Description

A box full of beginnings

There are 250 Duplo bricks but only four shapes, so this set deliberately skips the specialist elements. There is no model you have to copy, only a large supply of basic bricks. That is exactly what makes it a good starting point. Small children learn how bricks hold together while they stack, and they can put up buildings from their own imagination. Parents get material that does not end up on the shelf after a single game, because the bricks can be rearranged again and again.

Colours to sort

Blue, yellow, red and bright green are the main colours. The shades are strong and easy to tell apart, which helps with sorting and allows first games around colour. You can build a tower from yellow only, stack a wall in alternating red and blue, or lay out a green meadow. Small tasks like these train eye and hand without anyone having to read a manual. Tidying up by colour afterwards is easy to turn into a game as well.

Four shapes at a glance

With only four different parts, the list on this page is quickly understood. You can see how many bricks of each kind are in the box and how well the set mixes with other Duplo packs. If you already own animals, figures or vehicles, the basic bricks add more material for stables, houses and garages. Since the shapes are simple, they fit almost everything else the range has to offer without any trouble.

For collections and playrooms

The set works as a foundation for a playroom and as a top-up for collections that have run short of bricks. With the “What can I build?” tool on this page you can check which further models your existing parts allow when combined. From 250 plain bricks new ideas appear quickly, and you do not have to buy anything extra. That holds above all when other Duplo sets are already in the house.
