Description

Driving lessons in Bikini Bottom

In the cartoon, SpongeBob keeps trying to pass his driving test with Mrs. Puff, usually with chaotic results. This set picks up that very scene and builds the boating school as a play environment. If you know the show, the references are instantly familiar. That makes it especially suited to children who like SpongeBob and enjoy acting out episodes, without needing any detailed plan in their heads. The humour of the show carries over into play almost by itself.

Warm tones instead of ocean blue

Surprising for an underwater theme, the main colours are red, reddish brown, dark bluish grey and light bluish grey. That gives a warm, earthy look closer to a workshop or driving school than the sea, which suits the subject well. With 126 different parts among 394 in total, there is plenty of variety. The reddish brown bricks in particular are useful for wood effects, cabins and roofs in other projects, should you reuse them later, and the grey parts add a neutral base.

Three figures, small scenes

Three minifigures suit the theme nicely: a teacher, a pupil and one more character are enough to act out the typical lesson. At just under 400 pieces, the set sits in the middle of the range and can be built in an afternoon. It is aimed at children of primary-school age, but is also of interest to collectors of the SpongeBob line. As it dates from 2007, take a look at the parts list if you buy a second-hand copy, so you know whether the important pieces for the scene are still there.

From parts to new ideas

If you would rather not leave the build standing, “What can I build?” shows which other sets your pieces plus this one could make. Red and brown bricks work for houses, barns and vehicles. The grey basics serve as a reserve for roads, walls or technical details. A licensed set thus becomes a flexible parts stock you can keep building with, quite apart from its original theme and without having to follow the template.
