Description

A zoo with plenty of variety

For a Duplo set of 126 pieces, 59 part types is an unusually high number. It suggests that the zoo works with many special shapes, perhaps for animals, fences, plants or gateways. As a result there are fewer uniform walls and more scenes with their own character. Children get a broad choice of shapes in their hands without the set becoming overly large. That keeps the play world varied and lively over time. Children notice this quickly.

Warm colours, green surroundings

Bright light orange and yellow add warmth and suit animals and the entrance, while green and bright green stand for lawns and plants. The colour split almost organises the set by itself: animals and buildings in warm tones, the setting in green. Going through the parts list quickly shows which pieces are more like figures and which belong to the landscape, so you can look for replacements or additions precisely. Sorting accordingly saves time.

Role play at the zoo

A zoo offers many roles: keeper, visitor, animal carer or ticket seller. The set supplies the backdrop while the stories come from the children. No minifigures are included, so the play figures come from other Duplo sets. The name Giant Zoo points to the size of the layout compared with smaller zoo sets from the same range, without implying any fixed set of building instructions. Any scenes then come from the children. Each play session can end up different.

Linking with other sets

Because Duplo bricks always fit together, the Giant Zoo combines well with farm, town or train sets. The full parts list is on this page. With the “What can I build?” tool you can see which further Duplo sets might emerge from your collection together with these 126 pieces, if you tip several sets into one box and design a larger play world from them. Animals and fences can be swapped around. Keepers' vehicles and extra paths join in easily.
