Description

A kit made for classrooms

Dacta was the educational label under which bricks were sold for schools and teaching. This set sits in the Town strand and provides the basics for building houses and street scenes. For lessons it was a practical idea: buildings as the topic, bricks as the material. If you track it down today you get a small piece of educational history, although it works just as well as an ordinary town set on your own shelf.

White, yellow, blue and red

The palette is bright and clear. White, yellow, blue and red give the buildings a friendly, almost textbook look. With 41 different part types the choice is limited, which keeps the build approachable for beginners. There are no confusing specialist elements, just plain bricks and plates that turn into walls, roofs and windows. That suits a set that is meant to encourage experimenting and trying out ideas rather than following a strict model.

Six people for the town

Six minifigures turn the buildings into a lived-in neighbourhood. They can live or work in the houses, or meet in the street. For telling small stories this helps, because every building gets someone with a role to play. If you combine the set with other town sets from the same period, you can put together a whole street or district. The figures give younger builders an easy way into role play and make the set more than just a pile of walls.

Completeness and reuse

The parts list on this page helps you check a second-hand copy for completeness or look for missing bricks. At 420 pieces the scope is easy to survey. If you already have bricks at home, the What can I build? tool shows which other sets they could make. The basic bricks in white, yellow, blue and red are versatile and fit into almost any town project, so nothing in the box goes to waste.
