Description

The bucket as toy box

A bucket of bricks is the simplest kind of building set: there is no model and no instruction booklet, only material. Children tip everything out and start. Afterwards the bucket doubles as a tidy-up box and a way to carry bricks about, which makes it a practical long-term toy. For the very youngest this is ideal, as they can try things out freely and see what stacks, joins and comes apart again. They practise patience and dexterity along the way, and a fallen tower is no drama, just the start of the next attempt.

Four basic colours

Yellow, red, blue and green are the four main colours of the 72 pieces. They are the basic colours of many Duplo sets, so the bucket mixes with almost any other box into one shared play world. There are only 16 different part types inside. That means lots of identical bricks, just right for towers, walls and long tracks, where quantity matters more than special pieces. The contents also suit sorting by colour, which is a game of its own for toddlers.

Build freely, not by copying

With no figures included, play comes from the building itself. Children get to know shapes, colours and sizes without anyone having to explain them. It is a set for playing, not for display, and it grows with the child: add animals, vehicles or figures from other Duplo sets later, and the same bricks turn into a completely new world that is always free to change.

Parts list and add-ons

The complete parts list is further down this page. It shows which bricks are in the bucket and helps when checking a second-hand copy. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which other Duplo sets you can put together from your bricks. That saves money and gives an old bucket new jobs, even when the children have grown up a little and come up with fresh ideas.
