LEGO® DUPLO® Town

Description

A starter set for small builders

Duplo is aimed at younger children whose hands still need room for large bricks. This set is one of the early basic sets of the range and relies on a simple idea: a little town that can be rebuilt however you like. With 63 pieces the quantity is deliberately modest, so children are not overwhelmed by choice. Parents and grandparents can build together and explain on the way how houses and vehicles take shape. Building then turns into a conversation about colours, shapes and everything a town needs to work.

Bright bricks in clear colours

Red, yellow, blue and black are the main colours, exactly the strong primary tones you expect from Duplo. The 63 pieces are spread over 20 different shapes. That is a good mix of standard bricks for walls and special elements for roofs or wheels. The parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity, which helps with sorting when several sets have ended up in the same toy box. The list can also guide you while tidying up after play, so that nothing gets lost.

Play comes first

A town is not a model you build once and put on a shelf. The set thrives on houses being torn down, rebuilt and roads being moved. The big bricks are sturdy and come apart easily, even in small hands, and there are no tiny parts that vanish easily. If you see the set as a collectable, it is a piece of toy history from the seventies, when Duplo was just becoming established as a line of its own for the youngest builders.

Expanding the town

Duplo bricks fit all other Duplo sets, so the town is easy to extend. With the “What can I build?” tool on this page you can compare your collection with the catalogue data and see which models you could make from this set and the pieces you already own. That is handy when the toy box is already full and you want fresh ideas without buying new bricks. Streets, houses and vehicles can be combined into ever new scenes that match the child's imagination.
