Description

A set for testing ideas

There is no finished model to reproduce here. Tubes and connecting pieces are the focus, and children arrange them to see how things behave. They can lay out routes, change heights and watch what happens when something travels through a tube. The Education range is built around this kind of discovery, where questions arise from doing. A guide offers starting points, but the real value lies in changing the layout and comparing the outcomes with a friend or classmate.

Few types, lots of repeats

The numbers are unusual: 153 pieces belong to only 29 types, so each type appears more than five times on average. For experiments that is sensible, because the same element is needed again and again. Children can extend or repeat a construction without running out of parts. The parts list on this page shows the types and quantities, which helps if you buy a used copy and want to check that no connecting pieces are missing.

Bright and easy to tell apart

Red, blue, bright green and orange dominate. These strong colours are easy for young children to distinguish, and they can double as a way to organise work when groups build their own routes or when a child explains where a piece belongs. There are no minifigures, so the material itself takes centre stage. The storage box is handy in a classroom, since the set can be tidied away quickly and brought out again next time.

Combining it with what you own

These pieces can be mixed with other Duplo and educational sets to create longer experimental tracks. The “What can I build?” tool on this page shows which further models become possible with your own collection and the tube parts. The set then does not end up in a drawer once the experiments are finished, but serves as a base for new ideas. Because so many pieces are identical, you can build long, multi-level routes and let children test their guesses with small balls or other light objects.
