Description
Learning through animal play
The Education range is meant for nurseries and schools, where play and learning belong together. With this set, children build wild animals and their surroundings from big Duplo bricks and tell stories as they go. The 104 pieces make various scenes in which animals, habitats and behaviour can be discussed. Teachers often use it to encourage language, because children describe quite naturally what they see and where each animal is heading while they build and play. It fits topics such as the zoo, Africa or the jungle very well.
Jungle colours
Bright green and lime stand for plants, tan for savannah and ground, and dark orange adds accents for the animals. Of the 104 pieces, 32 are distinct, which is decent variety for bricks of this size. Since the material matches the regular Duplo range, it mixes with the stock of a nursery or a playroom. That lowers the barrier to experimenting and means the set does not end up isolated in one box but becomes part of everyday play.
Building and storytelling together
The set works for groups as well as for free play. Children can design enclosures together, set up feeding places or act out a safari. In doing so they practise agreeing, sharing and patience, while using animal names and words such as big, small, fast or slow. Even without fixed instructions, first ideas appear quickly, and adults can prompt with questions about where the animal sleeps or what it eats.
Parts list and collection
The parts list on this page shows every element with colour and quantity, useful for settings that want to check or top up their stock. The What can I build? tool tells you which other Duplo sets you could make from your bricks plus this one. Animal figures and plant pieces are often needed in other scenes, so the set slots neatly into a growing Duplo collection. If you like, finish by sorting the animals by colour or size, which quietly practises counting and comparing.
