LEGO® DUPLO® Large Bucket

Description

Bricks that travel with you

The bucket is more than packaging. It doubles as storage, so the contents stay together even when a child wanders off to play elsewhere. That makes the set a practical companion for journeys or visits to relatives. With 91 pieces there is plenty to build without losing track of everything. There are no minifigures included, so the children supply the inhabitants of whatever they construct from their own imagination. It also helps tidy-up time, since everything has an obvious home again afterwards.

Four colours, 15 kinds of piece

Green, yellow, red and blue make up the colour mix, and with 15 different elements the choice stays manageable. With Duplo that is no drawback, quite the opposite: lots of identical bricks mean small builders can put up towers, walls and vehicles without hunting for a particular piece. The primary colours also make it easier to learn colour names and to sort bricks into groups, which pre-schoolers tend to find absorbing. You can even count the bricks together to practise first numbers.

Building without a plan

A Basic set has no set goal. You can change the model on a whim, knock it down and start again. That is exactly where the value lies: it invites experiments and can be expanded at any time, because every Duplo brick fits together. If you already own other Duplo sets, the bucket is a useful addition, mainly because it raises the number of basic bricks available for bigger projects. Siblings can work on the same model at once, which keeps things friendly.

Log the bricks, collect ideas

The parts list on this page shows which bricks should be in the bucket. That helps when you check a second-hand tub where a few pieces might be missing. If you already own the bricks, the “What can I build?” tool can tell you which models they add up to. Children benefit because they get fresh suggestions, and adults do not have to spend ages thinking up something new to build. Parents and grandparents can quickly see what is missing, too.
