LEGO® DUPLO® Basic Bricks with Fun Figures

Description

Free building as the principle

The bricks themselves are at the centre here, not any particular model. With 50 pieces the set provides enough material for towers, walls and simple imaginary builds. There are no minifigures, but there are the fun figures of the title, who can move into the constructions. It is a classic approach for toddlers: try things out, rebuild, knock it down again. With no fixed instructions the child decides what appears, and picks up shapes, colours and stability along the way.

The basic colours as a quartet

The main colours are bright green, blue, yellow and red, the four tones most strongly associated with Duplo. They are bold and easy to tell apart, which helps with sorting, counting and naming. As these are standard colours, the bricks fit almost any other Duplo set, whether farm, zoo or town. Anyone building colourful towers gets a lively picture straight away with these four, without having to think about colour rules.

Only five kinds of part

Of the 50 pieces, just 5 are different. That is very little variety and sums up the core of a basic set: many identical bricks that can be combined in all sorts of ways. The parts list on this page shows which shapes are included, in what quantity and colour. It is handy if you want to check your own stock of plain bricks or buy the set deliberately to reach a certain number of one shape.

A foundation for more

All Duplo bricks connect with each other, so this set works as an extension for any collection. It supplies material for larger buildings, vehicles and scenes that would not be possible with special-theme sets alone. The “What can I build?” tool shows which models can be assembled from your stock once these bricks are added. The set came out in 2009 and is mostly traded second-hand today.
