LEGO® DUPLO® Bucket (Small Idea Bucket)

Description

Duplo as a first step

Duplo bricks are larger than classic bricks and designed for small hands. This 2001 bucket is one of the basic sets: no fixed instructions, no minifigures, just 60 pieces that can be put together however you like. With only 6 different part types the choice stays manageable, so children find their way quickly and can start building at once without being distracted by a flood of specialised shapes. That makes getting started pleasantly relaxed.

Four primary colours

Red, blue, green and yellow are the main colours, just as people know them from Duplo: strong, clear and easy to tell apart. That helps with sorting, counting and learning colours, which many parents value in a set like this. If you want to build towers in rainbow order, or make animals and houses from basic shapes only, everything you need is in the bucket, and the simple bricks are easy to pull apart again, even for inexperienced fingers without any help.

The bucket as storage

The name gives it away: the set comes in a bucket, which is handy for tidying up after play. It saves space and is useful on the move, whether the bricks are going to a bedroom, to the grandparents or into the garden. As a small starter stock it also expands an existing Duplo collection and tops up the standard bricks that you can never have enough of. With Duplo, simple basic bricks are always in demand.

Parts list and ideas

The parts list on this page shows all 60 pieces by colour and shape. If you own the set, the “What can I build?” tool shows which models you can put together with your other sets. Parents can find it worth a look too, as a few basic shapes are enough to make animals, vehicles or small houses that you can build together, one step at a time. Building then becomes a pleasant activity to share.
