LEGO® DUPLO® Creative Picnic

Description

Eat outside, build inside

A picnic is a theme that children know from everyday life, which is exactly why this set works so well. With 53 pieces in 19 different part types there are enough bricks for a small scene, but not so many that anyone loses track. Children build what they have eaten before, and then lay the table. The point is less a fixed result than the free play that comes naturally when the bricks are this big and easy to handle.

As colourful as a fruit basket

The main colours are red, yellow, lime green and orange, which are the colours people link with fruit and summer. That is no accident and it makes the set easy to read: a red brick becomes an apple or a tomato, a yellow one a banana or a piece of cheese. If you check the parts list you can see which shapes come in which colour, and use that to come up with your own dishes and little buildings.

A toy that grows with the child

There are no minifigures here, but Duplo figures and animals from other boxes can be invited along to the picnic. Parents tend to join in, because the bricks are big enough to be fun for adults too. The set works as a first purchase and as an add-on: if you already own plenty of Duplo, you get a batch of especially bright pieces that combine with everything else and bring fresh splashes of colour to the playroom.

Sorting and looking up parts

Toddlers lose bricks easily, under the sofa, in the garden or inside the vacuum cleaner. The parts list lets you check exactly which shape and colour is missing when a piece goes astray. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which further models you can make from your existing Duplo bricks together with the parts in this set. That quickly turns the 53 bricks into several new play ideas, which is handy once the children want something other than the first day's picnic basket.
