LEGO® DUPLO® Little Farm

Description

Country life for small hands

Duplo bricks are twice the size of regular bricks and made for children who cannot yet handle fine parts. The Little Farm shows a slice of country life with a farm building and matching details, and it was released in 2004 in the Duplo Legoville line. The big elements make the set sturdy, and the steps are simple enough that even pre-school children can join in early without getting frustrated or needing much help from adults. It helps that the pieces are big enough not to vanish into the carpet.

Warm colours from the yard

Red, light brown, dark tan and white shape the set and give it a friendly, rural mood. The red recalls classic barns, the brown suggests wood and earth. Of the 52 pieces, 24 are different types, a lot of variety for a small Duplo set. The colours also fit other Duplo farms, so if you later combine several sets you can extend the landscape without anything clashing. Mixing with other sets is easy too, because all Duplo bricks fit together.

Play without minifigures

There are no minifigures, and in Duplo figures are a separate kind of part anyway. You play with what you have at home: animals, Duplo people or vehicles from other sets all find room on the farm. Whether parents help or children get going alone, the build is over quickly, and that leaves time for role play, tidying up and rebuilding, when the farm can turn into a completely different building. That is a good way to show children the fun of building early on.

Using the parts, growing the collection

This page has the complete parts list in case a brick is missing or you are buying the box second-hand. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other sets your Duplo bricks could make. That helps when siblings share a stock, or when you bring an old crate down from the loft and want to know what is in it and what new things you could assemble from it. It is handy for sorting out as well, when children outgrow Duplo.
