LEGO® DUPLO® Bucket

Description

A container that comes filled

The appeal of this set lies in its packaging: a bucket full of bricks is not just storage but a toy in its own right. Children can tip the bricks out, sort them and put them back before they have built anything at all. For toddlers this free handling is often more exciting than any set of instructions. Tidying up becomes part of the game, which parents tend to appreciate as well. Parents benefit too, because bricks and container stay together and nothing gets lost somewhere in the children's room.

Only four kinds of part

The parts list is extremely short. Four types across 69 pieces means the box is mostly the same bricks in different colours. That is by design rather than a weakness: with little variety nobody can pick the wrong part, and everything fits everything else. Towers, walls and simple vehicles appear almost on their own. When checking a second-hand copy there are only a few types to count, which keeps the completeness check simple. The piece count is unusually high for such a simple set, which leaves plenty of room for free ideas.

Four colours to sort

Blue, green, yellow and red are the main colours and give children an ideal start in sorting. First by colour, later by size or shape: even a single bucket makes room for small learning games. With no minifigures included, the bricks themselves take centre stage. If you want more variety you can mix them with other DUPLO sets, since all parts in this system are compatible and combine freely with each other. It also makes replacing parts easy, since missing bricks can be found again without a long search.

A foundation for more

A bucket like this is a good foundation for a DUPLO collection. This page lists all 69 pieces with their colours, in case you want to top up or check second-hand bricks. The Which sets can I build? tool shows which models your own collection can make. Step by step, a simple container grows into a collection with room for larger building projects. When children later move on to larger sets, the bucket can keep serving as a handy container for loose bricks.
