LEGO® DUPLO® Build and Play

Description

Free building for the youngest

Duplo bricks are twice the size of regular bricks, designed for small hands and pre-school children. This basic set skips a fixed build plan and offers a tub of bricks from which towers, houses or vehicles can grow. At 100 pieces the amount is big enough for long play sessions yet still manageable. Children decide for themselves what to make, and pick up shapes, colours and counting along the way. The bricks snap together firmly and are large enough not to get lost, even during boisterous play.

Yellow, red, green, blue

The four basic colours take centre stage, just as in a classic toy box. They are easy to name, sort and combine, which appeals to younger children. What stands out is the limited variety: among the 100 pieces there are only 10 different types. Many bricks look alike, which is an advantage here, since towers and walls go up from matching bricks without any single special part being missing. Growing up with Duplo, children learn playfully how to bring order to colours and sizes.

Playing together

The set works as a first building set for toddlers, and also as an addition to an existing Duplo collection. Parents and grandparents can join in, bringing animals or figures from other sets and inventing little stories. Without minifigures in the box there is plenty of room for original ideas. The big bricks are easy to grip and can be pressed together and pulled apart even by inexperienced hands, which brings quick successes. That matters especially for toddlers, since small successes motivate them to keep building and exploring.

Reusing the pieces

The parts list on this page shows which bricks are in the box. If you already own other Duplo sets, the "What can I build?" tool helps work out what the combined collection can make. Primary-colour basics are the foundation of almost every Duplo build and mix freely with other sets. That way the tub grows along with the child. Later the bricks can be combined with animal figures, vehicles or train parts from other sets.
