LEGO® DUPLO® Sofia's Royal Castle

Description

A castle for the youngest

Duplo bricks are twice the size of regular ones and are easy to grip and press together. That is why sets like this are aimed at pre-school children. The castle comes from the range based on the Disney character Sofia the First, a young princess living in a kingdom. At 87 pieces it is large enough for a proper play world, yet simple enough that children can build it themselves with a little help from a grown-up.

Purple, lavender and pink

The colours are clearly tailored to the audience. Dark purple and light lavender dominate, with white and dark pink as accents. The result is a fairy-tale look that immediately suggests a princess castle. With Duplo, colour matters a great deal: children recognise pieces by their colours, sort them into groups and so learn, almost without noticing, to form categories and spot patterns. The palette stays harmonious, so the castle also looks pretty in a nursery.

Made for play, not for display

This set is less a model to look at than a playground. Rooms, furniture and accessories invite children to invent stories and to rebuild the castle again and again. There are no minifigures, because Duplo uses its own figure types. With 30 different part types the selection is easy to oversee, which is ideal for beginners, yet it offers enough variety that the castle does not have to look the same twice.

Parts and combinations

You will find the complete parts list on this page, with every colour and quantity. It helps when you want to check a second-hand castle for completeness. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other sets you could put together from your Duplo bricks. Because every Duplo range fits together, the castle can be extended with animals, vehicles or other houses to form a larger landscape for the whole kingdom, which grows along with the children's ideas.
