Description

A playground to act out

Children know playgrounds from everyday life, and the set picks up exactly that. From 106 large bricks you can make equipment for acting out little scenes: sliding, climbing, waiting, coming back for another go. That encourages imagination and speech, because children tell stories about what happens on the playground. The set comes from the educational range, where LEGO® supplies material for nurseries and primary schools, but it works just as well at home. No instructions are needed, only time and a little space on the carpet.

Colour and variety

Red, yellow, bright green and white are the dominant colours. The 106 pieces come in 50 different shapes, which is a great deal of variety for a Duplo set. Next to the standard bricks there are special parts for structures and decoration. If your child likes to sort, there is plenty to do: every shape has its place, and the number of variants invites you to build several pieces of playground equipment side by side.

Playing together

Because the bricks are big and easy to hold, several children can work on one playground at the same time. In a group the jobs almost divide themselves: one builds the slide, another the steps, a third hunts for matching colours. That practises talking things through and planning together. At home siblings or parents can join in without anyone needing to keep track of lots of tiny pieces. On the way they learn how good it feels to make something together that is still standing at the end.

Building on with Duplo

Duplo bricks are compatible with every other Duplo set, so the playground can be extended with animals, vehicles and houses. The complete parts list with colours and quantities is on this page. Use “What can I build?” to check which further models your existing collection could make. Over time a single set can grow into a whole town in which the playground is only one part, and children will probably invent new uses as they go. Teachers also like that the set combines easily with material they already have.
