LEGO® DUPLO® My First Zoo

Description

Animals to try out

The title says it: this is about a first zoo, which mostly means animals, enclosures and simple actions. With 60 pieces the set stays small but offers enough elements to suggest several areas. Children can feed animals, move them and give them new places. That suits an age when matching and imitating are central and every play idea is acted on straight away. If you already own other animals from Duplo sets, you can let them move into the zoo.

Bright colours as a learning aid

Bright light orange, bright green, red and blue shape the set. The strong tones are easy for small children to tell apart and work well for learning colours or sorting into groups. With 22 different part types the selection is easy to take in. That helps because not too many special shapes cause confusion, while variety still appears when fences, gates and roofs come together in different colours. Parents can also see at a glance from the colours which parts belong to which enclosure when tidying up.

Play without fixed rules

Since no minifigures are included, the children decide who works in the zoo and who comes to visit. Figures from other Duplo sets quickly extend it: a keeper, some visitors or a car at the entrance. The set also works well for playing together with siblings, as each child can take over an area without arguments over individual special parts. Shared role play also quietly encourages language and imagination.

Exploring and extending

The complete parts list with colours and quantities is on this page. Because Duplo bricks fit together, the zoo is easy to extend with other Town sets. The What can I build? tool shows which further models could come from this set and your collection, in case the children eventually want to rebuild the enclosures and try out new ideas. Rebuilding after play is quick too, because the parts are easy to tell apart.
