LEGO® DUPLO® Storage Chest

Description

Bricks and a box in one

The idea is simple: the chest works as storage and as a toy at the same time. The set belongs to the Duplo range, where large bricks for small hands are the main attraction. At 142 pieces it is a solid starting stock, enough for first buildings. After play the bricks go back into the chest, which turns tidying up into a regular part of the game. For children it is often the easiest way to learn about order.

Fewer types, easier to follow

There are only 16 different part types, which is typical for a set in this range. For children that is good, because the pieces are easy to recognise and combine. The parts list on this page shows every entry with its colour and quantity. Parents and collectors can use it to check whether a second-hand copy is complete, or to hunt down one particular brick that has gone missing, or to recount everything after tidying up or moving house.

Yellow, blue, red and green

The main colours are yellow, blue, red and green, the classic basic shades of the range. They are easy to tell apart and well suited to naming and sorting colours. No minifigures are included, but figures from other Duplo sets can be added without trouble. The chest and its contents can quickly turn into a small farm, a house or an imaginary landscape of your own making. Because the bricks are large, building stays easy and frustration-free for beginners.

Adding it to your collection

If you already own Duplo bricks, this set gives you a practical extension complete with a container. The “What can I build?” tool shows which models come out of your collection and this set together. That is most worthwhile if you have several basic sets and want to know how many larger structures they can make when pooled. Siblings can also work together on one project this way. Because chest and bricks belong together, everything stays in one place and is easy to take along.
