LEGO® DUPLO® Harbour

Description

A harbour for small builders

This set comes from the Duplo line by LEGO® and takes up a subject children enjoy: ships, cranes, quays and water. The bricks are large and easy to grip and press together, so the set suits first building experiences. With 53 pieces the contents are clearly manageable, but they are enough to put together a small harbour scene in which a boat docks and cargo is moved around. Even without instructions the scene is easy to rearrange to your own taste.

Cheerful primary colours

Red, blue, yellow and green dominate. These primary colours are typical of Duplo and help even small children find their way around quickly. Blue recalls water, red and yellow make boats and vehicles easy to spot, and green provides variety. A total of 32 different part types among 53 pieces is a good choice for a set this size and allows more variations than you might expect at first glance. The clear colours also let children see at once which bricks belong together.

Play without figures

There are no minifigures in this set, which is usual for Duplo, where the larger figures often come in separate boxes. The harbour therefore works mainly as a backdrop and can be brought to life with figures or animals from other Duplo sets. For collectors it shows how the Town theme was handled for the youngest children in 1997, and thanks to its sturdy bricks it stays playable for a long time. Even after years the studs still grip firmly, and rough play on the floor does it no harm.

Combining and rebuilding

This page has the complete parts list with every colour. With “What can I build?” you can check which further models appear together with your other Duplo sets. The harbour combines well with trains, vehicles or animals, so that over time a whole town can grow around it, where ships, cars and houses are played with together. Reusing the bricks saves money and turns a small set into one piece of a larger whole.
