LEGO® DUPLO® Green Canister

Description

Basic bricks for free building

This is a classic basic set: instead of one model you get 80 bricks that can become whatever the children imagine. Towers, walls, vehicles or animals appear without any instructions. The name suggests the bricks come in a canister, which is also where they go back afterwards. That is useful, because tidying up is part of playing, and a sturdy container makes it much easier to get the bricks put away again.

Mixed colours, simple range

Bright green, yellow, blue and red are the main colours, the classic primaries that even small children tell apart easily. There are only seven different elements among the 80, which means many identical bricks in different colours. That makes the set suitable for sorting, counting and comparing. Anyone who wants to play with colours and quantities has ideal conditions here. There are no minifigures; the bricks themselves take the starring role. Patterns and rows are easy to lay out with them too.

An add-on for other sets

With hardly any special pieces, the canister works well as an expansion. If you already own a Duplo set with vehicles or animals, extra basic bricks give you more room for houses, stables and garages. Older children can use them for bridges or staircases. And when the canister eventually becomes too small, any new Duplo brick will fit in without trouble, because the system has stayed compatible across the years, so the collection can keep growing without any break.

Parts list and topping up

The parts list on this page shows all seven different elements with colours and quantities. That helps when buying a used set and wanting to know whether the 80 bricks are all there. The “What can I build?” tool tells you which models your collection can produce. Since there are so few part types, missing bricks can usually be replaced easily from other Duplo sets, so an incomplete copy is rarely a problem.
