LEGO® DUPLO® XL Bucket

Description

A bucket of primary colours

Red, yellow, green and blue make up the contents. These clear colours have always been typical of Duplo and help small children learn to tell colours apart and sort them. Because there are only eight different parts, there are plenty of duplicates, which is ideal for towers, walls and simple houses. The building is deliberately uncomplicated and needs no prior experience or instruction booklet, so even very young children can start straight away and try out ideas of their own.

Storing and carrying

The bucket serves as both packaging and storage. After playtime, all the bricks can be gathered up quickly, a real advantage in a children’s room. A container like this also suits nurseries, waiting rooms or travel, because it is easy to grab and carry. With 106 pieces there is enough for larger constructions without things becoming confusing, and nobody has to hunt around constantly for one particular brick. It also makes a practical present for families with several children.

Playing rather than copying

This set has no particular real-world model and no minifigures. Children build whatever occurs to them: a tower, a brick train, a garage. Along the way they practise fine motor skills, spatial thinking and planning in simple steps. For adults it means no guiding is necessary and you can simply join in. Shared projects with alternating colours and clear patterns are especially rewarding, and they are easy to change whenever the mood takes you. All that matters is that everyone enjoys trying things out together.

Expanding and combining

All the pieces fit other Duplo sets and can be mixed freely. If you already own a collection, “What can I build?” can show which models come from the bucket plus the bricks you have. The parts list on this page shows how many bricks of each kind are included, which helps when you are putting together a model you have in mind and tells you whether adding to your stock is really worthwhile. For a start, the bucket alone is usually plenty.
