Description

Everything in one bucket

As with many Duplo basic sets, everything comes in a bucket that later serves as storage. The 50 pieces are large and easy to grasp, which matters for the youngest builders. There are no minifigures, but the name hints at a cat theme. Parents tend to like boxes like this because everything can be packed away quickly after building, and nothing gets lost under the furniture when the play session ends. The pieces are big enough for small hands to hold properly, and they are not the tiny bricks a toddler could swallow.

Four colours for sorting games

Red, yellow, blue and green are the main colours. Children learn to tell these four apart early, so the bucket works well for simple sorting games: first by colour, then towers built in a single shade. The strong colours also keep the bricks from disappearing into the carpet, so they are easy to spot again when it is time to tidy up, even if a few have rolled somewhere unexpected. Keeping everything in the bucket also helps children see what they have and teaches them to tidy up after playing.

Ten different part types

The 50 pieces are made up of ten different part types. That is more variety than a plain bucket of bricks, though still easy to follow. Besides the usual basic bricks there are a few special elements that make builds more varied. For collectors the list is short enough to check a second-hand copy for completeness in a few minutes, without a long search through the parts list. Exactly which special elements are included is shown in the list further down, with the colour and count of every line.

Parts list and expansion

This page shows the full parts list with colours and quantities. The “What can I build?” tool helps you find out which other Duplo sets your existing bricks could make. Since all Duplo parts fit together, the bucket combines easily with other sets and supplies extra bricks for bigger play worlds, especially when several children are building side by side and need more material. Over time a single bucket can grow into a whole box of possibilities for towers, animals and vehicles.
