Description

Big bricks for small hands

Duplo is the line with the large bricks made for younger children. The Creative Builder Box supplies a basic kit of 78 pieces that can be combined freely. There is no required set of instructions: towers, houses, animals or vehicles appear as the mood takes you. No minifigures are included. That is an advantage when you want the focus to rest on pure building and stacking. That is handy for shared play with parents or siblings, since everybody can simply join in the building.

Bold primary colours

The main colours are medium azure, orange, red and yellow. This selection is deliberately clear and cheerful, and it makes even simple structures look lively. Children learn to tell colours apart and sort them, which slots naturally into a game. If you already own Duplo sets, you can mix these bricks with other parts without any trouble, since the whole range is compatible from end to end. Large, bright bricks are also easy to see and simple to sort by colour when it is time to tidy up.

25 element types

The 78 pieces are made up of 25 different elements. Besides standard bricks, these probably include plates, roof pieces and other shapes that give builds some variety. For Duplo that is a decent range, as the bricks are large and so need fewer types than the classic line. On this page you will find the complete parts list with every element and colour. That also explains why the box makes a good foundation, on which you can later build with figures, animals and vehicles.

Expand and recombine

The box suits a first purchase just as well as a top-up when bricks run short at home. The “What can I build?” tool can show which further models you could assemble from these parts and the bricks you already own. The collection then grows with the child, and simple towers turn into more complex buildings and play worlds that can be redesigned again and again. Anyone with several boxes can even create larger scenes such as a farm, a town or a zoo.
