Description

Duplo with tubes

Duplo sets for the youngest builders rely on shapes and colours that are easy to grasp. Tubes, from 2001, is one of the basic sets and has no fixed instructions. With 58 pieces and no minifigures it is a set where experimenting comes first: what fits where, what can be joined, what rolls, stands or holds together? Those very questions are what makes building fun for children. Along the way they pick up how stability and balance work.

Surprisingly varied

21 different part types among 58 pieces is a lot for a Duplo set, as small basic packs often stick to a few basic shapes. Here there is more choice, which leads to more varied structures: towers, bridges, tunnels or simple vehicles. The pieces stay large and sturdy enough to keep younger children busy, and the mix gives parents a chance to name shapes together. Building thus becomes a small language exercise as well.

Red, yellow, blue and green

The four main colours are the classic Duplo tones. They are strong and easy to tell apart, which helps with sorting, counting and learning colours. If you want a set that works by play idea rather than by model, this is a good base. Adults who collect Duplo bricks for creative builds in the playroom will probably enjoy the colourful mix too, as the pieces blend well with bricks you already have.

Check the parts and combine them

In the parts list on this page you can see all 58 pieces by colour and shape. If you own the set, the “What can I build?” tool shows which models you can make together with your other Duplo sets. That is handy when plenty of loose bricks are already lying around the playroom and you would like to know which building ideas they could give you. There is often more potential in the jumble than you see at first glance.
