LEGO® DUPLO® Clock Tower Bob

Description

A television builder for toddlers

The television series Bob the Builder was also turned into a Duplo range around this time, and this set puts the main character at a clock tower. Duplo bricks are twice the size of the standard ones, so younger children can grip them and stack them easily. The set therefore suits pre-schoolers and the parents or grandparents who build alongside them. The story comes from the show: Bob repairs and builds, and the child gets to act it out at the table or on the floor.

Fifty pieces, one tall tower

The set contains 50 pieces in 16 different types. For Duplo that is a manageable amount, though far from tiny, since each brick is large. A clock tower is a rewarding subject: it grows upwards, it can be explained layer by layer, and with a little help it is finished quickly. There are no minifigures in the usual sense, and the figure is one of the larger Duplo types that are made for play and are hard to lose.

Yellow, blue and a touch of orange

The model is dominated by yellow and light yellow, with blue and dark orange as supporting colours. Strong shades like these are typical of Duplo and help small children sort and name the pieces. While building you can ask for colours, count the bricks or simply make the tower as tall as it will go. The exact colours and quantities are listed in the parts list further down this page, in case you want to check them for a collection or a swap.

Rebuilding and mixing

Duplo pieces fit one another, so the clock tower mixes easily with other Duplo boxes. From 16 different types you can quickly make new towers, houses or made-up buildings. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which further models are possible from the sets you already own. Older Duplo sets like this one are also a welcome addition when a younger sibling already has a larger collection and needs a few more bricks.
