plus: it fits almost everything already on the shelf and combines with other Duplo sets without any trouble, so nothing ends up stranded.

Only 21 different parts

Among the 135 pieces there are just 21 different parts. That is a small number and exactly why it works: the choice stays simple, and plenty of identical bricks make it easy to build wide surfaces and tall towers. There are no minifigures, but you can add figures from other Duplo sets at any time. The suitcase then becomes a playground where a house, a road or an animal pen can be put together on a whim.

A first step into building

As a basic set the suitcase is a good first step into the world of building bricks, especially for children who cannot read instructions yet. It also works as an inexpensive addition to a larger collection. On this page you can see the complete parts list, and the “What can I build?” tool lets you check which ideas you can realise with the suitcase and the bricks you already own when you need fresh inspiration.
