LEGO® DUPLO® Bob's Big Building Box

Description

A box full of bricks

The name gives it away: the box and its contents are the focus here, not one fixed model. The 52 pieces provide enough material for small structures, vehicles or made-up creations, and the box doubles as storage. That is practical in playrooms where tidiness is quickly lost. Bob the Builder supplies the theme, while the actual stories are invented by the children themselves. No minifigures are included in this set. If you like, build the site first and then let the vehicles move in.

Warm tones from the building site

Yellow, dark orange, light yellow and orange form a very warm and uniform palette. It recalls diggers, hi-vis jackets and sand, which suits the theme of the series. The similar shades look harmonious, yet the individual parts remain easy to tell apart. Building with these colours produces models that look like a building site at once, even with only a few bricks to hand. That makes it much easier for the youngest children to get started.

Only fifteen different parts

The 52 pieces consist of just 15 different elements, so many bricks appear several times. That is an advantage for free building, since identical bricks are easier to join into larger surfaces and towers. It also keeps the set clear, because children do not have to choose between dozens of special shapes. The precise breakdown is in the parts list further down this page, with colour and quantity for every element. That lets you judge before buying more how many bricks of each shape you should have.

Expanding and rebuilding

As everything belongs to the Duplo system, the box can be combined with other Duplo sets and grown steadily. The "What can I build?" tool shows which parts you already own and what would still be missing from a complete set. That helps when you want to sort an old collection or top it up on purpose. It is also useful before buying a gift, because you can see which bricks you already have in duplicate.
