Description

The basic principle in pure form

Whole bricks and half bricks, and nothing more. The two types come in blue, red and yellow, and that restriction is what makes the set so clear: pick it up and you understand at once how the system works. The 20 pieces make towers, walls and little houses, with the half bricks helping to stagger joints and close gaps. Colour patterns, stripes and steps can also be laid out without any special parts.

A supplement to other sets

With its many plain bricks the set works as a supplement for larger Duplo collections, which often lack enough simple building blocks. Anyone who builds with Duplo in large quantities soon learns to value plain pieces. The parts list on this page gives you an overview. The "What can I build?" tool shows which models you could add together with your stock.
