Description

A bucket of basic bricks

Basic sets are the simplest way to give someone Duplo: one container, plenty of bricks and no fixed model. That is exactly what defines the Medium Bucket. There is no instruction for a particular build, only material for free play. Children stack, sort and build as they please, and afterwards the bucket doubles as storage. This keeps the set in use for years, even as interests change. For parents it is a modest set with no follow-up costs.

Few types, many pieces

Of the 57 pieces, only 11 are different elements. That is a strikingly low figure and shows that mostly the same basic shapes appear several times over. For free building this is ideal, since bricks that repeat can be combined into towers, walls and vehicles. Open the parts list and you can see at a glance how many bricks of each type the bucket holds and in which colours they come.

Bright primary colours

Yellow, red, green and blue are the four colours that have always shaped Duplo. They are strong, easy to tell apart and therefore good for sorting and counting, which is a form of play in its own right for small children. For adults who want to top up the parts, the colour split is handy: four basic tones are simple to add to, because they turn up in almost every Duplo collection and barely differ between years.

What can you build from it?

Because the bucket has no fixed model, the Which sets can I build? tool is especially worth a look. Enter your stock and you will see which Duplo sets can be put together from these and further bricks. The bucket also makes a useful addition to a larger collection, as it brings plain basic bricks that special sets often lack. There are no minifigures, but there is plenty of material for ideas of your own.
