Description

Big bricks for small hands

Duplo bricks are larger than classic ones and are therefore meant for younger children. This Basic Set appeared in 2004 and contains 260 pieces that are easy to press together and pull apart again. Instructions for copying a model are helpful but not essential, because large bricks make towers, walls and animals possible from an early age. As a result the set makes a good foundation for free building and a first feel for shapes and colours.

Primary colours and bright green

The colour list leads with blue, red and yellow, plus a bright green. These are classic primary colours that small children can tell apart easily. The name Strata hints at layered constructions in which colours alternate level by level. With this selection you can build bold colour patterns without things getting confusing. The mix also offers plenty of room for games such as sorting or counting by colour, and makes getting started easy. That teaches children their colours almost by accident.

260 pieces in just 19 types

The 260 pieces consist of only 19 different part types. That means many identical bricks, which is exactly right for a basic set: it can be combined at will without any hunt for special parts. The build is simple and results appear quickly. For display the set is less suited, but for play and experiments it is all the better, especially when children and adults build together on the living-room floor.

Reusing the parts

This page carries the complete parts list with colours and quantities, which helps you add missing bricks. The “What can I build?” tool also checks which other models your collection could produce. Duplo bricks are compatible with one another, so this set mixes easily with other Duplo sets, and as the collection grows you can make bigger castles, farms or vehicles without any trouble. If you have old Duplo boxes at home, it is worth checking whether the bricks can be added together.
